MONTHS after their breakup, some fans may be desperate to see Dana Monroe and Bobby Beale patch things up.
Sadly for them, EastEnders star Barbara Smith has teased her character will move on to Peter Beale instead.
For several weeks, Dana and reformed troublemaker Bobby Beale (portrayed by Clay Milner Russell) shared a relationship, which was only sabotaged by the former’s older Nazi brother Aaron.
Since then, and notably after a pregnancy scare, things have remained awkward between both characters, just as fans are hopeful to see them mend their relationship.
But their disappointment is palpable as Dana is set to turn her sights to another Albert Square resident, who just happens to be very close to Bobby.
Dana will ignore every red flag in sight and embark on a potential connection with Bobby’s own brother Peter Beale (played by Dayle Hudson).

EastEnders fans baffled as Janine makes huge blunder in framing Linda
Soap star Barbara Smith doesn’t hold out much hope and knows only too well that BBC One viewers will be fuming to see Dana and Peter grow close.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the 25-year-old actress said: “Oh I think they’ll absolutely hate it!”
“They’re very invested in Dana and Bobby and Peter Beale isn’t the nicest character on the show, I don’t think he’s very well loved!”
She added: “I think they’ll hate it but they might love to hate it.”
Although her on-screen alter ego will jump head first into Peter’s arms, Barbara Smith knows she should actually be staying away from him.
When pondering on her character’s feelings, Barbara said: “If I was Dana’s friend, I’d say to her stay right away.”
“Because Dana is naïve and innocent, I think she wants something a bit exciting and forbidden, I don’t think she really sees it lasting with Peter either. But that won’t stop her!”
