EastEnders' Howie Danes exit 'sealed' as fans predict 'shock return' for Vincent
Times are hard for George was hiding under the desk ' Howie Danes who's had his hours cut at the Post Office. During tonight's episode, he faced a number of setbacks - and fans think it's leading towards his exit and a split.
During tonight's episode, the character headed off for an interview with Nicola Mitchell for a bouncer job at Harry's Barn, but he was laughed away. Nicola told Howie he didn't have the psychical attributes she was looking for, all while Denise Fox.
If that wasn't enough bad news for Howie, he later overheard his partner Kim complaining about her relationship to her sister, whether he might return.
"I love him, of course I do," Kim began. It's just sometimes I'd like to feel like I've got somebody that I can fall back on, you know? I mean, even Patrick is paying for Yolande's Bridezilla act," she continued, unaware Howie was standing right outside the door.
She then went onto compare him to her ex Vincent, by saying: "It's just sometimes I miss how it was with Vincent... the fancy dinners, him telling me, 'yeah take my credit card babe!'"
Later on in the episode, a deflated Howie was heard telling Patrick he would put money on the horses for him, after he was banned by fiancé Yolande. Fans are now convinced that all the ongoings during today's episode are leading to an exit for the character...
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan questioned: "Is this leading to a howie exit?" while another wrote: "Any writer with a brain should be able to see that axing Howie and putting Kim & Junior together is the move. She's describing Vincent but Junior is very similar."
Others feared a split was on the cards for Kim and Howie - while others believed Vincent would 'return from the dead'. He was killed off-screen, after all. Vincent was shot by allies of Aidan Maguire in 2018, with his death confirmed three years later.
"So great to have Howie back getting more screen time although after tonight's episode I get the feeling that A breakup might be on the cards for Kim and Howie which is a shame because I really like them together as a couple. Howie deserved more screen time," one wrote.
Another predicted: "Howie is going to bet all of his savings on the horse and then win and then something happens so he has to complete a dodgy job and the person he's working for is Vincent."
"The Vincent mention in tonight's EastEnders," wrote another fan. Can we bring him back from the dead please thank you!"
It wouldn't be the first time EastEnders have brought back characters who were thought to be dead. Plus, earlier this year, Tameka Empson teased a return for Richard Blackwood, who plays Vincent in a chat with the Mirror.
Asked about Vincent and whether he might return, she told us: "Well where is he? And if he turns up he's got to turn up with something in his hands, cos it's been a long while now. We've cared for the children, out of house and everything. Watch this space people."
Will Howie and Kim's relationship survive - and will Vincent ever be making a return?

Speaking during a fun catch-up with Danny Dyer (who played Mick Carter), Patsy admitted she's been dropping hints ever since she left Walford. Taking to Instagram, Patsy posted a selfie with Danny as they reunited at a Paul Strank Charitable Trust event in London. She wrote in the caption: "With the divine @officialdannydyer who I just think is sublime at the @paulstrankcharitabletrust - what a great evening! "I had a wonderful time on @bbceastenders I would love to be back on that show." Fans were quick to call for her return too, as they flooded the comment section. One wrote: "You'd be great on EastEnders 😍 Absolutely I might even start watching again." Another added: "I would absolutely love to see you back." In an interview with The Sun, Patsy admitted she would love a soap comeback after revealing that EastEnders was her "dream job" and a career highlight. Speaking on the red carpet of this year's British Soap Awards, Patsy revealed: "Soap is something that I love and I loved my time at Emmerdale and my 4 years at Holby City, but then I went into EastEnders. EastEnders fans SWITCH OFF slamming 'worst episode' as backlash grows to controversial pregnancy storyline "EastEnders was actually my dream job, I've wanted to be in that show for years. "If I could throw a wish out there it would be that Emma could come back to see Lexi (her granddaughter)." Meanwhile, Danny is rumoured to be plotting his own comeback as Mick Carter. Danny claimed to have thrown in the towel three years ago because he couldn't believe his character got paired up with Charlie Brooks' Janine and got her pregnant. Best soap affair love triangles LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic? EASTENDERS Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning's dad Max in 2007. Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year. Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell. Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler - not realising it was caught on tape - and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic. Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day. A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira. CORONATION STREET Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street - extending it to bigamy. He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon. But it didn't stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him. Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband's nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later. When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled. Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price's best friend, Maria Connor. Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day. But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy. EMMERDALE Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale. She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride's betrayal via a recording played at the wedding. Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well - until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle. Robert's ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair - but fell to her death before she had the chance. However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair - after which she announced it to the whole pub. Talking on Sky's Smart TV he said: "Mick's got a kid with Janine, how mad's that? That's why I left. "They f*ing put me with Janine, I thought I've gotta fk off! It's the truth!" However, he later revealed: 'I was off my nut a lot of that job . . . a lot of Valium and diazepam.' He accused show chiefs of a lack of duty of care for the cast, and also said show bosses tried to stop him from drinking real beer while filming in the Queen Vic pub. But at the NTAs, Danny said: "Bring Mick back, which is the character I played in EastEnders. "So I could be back for it. You never found my body, f*** knows where I am - bring Mick back!" Could a double return be on the cards? The new EastEnders boss Ben Wadey has already brought back some iconic characters, such as Zoe Slater and Oscar Branning. And even more returns are in the pipeline - from the likes of Max Branning, Ben Mitchell and Anthony Fox. However, fuming EastEnders fans have recently threatened to switch off their TVs as backlash grows over a controversial pregnancy twist. Suki's (Balvinder Sopal) twisted plan to manipulate Avani (Aaliyah James) into having a baby – just so she can raise it herself - has received a huge public backlash. Viewers are slamming the storyline as 'unrealistic' and 'garbage', with some even vowing to ditch the soap for good. To make matters worse, Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suddenly spiralled into a gambling problem, despite two decades of betting without a hitch. Viewers were left scratching their heads and branding the writing "tedious" and "a challenge to watch." Can the soap win viewers back? EastEnders airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. 5 Pasty played Lola's mum Emma and thinks she can return to see Lexi Credit: BBC 5 Danny Dyer says he was 'off my nut' on Valium and Diazepam for a time during his spell on the soap Credit: Getty

Families of dead musicians including Ozzy Osbourne hit out at Sir Rod Stewart clip
Sir Rod Stewart has faced criticism for his 'tacky' AI video used while performing, featuring clips of the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, George Michael and Prince The family of a dead singer featured in Sir Rod Stewart's AI video have spoken out after he faced criticism. The Maggie May hitmaker is currently on the road performing to fans, but one video used during his set has come under fire. In the clip, Amy Winehouse, Ozzy Osbourne, Tina Turner, Prince, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Tupac, and XXXTentacion are seen posing for selfies while appearing to be in heaven. The AI footage has been used while Sir Rod performs Forever Young following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22, aged 76. The Black Sabbath legend was laid to rest during a private family funeral on their Buckinghamshire estate on July 31. The video sees Ozzy posing alongside George, Amy, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson and XXXTentacion. READ MORE: Jessie J reveals 'diagnosis' after hospital dash six weeks on from breast cancer surgery The clip, which has since gone viral on social media, has racked up over 4,000 views on TikTok and more than three million on X, formerly known as Twitter, has been branded "tacky". The original poster, Sloane Steel, who attended Sir Rod's concert in Alabama, said it was the "craziest most disrespectful s**t I ever saw in my life.". Now, Tupac's stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, has spoken out about the clip. Speaking to TMZ, he said: "I'm pretty sure we all love Rod Stewart. I'm not sure about the legalities of it, but I have no problem with him memorialising the greats. Personally, I'm good with it." Meanwhile, XXXTentacion's mum, Cleopatra Bernard, told the American outlet that she had no problem with her late son, who was murdered in 2020, being used in the footage. One fan said on social media: "Prince didn't even want his music on Spotify… I'm 100% sure he wouldn't have signed off on Rod Stewart puppeteering his face for this tacky…" Another went on to write: "Good idea: pay tribute to Ozzy and his friends in heaven. Bad idea: making an AI‑generated video with his dead friends/members." "Omfg, I was there too and was horrified by this. The whole thing felt creepy and unnecessary," commented another. "I mean, I'm sure they didn't mean to hurt anyone, but it's just weird IMO [in my opinion]," said another social media user. A fifth shocked fan went on to write: "The Kurt one is the worst one OMG they did him so dirty." However, one social media user claimed that the clip may not have been signed off by Sir Rod's team, and instead, appeared to have been pulled from a TikTok account, Eternal Stars, which produces videos of singers who have died. Many have argued that the content came too soon following Ozzy's death, with many of the Prince of Darkness's fans, friends and family members still mourning. The footage was used just days after Ozzys' family attended a memorial for him in his hometown of Birmingham, with his wife Sharon, children Aimee, Kelly, Jack and Louis, placing flowers for him on the Black Sabbath bench on Broad Street, in the city centre. Just weeks before his death, the rocker performed at his final show during the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park, which he had been determined to be on stage for. His Black Sabbath bandmate, Geezer Butler, said Ozzy was "frail" but "thrilled" to be able to perform for his fans, who had stood by him throughout his career.
