Yahoo News EastEnders' Tilly Keeper wants to stay in Walford
Her on-screen half-brother might be leaving Walford behind, but EastEnders actress Tilly Keeper doesn't want to see Louise Mitchell follow in Ben's footsteps anytime soon.
Following 'Enders bosses' controversial decision to axe Harry Reid from the soap, Tilly has spoken out about her future on Albert Square – and she's feeling positive, fortunately.
Chatting to The Sun, Tilly admitted that while she'll "miss" her brother from another mother, she's happy to stay on without him.

"I want to stay at EastEnders for as long as I can," she said. "As long as they're happy and they want me, I will stay."
Of course, this is EastEnders we're talking about, so anything could happen – something Tilly is more than aware of: "I don't know what is going on but I really want to stay," she added.
Other high-profile characters leaving Albert Square over the coming weeks and months include Lauren and Abi Branning (Jacqueline Jossa and Lorna Fitzgerald) and Fi Browning (Lisa Faulkner).
The news of Harry's exit didn't go down too well with fans, who were gutted to see the fan-favourite leave the soap with so much potential drama still ahead of him.
A whopping 80% of Digital Spy readers thought it was the wrong decision by bosses to get rid of Phil Mitchell's son – and one fan even started a petition to bring Ben back.
Don't mess with the Mitchells, or their fans.
EastEnders airs on BBC One.
