EastEnders fans fume over ‘missing character' as they say ‘we don't see everything'
The mystery is sparking theories, frustration and calls for answers from BBC bosses Square snub EastEnders fans fume over 'missing character' as they say 'we don't see everything' EASTENDERS fans have been left frustrated after noticing a major character has mysteriously vanished. Many viewers of the BBC soap are taking to social media to vent, claiming 'we don't see everything' that goes on in Albert Square.

Christian was nowhere to be seen at Roxy's funeral after she tragically died and hasn't been mentioned or popped back to Walford since. Fans reckon it's a major plot hole that just doesn't add up. Taking to a Reddit forum, one viewer wrote: "It seems really strange that Christian was such good friends with Roxy for years and never turned up to her funeral or came to visit Amy later in life, he was literally gonna raise her as his own at one point.

"Maybe mention Amy has gone to stay with him for a weekend or that they talk or something. There's no one better to talk about her mum to than him.

Top 10 most shocking Eastenders moments Amy Mitchell's had a rough ride this year so far, after getting caught up in the terrifying club crush that left her seriously injured and in a wheelchair. Before that, the teen was at the heart of a heartbreaking self-harm storyline, following a messy split from Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) and cruel bullying whispers at school. Advertisement Her struggles with mental health saw her start therapy, as the show tackled the sensitive issue head-on in powerful scenes that struck a chord with viewers. Christian is best remembered for his explosive romance with Syed Masood (Marc Elliot) - a secret love affair that rocked EastEnders to its core. Forgotten soap storylines The nation's soaps have had many gripping storylines play out over the years. However, some plots proved to be far less memorable. Here are some forgotten stories from Weatherfield, Walford and more... Coronation Street Ken and Audrey's romance (2015): After the death of wife Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride), Coronation Street original Ken Barlow (William Roache) started to move on in his life. He started to develop a spark with old friend Audrey (Sue Nicholls), with then-Corrie boss saying it would be like "Ross and Rachel". In the end, nothing ever came of it and the two remained platonic pals.

Beth's bigamy (2016): Despite being happily married to Kirk (Andrew Whyment), a troubling secret came to light about Beth Tinker (Lisa George). It transpired that she had never divorced from her first husband, Darryl (Paul Loughran), father of her son Craig (Colson Smith). Although Craig and Kirk were shocked - and Beth was arrested - the storyline didn't didn't go much further. EastEnders Kat Slater's secret son (2017): Capitalising on the popularity of Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie (Shane Richie), the two received a spin-off back in 2017. Titled 'Redwater', it saw the two travel to Ireland where they met long-lost son Luke, now called Dermott Dolan, played by Oisín Stack.

Alfie's brain tumour (2015): Having learned in 2015 that he had a brain tumour, Alfie kept the news from Kat until their trip to Ireland. At the time, actor Shane Ritchie revealed fans would see a change in Alfie as he battled the illness. It would appear that at some point after leaving the Square, was told the tumour was non-malignant. By the time Alfie returned in 2022, fans were left confused over what had happened to the storyline.

Kathy and Buster's affair (2016): In 2016, Walford legend Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) fell into the arms of convict Buster Briggs, played by Karl Howman. Buster was the long-time lover of Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and fathered both her sons - Mick (Danny Dyer) and Dean (Matt Di Angelo). When Buster left, he begged Kathy to join him, but she refused for the sake of her family. Meanwhile Buster didn't even stop to say goodbye to Shirley before exiting with a broken heart. Fans expected a showdown between the two women, but this never came to pass. Emmerdale Jacob's OCD (2016): After his dad, David (Matthew Wolfenden), was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016, Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) developed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This manifested in the form of cleaning. Jacob's OCD made a brief return one year on, after David had another scare after finding a lump. Jacob frantically searched the bins for a 'lucky coin' that had accidentally been thrown away. Despite stressful situations - such as being groomed by his teacher Maya, losing his fiancee Leanna to a serial killer, dealing with mum Leyla's drug addiction, and surviving a stabbing - the condition doesn't appear to have returned.

