EASTENDERS' star Steve McFadden cuddles his newborn daughter and beams: "She's my little sweetheart."
The Albert Square hardman fought back tears as he showed off six-week-old Mollie and confirmed for the first time that he IS her dad.
Steve, who plays Walford's Phil Mitchell, has healed his rift with ex-partner Angie Bostock, 27, and is besotted with their second daughter - a sister to Teona, six.
As he took her for a day out in the sun Steve, 44, said: "Mollie is absolutely beautiful - a real sweetie. I can't stop cuddling her.
"When Teona was born I was so emotional and overwhelmed that I thought I'd never experience anything like it again.
"But when I saw Mollie it all came rushing back and I just filled up...I felt such love for her.
"She is gorgeous...so tiny and vulnerable, but you can already see she's got her own personality. I just hope she doesn't have my looks!
"When they are that small you feel very protective and just want to watch them all the time - even when they are asleep.
"I have always loved kids and everyone loves new-born babies, don't they?"
Steve is taking a year's break from the hit BBC1 soap. And at the moment the only thing on his mind is getting to know his beautiful baby girl - and watching her bond with her big sister.
As he lifted Mollie high in the air Steve said: "The only problem is Angie or me getting a look-in when Teona is around!
"She is absolutely besotted with Mollie and wants to do everything for her. Watching Teona's face when she first saw her was one of the best moments of my life.
"She calls her 'My Mollie' and keeps giving her big wet kisses.
"Angie is a great mum and Mollie is a calm, smiley baby."
Steve proved he's a hands-on dad as he gave Mollie her bottle and changed her.
He said: "I haven't lost my touch when it comes to changing nappies and feeding her - and I'm pretty good at bringing up wind too!
"Now if I only can get Mollie to do it - ha ha!
"She's perfect - and I will always be there for her."
Ik vind dat ze Louise nu echt de laan uit moeten sturen. Alleen dat kan EastEnders weer het juweeltje van de Beeb worden. Sommige verhaallijnen slaan gewoon echt nergens op zoals dat gedoe rondom de Ferreiras, en dat achterlijke jong van een Spencer en zijn avonturenquote:EastEnders' hits "lowest ever ratings
EastEnders hit what could possibly be its lowest audience ever last night (Tuesday), early ratings figures indicate.
According to the data, the 7.30pm edition of the soap averaged just 6.4 million viewers and a 34% share of the audience, around half than would normally be expected. Ratings were down across the board last night due to the unusually hot weather but crucially, EastEnders was down by 20 percentage points from its regular 55% audience share. It also lost out to an enlongated episode of Emmerdale on ITV1, which averaged 7.6 million viewers between 7pm and 8pm.
A BBC spokeswoman said that the corporation wasn't "particularly worried" about the figures: "In terms of share, it was very healthy with 34%, which is a third of TV viewers. Our audience was split with Emmerdale. The weather was also very nice and if you look at the other programmes all shares were down because it was a sunny evening. We know our viewers know that there's another chance to catch up with the omnibus at the weekend so we're not particularly worried."
Today's news is just the latest in a line of disappointments for the soap. Earlier this year it missed nomination at the prestigious BAFTA award ceremony for the first time ever, and in more recent weeks it has been rocked by allegations about top star Leslie Grantham. There has also been much criticism of the shift towards more sensational storylines, including rape, gangland shootings, robbery, murder and extortion.
Many of the cast have also left or been sacked in the past year: Charlie Brooks (Janine Evans), Shaun Williamson (Barry Evans), Todd Carty (Mark Fowler), Lucy Benjamin (Lisa Fowler), Elaine Lordan (Lynne Hobbs), Hannah Waterman (Laura Beale), Sid Owen (Ricky Butcher), Lucy Speed (Natalie Evans) and Tony Caunter (Roy Evans). Other favourites including Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell), Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell) and Kacey Ainsworth (Little Mo) are on extended absence.
By contrast, ITV rival Coronation Street has gone from strength to strength, with a series of character-based storylines drawing in huge audiences over the past year.
The continued misfortune of EastEnders puts further pressure on exec producer Louise Berridge, who has already received calls to quit the post.
Nou ja, haar contract is niet vernieuwd hoor. Volgens mij zijn haar laatste scènes al gefilmd.quote:Op zaterdag 22 mei 2004 20:06 schreef Suko het volgende:

Dus Lynne (Elaine Lordan) zuipt terwijl ze echt zwanger is??? Vind ik een vorm van kindermishandeling, dat de BeeB geen maatregelen neemt of dat er geen protesten zijn, vreemd.![]()
bronquote:Elaine: Stranger hit me as I tidied broken glass
PREGNANT EastEnders star Elaine Lordan was beaten up in a drunken pub brawl.
Elaine, 37 — axed from the soap over her boozing — picked fights with two men then scrapped with a woman while celebrating Arsenal’s Premiership triumph in London on Sunday.
Police were called after the Gunners fan — Slater sister Lynne Hobbs on TV — wound up with a cut lip.
But last night Elaine insisted she was the victim of an unprovoked attack.
She said: “This girl was boasting, ‘I’ve beaten up Lynne Slater off the telly’.”
Three-months-pregnant Elaine pointed to a cut lip as she described the fight with a woman.
She said: “There were children crawling around among broken glass. I simply picked it up and this girl did this to me.
“I’d never met her in my life. She slapped me across the head. She had a ring on, which cut my lip. She knocked me to the ground.
“She was boasting, saying, ‘I’ve beaten up Lynne Slater off the telly’.”
Trouble flared as Elaine watched Sunday’s victory parade by unbeaten Premiership champions Arsenal.
Gunners fan Elaine, who plays married Slater sister Lynne Hobbs, started drinking at 11.30am with boyfriend Pete Manuel near her home in Islington, North London.
She is said to have become abusive as she swigged pints of lager at the Highbury Barn pub, a haunt of Arsenal fans.
A secretary who saw the amazing scenes said: “She was looking for trouble from the moment she arrived and was trying to pick fights.
“First she punched a man in the chest. Then she picked a fight with a guy filming the procession and swore at him.
“The more she drank the more abusive she became. Her boyfriend was trying to calm her down.
“But then she snatched an Arsenal flag off a little boy and started parading up and down with it.
“The boy was upset and his mother tried to grab it back.
"A scuffle broke out and Lordan threw a punch. But the other woman had the measure of her and they ended up rolling around on the floor.
“She had a cut 1½ins long on her lip and a bruised eye. She was definitely to blame.”
Police confirmed they were called to the pub and a 37-year-old woman made an allegation of assault. No one was charged.
TV bosses failed to renew Elaine’s contract after a string of drink-related incidents and she leaves EastEnders in the summer.
She was banned for drink driving last year.

