EastEnders: Cora’s long lost daughter to arrive on the square

Claire PerkinsEastEnders bosses have confirmed the upcoming arrival of Cora Cross’s long-lost daughter Ava.

As rumoured for a few days, actress Claire Perkins has been cast in the role of Ava, and will make her Walford debut later this year.

Back in July, viewers saw Cora’s daughter Tanya find out about Ava, the sister she never knew she had. However, Cora later told Tanya that Ava tragically died just after being born.

Upcoming EastEnders episodes will see the revelation that Ava is in fact alive and well, which is likely to cause shockwaves on Albert Square.

Firm details on how Ava makes her entrance and how Cora and Tanya will react are still being kept under wraps.
