Hannah Waterman-Groves (born 22 July 1975) is an English actress, daughter of Minder star Dennis Waterman and his second wife, actress Patricia Maynard.

A former pupil of Norwich High School for Girls and St. Felix School, Southwold and Putney High School, and a graduate of the University of Warwick, Waterman joined the cast of BBC soap opera EastEnders as Laura Dunn in February 2000 and left the show in 2004. Before playing Laura, she appeared as a HIV patient in 1997. Her character became the third wife of Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) but the marriage was not a happy one as the paternity of Laura's son Bobby was disputed. Laura died after falling down the stairs in her flat after tripping over a toy when going to answer the door. Janine Butcher (played by Charlie Brooks) was wrongly accused of murdering her after a receipt was found in Laura's flat following a bust-up. Waterman's mother Patricia Maynard played Laura's mother in EastEnders for a couple of episodes in 2001, and her one-time step mother Rula Lenska had also made a guest appearance in the series during Laura's run playing Frank Butcher's girlfriend in the Spain episodes in 2002.

Since her departure from EastEnders, Waterman has appeared in episodes of the BBC medical dramas Doctors and Holby City, The Bill and a recurring role in New Tricks, which also starred her father.

On stage she has appeared in The Vagina Monologues, Soap at The Stephen Joseph theatre and Tom, Dick and Harry and Calendar Girls in the West End.

On 7 January 2007 she won the second series of the BBC's Just the Two of Us game show singing with Marti Pellow.

She has been seen in an episode of the Afternoon Play series on BBC1, in an acclaimed run of Alan Ayckbourn's Round and Round the Garden at the Theatre Royal, Windsor and as a contestant on Sky One's Cirque de Celebrité.

Waterman married EastEnders co-star Ricky Groves, who plays Garry Hobbs, on 2 September 2006 in a country church on Dartmoor. They announced that the relationship was over in January 2010[1]
