Eastenders: 25 August 2009

Only seconds after Gary punched Phil, and after the credits started rolling, we find out that Gary (or rather the guy who plays him) is going to be in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. So the question is, does Gary leave the soap the usual way, in a taxi, or, more likely considering he has just hit Phil, in an ambulance? I hope it is the former as actors from Eastenders don't tend to last long when it comes to Strictly  - remember Phil Daniels, Gillian Taylforth and probably lots more - and will need to be back by October at the latest.
