Some interesting stuff not least that Letitia and Jenna have known each other 30yrs, sadly that hasn't come across on screen so far.

I think it's a really good interview, also nice to know there will be some new characters soon

Pretty much confirms what we had all worked out for ourselves. I am liking the direction he is taking the show. i don't agree with the re-cast and bringing michelle back but it seems he has a plan so I am going to give it a chance because I believe in what he has done so far

The way he's spoken in this interview just tells you that he really does know how to write for characters. The way he speaks about what's coming up for Michelle just shows he knows that he's recreating the Michelle the viewers know and love for the 21st century, without changing her too much. She looks like she could have played Mary the Punk.

At least we now know there are new characters on the way, and that according to him 2017 will be EE at its best. I just hope he can find a way to keep all viewers happy without being too sensationalist.

is this a shade towards eastieoaks?!

Sounds exciting.

They are just getting their info from walford web but I doubt it is just targeted to that particular fan site there are loads of them all trying to do the same.

I don't get the urge to break embargos and genuinely spoil things for people just so they can say they were first to know and post it. I like spoilers as much as the next but there is a difference between posting spoilers and just plain spoiling things.

That being sad, had EE edited their clip properly they would have stood a better chance at keeping Michelle secret

Ah it's walford web that they are getting it from, how come walford web get embargoed spoilers? Thought they were just a forum

Pretty sure WW denied that, they even posted about not posting embargoed info on the forum, sure he said he has a account or someone sents him it.

No idea, but its coming from posters who post there. A few times people have seen stuff on there and then come and posted it here like Michelle the other week after the clip, Ada/Emerald Fox etc

WW posted the bbc trailer clip that showed michelle weeks ago and were all talking about it cos when it got posted as speculation here I went and read it. The bbc edited the clip/picture or whatever it was and removed michelle. The edited version was also posted on WW.

Yes the poster said he got it from elsewhere but didnt say where but the info is clearly coming from sonewhere and being posted in both places

That's what I thought as no one on walford web had posted the pictures that he posted on twitter and on here


Ah, will be interesting to see if he leaks Ronnie and Roxys exits before New Years Day

Speculation is different to deliberately releasing embargoed information, which the person runs that twitter admitting doing it and wasn't the first time either.

I think WW know better to then be doing stuff like that.

Two things I don't agree with him about...one that Sharon and Michelle were a pair of tearaways. They really weren't, if anything they were rather sedate and well behaved. And secondly that Michelle was a troubled teen. Again not true. She was mature and confident beyond her years and didn't waste time agonising over her life. She knew what she wanted and went for it.

Also the possible return of Cora has been leaked on Walford Web.

The speculation was a few weeks ago and before that person who runs the twitter account put up the thread/pics to confirm

I don't look at WW that often so am only commenting on what I have seen

Oh right I thought you was Esco on there? I thought thats why you been a bit narked about them.

Well either way, SOC is obviously aware of them and I hope put a stop to it, they probably keep a eye on the forums and twitter more then we are aware of.

I have never posted on walford web. It is only recently that I have looked and thats when is has been referenced

The only reason I thought you was said person is cause you said you was getting blame on there for the Cora stuff with Vaslav and well they also said it was you, but either way I'm sure EE will get to the bottom of it, if info is being leaked on purpose.

Yeah I was getting the blame cos they referenced my thread on here announcing coras return after seeing that pic

Wow it speaks...and all of it mainly crowing about what a success the Michelle recast has been, which we have yet to see if it's anything substantial or just another flop. Michelle, Michelle, Michelle!

It would have been great to hear more about other things planned and why he's made the decisions he has, but overall I'm not impressed with him in the interview. I don't think he's in touch with EE at all and everything that he thinks he's in touch with are quite distorted i.e. the history of Sharon.

Also the obsession with going back to the 80s is a bit much. Sure by all means ditch some crappy sensationalism but don't clone the 80s period. Find your own voice SOC without reheating Smith's leftovers.

Jenna has now also added to the mix

Very good interview, can't wait for the new cast. Confident he'll choose wisely.

Again, incorrect. Speculation does not break an embargo. Posting images and information from a BBC Account before the embargo has been lifted does. No one did that on Walford Web, but eastieoaks did on their Twitter account.

Do you have any proof that any leaks originated from WW? Because, it's wrong, frankly,

nothing i share comes from Walford Web except an article i coped recently once i got a warning for it they are not my source of info quit bad mouthing them if anything they try their best to keep spoilers in the right place and emabrgoed stuff secret
