EastEnders fans fear ‘controversial incest’ storyline on programme

James Dawson

Surely they wouldn’t air this before the watershed.

Mel Owen returned to Albert Square recently and it’s safe to say that viewers were over the moon about her reappearance.

She’s come back with her on-screen son, Hunter Owen, who seems to have struck up something of a romance with Louise Mitchell.

Here’s the thing though, even though Hunter’s dad is meant to be Steve (played by Spandau Ballet’s very own Martin Kemp), viewers have a few question marks about whether his father really was Steve.

See, Mel also had a thing with Phil back in the day and a lot of viewers online reckon that his true father is in fact, Phil Mitchell.

Which in turn would make him Louise’s half-sister and that could mean big trouble for any potential romance between the pair. As fans have been pointing out online.
