EASTENDERS bosses plan to turn sexy Dawn Swann into the next Pauline Fowler.

The character, played by Kara Tointon, has been such a hit, bosses are keen to cash in by turning her character into a matriarch.

An insider said: “Pauline was quite a catch back in the day. But after years of being downtrodden by her family you wouldn’t have guessed it.

“Kara is one of the soap’s most popular actresses and they want her to stay in the Square for years. So they’re making her the head of her own family.

“Although it’s not a conventional one, it is a true reflection of family life today.

Saucy

“We’ll just have to wait and see whether she’ll start wearing dowdy cardigans like Pauline.”

Actress Kara, 24, joined the soap as saucy Dawn back in 2005. Her character gave birth to daughter Summer last year.

Show bosses were keen to give her a family of her own so they hooked Dawn up with lovable rogue Jase Dyer and his son Jay.

And it was only a matter of time before they were all living together under one roof.

The move also paved the way for executive producer Diederick Santer to axe her screen stepdad Keith Miller and brother Mickey. And with both of them leaving later this year Dawn will finally be at the head of her own family.

Younger brother Darren is planning to stick around – so she will certainly have her work cut out.

The insider added: “It’s going to be an interesting household with Dawn at the head of the family.

“But she’ll be devoted to keeping her family together.”
