David Essex is to hook up with Carol Jackson soon after arriving in Albert Square.
The singer, 63 - who made his EastEnders entrance on Friday as Alfie Moon's uncle Eddie - has as an instant connection with Carol (Lindsey Coulson).
Eddie becomes the hero of the hour when he drags Roxy Mitchell's little daughter Amy out of the way of Carol's car - and later gets chatting to the cafe manager.
The pair realise there's chemistry between them, and after weeks of flirting they share a tender kiss.
A soap insider told TV Biz: "Eddie and Carol have a spark and she is delighted when he makes a move on her.
"The attraction is there but they both have too much on their plates to start a proper relationship for now.
"Eddie is desperate to build bridges with his estranged son Michael, although he's not interested in forgiving what's happened between them in the past and tries to pay him off to leave Walford.
"Carol's also got a lot on her mind with her dad Jim going into an old people's home, but there's every chance that things will develop."
