EastEnders fans are convinced Dotty Branning is secretly bisexual.
Dot’s granddaughter returned to Walford last month with the new multi-millionaire and has since clashed with almost everyone in the house.
But fans think she will end up being the bisexual character teased by soap bosses earlier this year.
Writing on WalfordWeb one said: “I’m thinking Dotty.”
A second said: “I’m thinking it will be Dotty too and she will go for Bernadette…but perhaps just wind up Tiffany.”

Another added: “I can see it being Dotty, she’ll get with Bernadette and it’ll probably cause tiff to grow jealous/annoyed over seeing her childhood enemy with her best friend.”
Story editor Ben Wadey teased the newcomer on Twitter after praising the reaction to the soap’s increased push towards diversity.
He tweeted: “Been great to see all the positive reaction to LGBTQ+ representation on EastEnders recently, and excited for us to have a new B in the show soon.”
At the time fans were delighted by the news and flocked to thank Ben for telling them what was coming.
One said: “FINALLY! That’s great news! #EastEnders #Bisexual #BisexualsDeserveRepresentation”
Another said: “Thank you so much for showing the importance of the LGBTQ+ ❤️, it really shows that Eastenders is a very respectful soap 💞xx”
A third said: “Here we go, more teasing😂😂😂 Not sure I can take anymore. But when you tease its for a good reason, it’s always worth watching.”

The show was dogged for years about its LGBT representation with only two characters on the show – Sonia and Tina – shown to be part of the community.
However they were both shown to sleep with men rather than women leading to claims of gay-washing from viewers.
But since Kate Oates has taken over she has rapidly increased diversity on the show.
Now there are Ben Mitchell, Callum Highway, Iqra Ahmed and her girlfriend Ash and Bernie Taylor all representing the community.
Could Dotty be joining them?
