Walford Gazette #3

That Bianca, she’s a crafty one, ain’t she? If she can just get outside for two minutes, she could solve this crime for the police and BOOM! story over, right? Well, keep guessing people, because there is one heck of a twist coming… and with the news that Johnny Freeman has already filmed an exit for his character, Reiss Colwell, that can only mean exposure is imminent…

Meanwhile, 40 Years in Albert Square, hosted and produced by Ross Kemp will be an hour long look at the history of the show and it’s status as a societal influence and vice versa. He’ll be talking to the cast and crew, as well as looking back at classic moments with former cast members Anita Dobson (Angie Watts) and Pam St. Clement (Pat Evans) and presumably many more.

As usual, the spoilers for next week are below. Be warned however, SPOILERS as we approach the 40th…

Until next time,

The Curator.

Now where did I put that shovel…
