EastEnders fans have branded 10-year-old Bailey Baker ‘the most mature’ character in the soap after she gave Isaac advice.
Bailey arrived in Albert Square last year and during her short time on the show, she has already been dealt a lot of heartbreak.
But going through so much has clearly made her a wise young girl.
In last night’s episode of the show (Monday, May 18) Bailey found her teacher Isaac drinking on a bench in Albert Square, when he was meant to be off work sick.
Isaac ended up opening up about his dad and admitted to Bailey he discovered the man he thought was his father, wasn’t his biological dad.
But Bailey told Isaac that he had all those years with his father.
When Isaac admitted it was a shock finding out he has two dads, Bailey used her own experience with her late biological mum Dinah and Karen, who has taken care of Bailey since Dinah’s death.
She said: “I like having two mums… When mum died, I got Karen. A second mum. And now you’ve got two dads. So like I said, lucky you.”
Fans were impressed by Bailey’s ability to give such good advice and branded her the ‘most mature’ character on the show.
Bailey is probably the most mature person in #EastEnders

"I'm the adult, You're the kid!" – I take it you haven't met Bailey, Issac. She's the only sensible one on the Square! #EastEnders