Marlon and Charity's fling (2003): Few fans would likely remember few will remember the one-night stand between Charity (Emma Atkins) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) in 2003. The pair slept together when Charity was staying with Marlon while still under suspicion for husband Chris's supposed "murder". Hollyoaks Alex Browning's revenge plot (2014): Fans expected a confrontation when Dr Browning's son Alex (Ojan Genc) mer stepmum Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe). After all, Mercedes, with Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) and Lindsey Butterfield (Sophie Austin) had murdered Alex's dad, double-murderer Dr Paul Browning, after he kidnapped and attacked his new wife. In fact, the soap teased Alex would seek revenge for his father's death upon arriving. However, he instead gave Cindy's son Hilton (his half-brother) a life-saving transplant, became his godfather, and leaving the village soon after. Syed, engaged to Amira (Preeya Kalidas) at the time, came out on New Year's Day 2009 in one of the soap's most groundbreaking moments, sending shockwaves through his strict Muslim family. Things turned violent when Christian was beaten up by Amira's relatives in retaliation. Advertisement And as the drama continued, trust between the couple started to crack - with Christian even ordering a DNA test via scheming Yusef, casting doubt on the paternity of Amira's baby, Yasmin. Still, the pair managed to patch things up, moving in together and exploring adoption and surrogacy. But the return of Amira with Yasmin stirred up more trouble, while Christian also faced false abuse claims from Ben Mitchell and a brutal bust-up with Phil. In the end, it all became too much. With trust in tatters, Christian left the Square - but not before Zainab and Lucy locked the couple in a room, forcing one final heart-to-heart.

