EastEnders attempted to clear up confusion over the fate of a missing character in last night’s episode but the answer has left fans with even more questions.
Viewers have been asking why Michelle Fowler hasn’t been seen around Albert Square recently and have wondered if she’s been quietly written out.
The last big storyline for the former teacher was when she got her revenge on stalker Tom with the help of Denise, Karen and Sharon in early November.
She hasn’t been around as her brother Martin has welcomed new baby Hope home, or been there to support her cousin Ian as he faces losing the Cafe so soon after step-son Steven’s death and his wife Jane’s departure.
Now the show have offered an explanation about Michelle’s sudden disappearance as her best friend Sharon casually dropped her into the conversation when she was helping Linda Carter pack to leave The Vic in the New Year.
“Did I tell you Michelle’s going to Australia for Christmas? Her daughter lives out there,” she said.
An unimpressed Linda replied: “Barbie on the beach? Not my idea of Christmas.”
