ANNETTE BADLAND RETURNS TO ALBERT SQUARE

This week sees the brilliant Annette Badland return to Albert Square for an extended stay as Aunt Babe in Eastenders. A no-nonsense busybody with a big heart, Babe “Aunt Babe” Smith is the maternal aunt of Shirley (Linda Henry), Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White) and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer). Once again she is all set to shake up the square, this time with her highly illegal choice of earning some extra cash: dealing marijuana. We, like the millions of avid Eastenders viewers, can’t wait to see what’s in store for Annette and her Aunt Babe.

Eastenders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays at 7.30pm/ 8:00pm on BBC1.