Baby raves?! There was just one in L.A. and it was weird and wild with glow sticks galore
Natalie Z. Briones is a concert veteran. She's been to heavy metal concerts and a punk music festival where she napped most of the time. On Sunday, she attended her first baby rave. Natalie is a few months shy of two. In the arms of her dad, Alvin Briones, 36, the pigtailed toddler squealed 'Hi!' to anyone passing by the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood where the Briones family was lined up to meet Lenny Pearce, the mastermind behind Natalie's favorite song, 'The Wheels on the Bus.' It's not the classic version most parents sing while slowly swaying and clapping — Pearce's rendition rages with enough bass to rattle rib cages. Natalie is here for it, and so is her mom, Alondra Briones, who plays the techno remix during her drives to work even without Natalie in the backseat. 'It's a pick-me-up,' said Alondra, 28, from Compton, before filing into the theater with other parents and caregivers for an afternoon rager with their kids. In Pearce's techno remixes of classic children's music, an unexpected subgenre is taking off — toddler techno — which melds the cloyingly sweet lyrics of songs like 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' with the edgy beat drops associated with music from gritty warehouse parties. The unlikely musical pairing creates a bridge between parents like Sandra Mikhail and her 6-year-old daughter, Mila. Both dressed in fuchsia at Pearce's dance party, the mother-daughter duo were there to celebrate Mila's promotion from kindergarten. In their Riverside home, Pearce's music is on heavy rotation. 'I can handle kids' music now,' said Sandra, 38. 'With the beat and [Pearce] adding that techno touch to it, it makes me able to tolerate listening to it all day long.' For the last year, Pearce has been hosting sold-out dance parties boldly called baby raves — first in his native Australia — then on the first leg of his U.S. tour, which culminated in a June 29 double-header at the Roxy. In the afternoon show timed for that sweet spot many parents know well — post-nap and right before the evening witching hours — Pearce pranced, high-fived kids and waved at babies being hoisted in the air. At 34, he's been an entertainer for most of his life. Over a decade ago, he was dancing in music videos as a member of the Australian boy band, Justice Crew. Now, he's firmly affixed in his dad era. His dance partner is now a large balloon spider named Incy Wincy. 'I'm just being a dad on stage,' said Pearce in a video interview from New York. 'I can make a clown of myself to entertain kids.' Pearce's journey into children's entertainment seemed preordained, if only because his identical twin brother is arguably the second most famous purple character on a children's TV show (behind Barney, of course). 'We're both in the toddler scene,' said John Pearce, the older twin by minutes, who in 2021 joined 'The Wiggles' cast as the Purple Wiggle. '[My brother's] stuck with it for a long time, and it's all paid off now.' At the Roxy, many parents and caregivers said they found Pearce through the Purple Wiggle. Others discovered him on social media: He has more than 2 million followers on TikTok and more than 1 million followers on Instagram. Before becoming children's entertainers, the Pearce brothers were members of Justice Crew, a dance troupe that won 'Australia's Got Talent' in 2010. For a few years, the boy band's future burned white hot with the aspiration to break through in the U.S. — a dream that never materialized. Most boy bands have a finite time in the spotlight, said Pearce. In 2016, he quit the Justice Crew to focus on DJing and music production, but the transition from boy band to toddler techno didn't happen overnight. For a time, he worked as a salesperson at an Australian electronic store. 'People were like, 'Aren't you from Justice Crew?'' he said. 'And I'm like, 'Yeah. Now, do you want this lens with that camera?'' In 2022, becoming a dad to his daughter Mila changed the course of his creativity. Pearce started remixing children's songs with 'ravey' music and filming himself dancing with her to the songs. Soon, other parents started sharing videos of their kids dancing to his songs, too. In this way, social media allows for ideas to be refined until something sticks. In March, Pearce released his first solo album aptly titled, 'Toddler Techno.' All along the way, he imagined playing these songs at mini raves. For this generation of kids and their millennial parents, it's not a stretch, said Pearce. Pretend DJ tables are just as commonly sold in toy aisles as construction trucks. In the fall, Pearce and his baby raves will return to the U.S. — and, yes, to L.A. — in a 30-city tour. As a solo artist, he's done what he couldn't do in a band — he's broken through to the U.S. and international audiences. 'It's funny, isn't it?' said Pearce. 'I always felt like I had something to say, but no one really listened.' The roots of techno — in Detroit or Berlin depending on whom you talk to — were always antiestablishment, said Ambrus Deak, program manager of music production at the Los Angeles Film School. 'It was exploratory,' said Deak, a longtime DJ who went by DJ AMB, about techno. Toddler techno plays with that contrast — an edgy genre made safe for kids. Deak would not attend a baby rave — 'It would be very cringe for me,' he said — but sees the appeal. 'I can definitely see a lot of people being into it,' said Deak, 48. Still, not everyone is sold on the idea of taking kids to a rave — even one held in the middle of the day with a face-painting station. In the comments of Pearce's social media posts, parents occasionally debate the appropriateness of exposing kids to drug-addled rave culture. 'I know that most people would say, 'Is this the image we want to teach our kids?'' said Pearce. 'What image are you imagining? Because if you think about it, they're just kids with light sticks, right?' He gets the concern, but kids don't know about the darker sides of raves unless they are taught. And that's not what his baby raves are about. In the right dose, some experts say techno music and baby raves can be beneficial for kids and parents. 'Parents' happiness and stress regulation also matter,' said Jenna Marcovitz, director of the UCLA Health Music Therapy program. 'Techno can promote oxytocin and boost endorphins. It can encourage joy and play and really support brain development, emotional regulation and really enhance the parent-child bond as well.' At the Roxy, one man vigorously pumped his fist to the beat of the music. 'Fist pump like this!' he shouted to the child on his shoulders. Both fists — little and big — jabbed the air. Everything — especially baby raves — should be enjoyed in moderation. The pulsating music, giant inflatables tossed into the crowd and sudden blasts of fog can overstimulate kids. For the roughly one-hour show, the music is loud. Typically set to 85 to 90 decibels, Pearce said. Having a sensory support plan is key, said Marcovitz, who recommends toddlers wear headphones with a noise reduction rating of 20 to 30 decibels or higher — like this one or this one. Practicing dance parties at home, so your child knows what to expect, is also helpful. At the rave, look for signs of overstimulation, which can present differently with each child — some might shut down while others might start shoving each other mosh pit-style. At the Roxy show, one toddler sat down, ate half a bag of Goldfish crackers and poured the rest on the floor. Another disappeared into the crowd for a few alarming moments before being returned by a good Samaritan. 'For any child, I would recommend breaks every 30 minutes,' said Marcovitz. 'Step outside.' Because techno hypes people up — even little kids — it's important to help a child regulate their nervous system back down after the show. 'Lots of cuddles, silence and hugs,' said Marcovitz. Pearce also starts the party late, so the dance party before the rave can tucker kids out before he takes the stage. Ashley and Todd Herles drove from Santa Clarita to the Roxy so their son, Oliver, 3, could meet Pearce before the show. They said they bought $120 VIP tickets, which included a meet and greet and table seats where Oliver got to high-five Kuma, Pearce's dancing sidekick in a turquoise monkey suit. For Pearce's November 23 show at the Novo in downtown Los Angeles, ticket prices currently range from $48 to $195, fees and taxes included. Overall, Oliver loved it — until he didn't. '[The] meltdown happened around 1:40 so we left then,' said Ashley, 40. They had big post-rave plans to refuel with french fries. But Oliver was tired. And, most importantly? 'Our backs hurt,' said Ashley.

