Is Danny Dyer getting his own EastEnders spin-off?

Former EastEnders showrunner Dominic Treadwell-Collins has backed a spin-off with Walford favourite Danny Dyer as the star of the show.

The 39-year old actor recently took time off from the BBC One show to recharge his batteries but it seems he could branch out of Albert Square altogether if he wanted to.

It’s former executive producer quit EastEnders in 2016 to work on spin-off soap Redwater and ahead of it’s debut on Thursday, he said Kat and Alfie aren’t the only residents of Walford who could hold their own series.

Dominic told Huffington Post: “You can take these characters who are so loved and put them in a whole new world and I don’t think you could do that with a lot of soap characters.

“Shane and Jessie, and Kat and Alfie, are so beloved by the nation so it felt right to do it with them. It’s still a big risk, and it takes the first 10 minutes or so (to get used to it).”

“There aren’t many. I’ve always thought Mick and Linda in EastEnders.

“I could watch them for ages but it’s because they’re based on my mum and dad, so I’ve got a lot of stories there.”

This could totally happen if the price is right and Danny is able to convince his on-screen wife Kellie Bright to jump ship.
