EastEnders is said to be on the hunt for some big name stars.
The BBC One soap is going from strength-to-strength right now under the leadership of new boss Chris Clenshaw, who hasn’t put a foot wrong, delivering one excellent storyline after another, improving the show in the process.
But there could be a new big star set to rock up in Walford in reports are to be believed, with the latest claiming that the popular serial drama, which airs four times a week, is on the look out for a ‘big name’ to help put EastEnders ‘back on top’.
‘EastEnders has got a lot going for it but it really needs a new family to shake things up,’ a source told The Sun.
‘Bosses are looking at big names to go with big stories for the newcomers to really put EastEnders back on top.
‘The sky is the limit as far as they are concerned. They want the biggest and the best.
‘Fans could well be surprised at who will be arriving in Walford this year.’
An EastEnders insider told Metro.co.uk: ‘Chris has big plans for the show and is obviously looking at new characters but bosses are staying tight lipped about what’s to come but the next few months are set to be explosive.’
How intriguing.
This claim of a search for a big star name comes shortly after it was reported that a new family, featuring Strictly Come Dancing’s Molly Rainford, would be arriving in Walford in the coming months to take over the Vic.

‘Molly joins a long line of former finalists who’ve gone on to bigger things than the competitors who’ve ultimately triumphed,’ a source told the publication.
‘But anyone who saw her on Strictly could see the entertainment world was her oyster.’
EastEnders recently denied reports that Ray Winstone was joining the show.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
