Script snippet revealed EastEnders


There is growing assumption about the sex and name of Heather's EastEnders baby, following a chink online.


Heather, played by Cheryl Fergison, at a time seven months pregnant by an unknown man in the soap and is due to give birth almost the end of October.


However, there is now some confusion over the details of her unborn child.

Recently, Heather was informed at her scan that she was assumeing a baby girl and she then began mulling over another girls names such as Holly, after her grandmother.


However according to Digital Spy, a script snippet from an episode at the beginning of November currently acted on the show's official website, seemingly revealing that Heather's baby is, in fact, a boy.


Blatanly she will call the baby George, after her idol George Michael.


According to Digital Spy a show source said: "There's been so much secrecy surrounding the Heather storyline, to the extent that all of the penmanship have either been reviewed or doctored.


"The baby's father's called George in all the scripts, so there's a wonder chance that they could be doing this with the baby as well."


"It's definitely causing a lot of action but only a handful of people know the actual story..."


Betting has opened on the 'Who's the Daddy?' with Heather's ex-husband Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) 2/1 favourite.

GOOD 'EVANS - IT'S WOODSTOCK


Richard Havers and legendary 'Oo artist Richard Evans, who was the visual designer of thewho.com, have compiled a book on Woodstock, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. There are 256 pages plus over 200 photographs & Images. It's out now and you can get it from Amazon and all good bookshops.

15 – 18 August 1969 – according to the song the people were half a million strong by the time they got to Woodstock. But in reality no one ever did get to Woodstock. Instead they made it to some alfalfa fields near Bethel – population 3,900 – a hundred miles north of New York City and 60 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock. The Aquarian Music and Art Fair was held at Max Yasgur’s farm in White Lake.

No one among the 500,000 people could have had any idea of just how important the festival would turn out to be. Given the size of the crowd it was all extremely peaceful, especially considering what they had to endure. There were rainstorms, people waited for long periods for something to happen; they also ran short of food, and water, but there seemed to be no shortage of drugs.

Woodstock was a cultural landmark waiting to happen. Ever afterwards people have tried to emulate it; just a few months later at another festival at Altamont Racetrack, near San Francisco it tragically ended with murder and the death of the 60’s dream. It just proves how thin the line between glory and failure can be. At Woodstock nobody kept notes, maybe because no one thought it was that important. It’s only as the telescope of history has gradually been extended that the cultural significance of the 3 days of peace and love has truly been recognised.

Woodstock tells the story of everything that made up that momentous August weekend. From Jimi Hendrix to Janis Joplin,The Who to Joan Baez and Crosby Stills Nash & Young to Joe Cocker. But Woodstock does much more than focus on the 60 odd hours during which events played out. It traces the history of every band that performed, what they performed, how they came to be there, and what effect it had on the careers. The book reveals how it all came to be, as well Woodstock’s lasting legacy.

Whoever it was that coined the phrase – ‘The Woodstock Nation’ – created the zeitgeist. It’s what spawned the ‘Woodstock Generation’. From the day that the festival ended until now, and probably forever, we keep polishing it, perpetuating the myth and reveling in the magic.
