Why does amy in eastenders never speak

Never say never, I really enjoyed my time there. Linzi made quite an impact on the Square as she started a relationship with year-old mechanic Jay Brown, only for him to discover that Linzi was an underage schoolgirl. Somebody else who made a big impression as part of the storyline was actress Lorraine Stanley, who played Linzi's furious mum Thelma for a handful of episodes.

Lorraine was later recast as current character Karen Taylor and is now enjoying juicy storylines, and Safe star Amy-Leigh couldn't be happier about it. She's fab, she really is. She is great. She starts becoming disruptive at school and does not want Jack to be her dad anymore. Amy cheers up a bit and makes Jack a Father's Day card. On the day of their funeral, a song is played in the church, which was Ronnie and Roxy's favourite - leaving Amy happy as she hugs her dad. Everyone lights up their glow sticks and dance to the song.

Jack then hires a nanny, Ingrid , to look after the children. Amy and Ricky spray her with a water gun, and later Ricky accidentally gets gum in Amy's hair, but the nanny gets it out with peanut butter. However, Ian only invited Mel as he hopes to tell her that he still has feelings, but instead, Ian is left to look after a hyper Amy while Jack and Mel go on their date. Amy is then left with Mel while Jack goes to pick up Ricky from his football class as he has twisted his ankle.

Mel and Amy do each other's makeup, and Amy tells Mel that her dad doesn't like her wearing makeup. Mel replies, telling Amy that her dad doesn't know girls, and Amy laughs. Amy then tells Mel that her mother used to do her makeup before she died. Mel then starts to get uncomfortable when Amy asks her if she loves her dad as her Ronnie did, Mel is left speechless when Amy then asks her if she is going to be her new mum.

Mel then stops playing with Amy and tells her that her dad is right; she's too young for makeup. When Jack returns with Ricky to pick up Amy, he can tell that something is not right with Mel and asks her if Amy has been misbehaving, but Mel tells Jack to take the children home as Ricky needs to rest his foot.

In September , Amy caught Jack kissing her uncle Max's wife Rainie and records them on her tablet. Later that day, a social worker arrives at the house to speak to the family about Max and Rainie getting custody of Max's granddaughter Abi. The social worker asks to talk to Amy and Ricky alone and asks the children how they would feel about Abi coming to live with them and what they know about babies.

The children tell him what they know, and Amy points out the fact that you need to love babies just like girls love her fathers and love to kiss him. She then carries on saying that her Rainie loves to kiss as well. However, the social worker assumes that Amy means that Max and Rainie kiss all the time and tells her that this is a very loving house.

Once the social worker goes home, Jack tells Amy she did an excellent job, and he is proud of her. Later that night, Amy gets out her tablet and watches the video of Jack and Rainie kissing with an evil grin on her face - just like her mum would've done.

However, everyone is left confused as Amy has gone missing. It turns out Sean had returned to Walford to see Roxy and Amy. Sean tells Amy that Roxy had sent him. When Amy asks Sean who he is, he tells her that he is a friend of her mother's. Amy asks Sean questions about Roxy, and Sean tells Amy that she looks exactly like her, unknown to Sean that Roxy had died two years previously. When Amy demands to go home, Sean tells her that he lost a little girl who would have been Amy's age, unknown to Amy, that the little girl Sean lost was her.

He then goes on to tell her that she can't let anyone tell her what to do in life. After a while, Sean returns Amy home as she runs to Jack. Jack tells Amy to go and see Max at the car lot while he talks to Sean. Jack then punches Sean and tells him to stay away from his daughter. Sean demands Jack to take him to Roxy. Jack then realizes that Sean doesn't know she is dead and takes him to her grave. The pair fight, as Jack explains about Ronnie and Roxy's death. A parent should be honest and open, using age appropriate language and manner, allowing the child to understand and grieve fully.

Jack's struggles were sensitively balanced with follow-up scenes in Thursday night's hour-long episode , which saw Dot Branning manage to get through to Amy and Ricky with a more honest approach.
