“I like being able to go out and do all those things I’ve dreamed about” Alas, it appears Idris Elba’s long-running fan-tease around his following Daniel Craig into the shoes of Britain’s greatest cinematic super-spy has been nothing more than good natured ribbing after all! But there’s no denying his involvement with the coveted role of 007 is nothing less than the EastEnder’s star deserves for a decade in which he has emerged, not just as one of Britain’s finest acting exports, but as an international superstar with a bona fide global influence. There have been recent BAFTA-nominated appearances (Molly’s Game), directorial debuts (Yardie) and box-office-busting stellar turns (Thor, The Avengers franchise). But in spite of this cinematic pedigree, Idris professes his “first love” to be the sound of music.…

Her performances in cult comedies (Bridesmaids) and multi-million-dollar-earning musical franchises (Pitch Perfect) aside, there’s always a sense the focus on Rebel Wilson is more to do with her size-16 figure than her witty, anti-establishment, sardonic persona and whip-smart comic timing. It’s a line of questioning that’s dogged the Aussie since the beginning of her showbiz career, and shows no sign of abating nearly a decade on from a creepy turn in Bridesmaids made her a coveted comedic figure in Hollywood. “I’m asked all the time about my weight: ‘Do I want to lose the weight? Has it held me back?’” she explains. “I know how it all works but you think, ‘How many times can you answer the same question?’ I’m repeating myself.” In many ways, after all, Rebel’s outward…

A traumatised Hope thought that the burden of grief over baby Beth that’s been simply overwhelming her for months may be lifted by the self-sacrifice she made.

Hope believed she owed it to Liam to allow him to be a father, a role she guiltily thinks she robbed him of when Beth “died” at birth. The move has only brought more sadness. Finding herself confiding in her stepfather Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Hope (Annika Noelle) admits she misses Liam (Scott Clifton) but knows he’s much better off without her. In a rare show of compassion towards his own daughter’s rival, Ridge gently urges…

I’m sick of the way Thomas goes on about how Caroline told him a lie about her dying. It was not Caroline’s idea, it was Bill’s! He told her to say that she was dying to get Thomas to leave Sally.

Thomas and Caroline couldn’t have talked about that as she died of an aneurysm. Thomas and Steffy only think about themselves. They like to get their own way all the time.
