We hope you like the Carter's . . .

Because Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright who play Mick and Linda Carter, Maddy Hill and Danny-Boy Hatchard who play Nancy and Lee Carter have all signed up for at least one more year!

Speaking to the Daily Star, Danny-Boy said: "We're going to be doing another year. I'm excited about it.

"It's a big shame that Sam Strike [Johnny] left – that left a big gap in the family. But we've got even closer recently.

"And with another year together it'll mean we can bring more drama to the show."

The Carters have helped to boost ratings on the BBC One soap with their emotional story lines.

Since turning up in Walford on Christmas Day 2013, they've come to terms with Johnny's sexuality, faced the horror of Linda's rape and dealt with Mick's sister Shirley [Linda Henry] being revealed as his mother.
