EastEnders cast set for new faces

EastEnders bosses are thinking about introducing a new family to Albert Square.

They are also planning to bring in new members of the Trueman family.

EastEnders' boss John Yorke has also confirmed tabloid reports that Angie Watts' character will finally be killed off.

Yorke said: "It's true we're killing off Angie - but with huge respect for Anita Dobson. It ties in with Letitia Dean returning as Sharon this spring.

Yorke also says Belinda Slater will make a comeback in the near future.

"Belinda Slater will play a bigger part. We're also expanding the Trueman family. Our feedback says they're popular. I think they're great. The black press also loves them.

"There'll be an influx of new colourful characters. We're discussing bringing in a new family, but there are no definite plans.

"You'll see a lot of changes in the second half of this year. We can't keep doing the same thing."