ELAINE Lordan’s pub brawl erupted after the pregnant EastEnders actress drunkenly spilled booze over a baby, it was claimed yesterday.
Dad Derek Dillon, whose girlfriend ended up grappling with the star, raged: “Elaine was so drunk she fell over and crashed into the pram.
“There was beer and bottles all over my screaming baby.”
The Sun told yesterday how three-months-pregnant Elaine, 37, was left with a cut lip after the fight.
Police were called to the Highbury Barn pub in North London, where drinkers had packed benches outside to make the most of the sunshine.
Elaine — who plays married Slater sister Lynne Hobbs on TV — accused Mr Dillon’s girlfriend of assault.
But dad-of-five Mr Dillon, 39, insisted it was the actress who lashed out first.
Arsenal supporter Elaine had got sloshed as she and boyfriend Pete Manuel celebrated the Premiership champions’ victory parade on Sunday.
The Highbury Barn — near Elaine’s Islington home — is a fans’ haunt.
Fellow drinkers told how Elaine spent hours guzzling vodka alcopops and lager — then ended up crawling under benches.
She emerged with a collection of bottles and cans — and is said to have stumbled as she tried to put them in a bin.
Builder Mr Dillon, who refused to reveal his girlfriend’s name, said: “They went flying over my baby’s pram. Drink went all over my five-month-old girl.
“I said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘I’m clearing up your f****** mess.’ I’d heard she was leaving EastEnders so I asked if this was her new job. She just screamed, ‘F*** off home’.”
Mr Dillon, whose four other young daughters were with him, said he calmed her — but she twice came back to confront the family with a torrent of abuse.
The dad said: “She lashed out with her arm towards my girlfriend’s face. About 100 people were watching. They pointed at Lordan, shouting, “Off, off, off” — like she was going to be sent off in a football match.”
Arsenal fan Anthony Preddie, 32, said Elaine repeatedly tried to grab a camcorder he had used to film celebrations.
He saw the actress brawling with a woman and yelling: “Do you know who the f*** I am?”
Mr Preddie added: “Her behaviour was disgusting.”
A barman said of the actress, who has been axed from EastEnders over her boozing: “She was plastered.” Police are investigating Elaine’s assault complaint.
Last night the star’s spokesman refused to comment.
But an EastEnders source said: “Elaine’s actions have just left everyone gobsmacked. We have told her agent she needs to go into rehab.”
bronquote:Elaine driven to drink
PREGNANT EastEnders star Elaine Lordan cheers herself up yesterday over reports of her drunkenness — by jumping in the car and driving to her local off licence.
But Lordan, 37, had clearly taken to heart The Sun’s advice about cutting back on the booze because she left the shop in Highbury, North London, empty-handed.
We told on Tuesday how Lordan — who plays married Slater sister Lynne Hobbs in the soap — got a cut lip after brawling drunkenly with another woman at a party to celebrate Arsenal’s Premiership triumph.

TELLY heart-throb NIGEL HARMAN has knocked back a £2million recording contract.
The EastEnders star, who plays Dennis Rickman, got the offer from Sony.
Nigel, a trained singer, politely turned it down saying he doesn’t want to become “WILL YOUNG for grannies”.
Bosses at the recording giant felt Nigel’s popularity in EastEnders would score him instant chart success with a generation of fans hooked on the soap.
Nigel has appeared in a number of stage musicals.
He impressed London audiences in the shows Mamma Mia and Privates On Parade.
But the chance to sing full time was not enough to lure him away from Walford — yet.
Nigel told me: “I was offered a deal by Sony for a single and an album but I turned it down.
“I said, ‘It’s very kind of you, but no thanks.’
“I think they would have tried to turn me into Will Young for grannies. But I admit there’s a part of me that would love to front a band. Standing in front of guitars and drums would be a buzz.”
Sony chiefs could see Nigel as another NICK BERRY, who played charmer Simon “Wicksy” Wicks in the mid-Eighties.
In 1986 Nick got a No1 with Every Loser Wins.
But his only other hit was the 1992 No2 Heartbeat when he starred in the nostalgic cop show.
A Sony insider told me: “Nigel has got a great voice and great potential to be a big-selling artist. And he wouldn’t have to spend a lot of promotional time getting his face recognised. He is already one of the most famous faces in Britain so people would take to him instantly.
“It also helps that he’s the most fancied bloke in EastEnders.
“He could easily be the next Nick Berry and probably bigger. It’s a shame he’s knocked us back but we respect his decision.
“Maybe in a couple of years he’ll reconsider.”
EastEnders stars have a mixed track record when it comes to branching out into pop.
Below we show how they got on.
