Eddie Santini is a fictional police officer in the long running ITV drama The Bill. He was played by Michael Higgs from 1998 to 2000.

Sun Hill

Santini arrives at Sun Hill after being denied a position in CID with the crime squad, being deemed untrustworthy by his superiors.[1] His tendency to disregard the rules continues at Sun Hill, however. His sense of humour makes him relatively popular with the relief and his Italian looks are especially popular with female officers.

Declining popularity

Eddie's popularity declines somewhat after being placed on an undercover operation with PC Rosie Fox. His persistent advances towards her lead to him almost raping her. Following this, he ultimately forces Rosie to transfer from Sun Hill, spreading lies and making malicious phone calls to her.[1]

Final episodes

His bullying does not stop there, however, and he is soon recognised as a problem at the station. His involvement in a drug operation leads to his ex-girlfriend's death[1] and the incident is then investigated by Rosie, who has been promoted to Detective Sergeant in her absence from Sun Hill. Her investigation leads to Eddie's trial because his involvement was uncovered, but he is found not guilty. He becomes a witness in the trial of a high profile villain and is subsequently shot in his home. (It was never revealed that he actually died from the shooting), although it is assumed that he did.