Lauren Phillips reveals she suffered a devastating family tragedy: 'You were the best'
Lauren Phillips has revealed she has had to say goodbye to a beloved member of her family. The radio presenter, 41, shared on Instagram on Monday that her dog Roxy had died. The Nova star posted a sweet photo of her beloved dog lying down on a beanbag in their family home. 'Bye bye Roxy Girl. Have fun chasing balls in the big dog park in the sky,' she wrote. 'I'm glad I got out in time to say goodbye to our family doggo. You were the best girl,' Lauren said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The sad news comes after Lauren treated fans to a trip down memory lane last month when she tried on her old school uniform. The Nova 100 host shared a video of herself modelling the purple ensemble, which consisted of a short pleated skirt, shirt and matching blazer. 'Screaming, it actually fits - just,' an amazed Lauren said in the caption, adding, 'Loving myself sick.' The Jase & Lauren show star revealed she had been a prefect and middle school house captain at her old school Wesley College in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley. Posting an image of the blazer and her badges, Lauren said her mother had kept the uniform after 20 years. Lauren's nostalgic post comes amid a planned stunt by the Nova breakfast team to 'relive' their high school years. Nova announced co-host Clint Stanaway will join Lauren and Jason 'Jase' Hawkins as they broadcast their show from a bus travelling the Glenn Waverley area. Along the way, the team planned to stop at Clint's old school Glen Waverley High and Lauren's Wesley College. It continues a 'nostalgic kick' by the Nova breakfast team that began in February when the Jase and Lauren Show Instagram account shared a throwback snap of Lauren. Paying tribute to all the children starting school in 2025, the photo showed the radio star looking unrecognisable in junior school at Wesley. The photo showed Lauren flashing the camera quite the cheeky grin as she posed in her school uniform. The future radio star looked cute-as-a-button in the snap, which also showed her adding a pop of colour to her uniform with a purple scrunchie. It wasn't just Lauren that was given the throwback treatment either, with the account also sharing adorable childhood photos of co-hosts Jase Hawkins and Clint Stanaway.

Could GTA 6 include natural disasters or hurricanes (This trailer 2 hint suggests yes)
GTA 6 is generating buzz with hints of extreme weather events. Trailer details, like a "Hurricane Roxy" sign and a waterspout news headline, suggest hurricanes could feature in the game. While full-scale random hurricanes are unlikely, Rockstar might use scripted storms for intense story missions or unique GTA Online events, creating unforgettable chaos. GTA 6 is shaping up to be the most ambitious Rockstar game yet. With a map set in the Miami-inspired Leonida region, fans are wondering: could hurricanes or other natural disasters be part of the experience? While it may sound like a stretch, there's actually a lot of evidence to suggest Rockstar could be teasing big weather events, possibly even full-scale hurricanes. Trailer Hints Point to Hurricanes The GTA 6 trailer 2 suggests that Hurricanes could very well be a game mechanic (Image via Rockstar Games) Rockstar doesn't place things in their trailers by accident. In Trailer 2 , eagle-eyed fans spotted a wall sign referencing 'Hurricane Roxy' and a flood gauge in the background. These small visual details hint that natural disasters might be more than just aesthetic, possibly real, scripted events in the story. Even more telling? Palm trees in some scenes are staked into the ground, something typically done to prepare for high winds. It may be subtle, but when you add it all up, Rockstar seems to be dropping breadcrumbs that hurricanes could play a role in GTA 6. Oh, and remember that cheeky news headline from Trailer 1? 'Leonida man sucked up in waterspout demands city buy him a new suit.' That's Rockstar humor, sure, but also lowkey a tease. Waterspouts are like mini tornados over water, and that's not something you code into a game for no reason . Rockstar's Been Prepping for This This isn't the first time Rockstar's flirted with natural disasters. Back in the OG Vice City, the story literally starts with a hurricane keeping you locked on one island. They didn't have the tech to render it back then, but they definitely thought about it . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo GTA 6's Storm System Might Be INSANE – Are HURRICANES Coming?! Scripted Storms Over Random Chaos? Rockstar probably won't let a Category 5 hurricane just roll in during a chill session of GTA Online. That would be… a lot . But imagine this instead: You and Lucia are prepping a high-stakes heist. Timing is everything. A storm's rolling in. Streets are flooding, visibility drops, power's out—you ride jet skis through downtown Leonida because the roads are underwater. Insane? Yes. Epic? Also yes. That kind of scripted chaos? 100% Rockstar's vibe. And in GTA Online, a special hurricane event, like snow during Christmas in GTA V, would be awesome. Even smaller hurricanes or tropical storms that knock out power or change the landscape temporarily could shake up missions, give new looting opportunities, or mess with cops' AI. Will hurricanes be part of the regular weather in GTA 6? Probably not. But will Rockstar use one for an unforgettable story mission or Online event? Bet on it. Because if there's one thing we know, it's this: Rockstar doesn't just build cities. They build experiences. And nothing screams next-gen mayhem like outrunning the cops during a hurricane.
