Albert Square is heating up this summer with the explosive arrival of the Hawkins family — Nicola Mitchell’s estranged crew, bringing baggage, loyalty, and drama in their wake. Patricia Potter and Jamie Bamber headline as Gemma and Ned, with Felix Uff and Marian McLoughlin rounding out the new cast. Meanwhile, Zoe Slater’s iconic return is ending for good — her character is being killed off after filming her final scenes, and insiders say her comeback fizzled backstage. Expect a wild, emotional season as old wounds resurface and new alliances form. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
