Essex to join Eastenders

63 year old David Essex is to join Eastenders later this year with his on screen children in tow. He is to play Eddie Moon, Alfie Moon's Uncle and the grandfather of baby Tommy, who is of course the living child left in the controversial baby swop/cot death story line.

In other Eastenders news, after having to re write the baby swop story line after being inundated with they are due to air yet another controversial story just weeks later. This time round it is based around the idea of Sexploitation. The storyline will involve Janine pimping out Whitney to men whilst Whitney is totally unaware of the fact that she is selling sex. To try and avoid yet more complaints they are working with Comic Relief with this plot.

We'll have to see how that story line pans out or if we will be seeing another story cut short in a rushed re-write.
