Claudette Hubbard has been billed as "Walford's steely matriarch with many ties to Albert Square's residents" - and we know that she has a long-standing feud with the Mitchell family.

As fans of the soap will know, Claudette (Ellen Thomas) has confessed to murdering her husband - and Vincent’s father - Henry.

Yup, after Vincent (Richard Blackwood) discovered a never before seen picture of his dad with Eric Mitchell, the cat was out of the bag.

An emotional Claudette was finally forced to admit that it was her who murdered Henry, after they had a MAMMOTH argument when he failed to get money from the Mitchell clan.

After pushing her hubby to his death, Claudette buried him – and then, because she’s a woman who doesn’t like loose ends, she set about framing Eric for his murder.

Why Eric? Because she was jealous of the fact that he wouldn’t leave Peggy (Barbara Windsor) for her.

Yup, she was having an affair with Eric.

Does this mean that Vincent is actually a Mitchell?

One user tweeted: "Claudette used to get around so maybe Vincent's dad Henry ain't his father after all ??"

If so, it would make sense for the upcoming storylines.

Check it out…

WHY DID CLAUDETTE REALLY KILL HENRY?

Oh yes, we know she SAID it was about the money - but she also killed Fatboy, so we don’t trust that woman one little bit.

It makes sense that their argument was about something more than just money… could it have been about Vincent’s true father?

GRANT AND SAM MITCHELL ARE RETURNING TO EASTENDERS

Vincent wouldn’t just be Phil’s half-brother - he would also be related to Grant (Ross Kemp) and Sam Mitchell (Danniella Westbrook), too. And we already know that the duo are set to return to Albert Square very soon.

Speaking about his comeback, Ross said: "When I was approached about returning to EastEnders for Barbara’s final episodes, it was something I could not turn down.

"Barbara is a very close friend so when I learned of the storyline, it felt right that the Mitchell brothers are reunited with their mother for the last time.

"I am really looking forward to going back to EastEnders and filming what are set to be some classic EastEnders episodes.”

Danniella added: "I’m really excited to be going back to ­EastEnders."

"It feels right the ­Mitchells are all back for Peggy’s funeral, and I can’t wait to work alongside everyone again."

PHIL MITCHELL NEEDS A DONOR

While we suspected that Peggy might be the one to donate her liver to her dying son, there’s a possibility that Vincent could be a match - and he doesn’t need to dish out his WHOLE liver, after all.

It would save Phil from dying - and it would link the Hubbard and Mitchell clans forever.

PEGGY MITCHELL IS DYING

It wouldn’t be a true EastEnders death without an unexpected family member popping out of the woodwork now, would it?

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE FOR THE HUBBARD FAMILY

Richard Blackwood said: "Vincent is surprised. Even though you, as a viewer, can look at Claudette and see there's more to her than meets the eye, when it comes to Vincent, he only sees the good.

"He does everything that his mum tells him to do because he believes, at the end of the day, it is right. He never doubts his mum, even if others do. He stands by her.

“But what he finds out sends him on a big 180. It makes him truly question if anything in his life was ever true."

ELLEN THOMAS TEASED A PEGGY MITCHELL / CLAUDETTE HUBBARD CROSSOVER

Ellen was speaking with the Daily Star about her character’s role as a foster mother, teasing the fact that many of Claudette’s former foster children will be returning to the show.

But, when asked if Claudette could be compared to famous EastEnders matriarch Peggy Mitchell, Ellen said: "That's what we're thinking - let's wait and see!"

Hmm.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

It’s a bit of a bonkers theory, but it’s one we could definitely get on board with.

However it would mean that Vincent’s illicit affair with Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) had just a touch of incest to it…

Do you think that Vincent Hubbard and Phil Mitchell are brothers?
