Clare Perkins joins EastEnders
Clare Perkins is set to join the EastEnders cast later this year as Cora's long lost daughter Ava. Her arrival into The Square is sure to come as a massive shock to Tanya, as Cora told her that Ava had died shortly after she was born!

When asked about her feelings on joining EastEnders, Clare has said, "I am delighted to be joining the show but to be working alongside Ann Mitchell makes it a dream come true. I have admired Ann's work for many years, and both she and Jo (Joyner) have been a real pleasure to work with. I'm now looking forward to see what the writers have in store for Ava".
Details of Ava's entrance are being kept top secret... will it be happy families in Walford? We doubt it!
