Eastenders...... Apologies If I've Missed The Obvious

Latest storyline - Michelle Fowler who moved to the US years ago and had this child /boy who has now turned up in Albert square for a 'visit'. If he's lived in the US since birth then why does he have a perfect British accent?

[Old_Geezer]

Probably lived in a British ghetto in the US all his life.

My 30 yr old daughter born and bred in Spain speaks English perfectly well but mispronounces some words and some are spoken as a foreigner! But that of course is two different languages, not American and English.

[Smowball]

Yes I know it's just a soap but..,,,,,lol

[ummmm]

It is strange.

Did Michelle settle on the eastern seaboard maybe Boston ? Quite anglicised

[pastafreak]

The native Boston accent is said to be close the what the early colonists spoke. Not sure it would sound like a 'perfect' British accent' though.

Am I right in thinking his father is Grant Mitchell, who is also the father of Courtney and will they end up in a relationship till someone tells Grant he is his father?

[chelle7272]

Sounds about right Lankeela!

Wiki says she moved to Alabama, but the BBC page says she lives in Florida...

They mentioned it tonight, it's Florida.
