Soap fans watch out, it seems EastEnders is coming to Dartford, or is it?

Images released today show a fictional Dartford East railway station is set to feature in an upcoming storyline between Albert Square characters Roxy Mitchell and Charlie Cotton.

Although east Dartford would place it near villages such as Bean and Swanscombe, the fake station is actually Elstree & Borehamwood more than 20 miles away in Hertfordshire.

And already speculation is hotting up the scenes could centre around Charlie's exit after it was revealed actor Declan Bennett is filming his final scenes with the show.

It appears the Cotton family roots may be steeped in north Kent after it was revealed Charlie's dad Nasty Nick was found dead in Gravesend.

But despite police telling his mum Dot the death was caused by a heroin overdose, the character returned to the Square in a dramatic twist.
