Talk:List of EastEnders characters

PLEASE NOTE: Dates do not need to be provided in the list, individual dates and information is available in the articles for individual characters!

As a courtesy to a complainant, I have blanked this talk page. I'm not sure what the complaint meant exactly, but I see no harm in blanking this. May the discussions begin anew as needed. :)--Jimbo Wales 20:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

It's at times like this that I ask myself: What Would Dot Cotton Do? --Tony Sidaway 22:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Interfere, most probably Stephenb (Talk) 09:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Rosie and Demi

It was reported in The Sun today that they will be leaving in an massive storyline this year, so I've re-added the "Departure unconfirmed" sub-section before people start fighting over whether they actually are leaving or not :) Sweetie Petie 11:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added the online references Stephenb (Talk) 12:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Vic the Crusher

I believe there was a character played by Peter Corey called Vic "the Crusher" who I can't in the list, but not being an EastEnders viewer, I don't have a clue when he arrived/left. Any help? smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 15:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

No character of that name exists according to Walford Web.

I couldn't find a mention either, but according to his website, he played both Vic "The Crusher" and Freddie Spence on Brookside. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 23:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't really think there's much point... we don't generally put characters on here who are only know by their first name (unless an article about them would be interesting enough) but I just don't think there's enough info about him..

Remember ?

From Yesterday's Metro newspaper:

"A Scriptwriter who sent an Eastenders producer more than 100 abusive emails was jailed for 5 months yesterday. Marc Tufano, 38 targeted Louise Berridge after she rejected his story idea for the BBC Soap. Tufano who had a small acting part in one episode of the programmed, branded MS Berridge 'Miss Fancy Knickers' in one message and threatend to get her sacked. He also set up an e-mail account in her name.

Tufano admitted Harassment."

Oh my goodness!Trampikey 19:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps he should have his own article! --Sweetie Petie 20:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I tried to make one, but it got speedily deleted... grr Trampikey 20:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

They probably thought it was just another Marc Tufano vandalism :) Sweetie Petie 20:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Jean Slater and Rebecca Miller

Both Jean Slater and Rebecca Miller are under soon to return however there has been no announcements by the BBC saying they will return, it is just rumours on Chatrooms and forums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mansoor1989 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I've given up monitoring these sections. They just leave the article too open for vandalism and rumour (I did, once, try adding an external attribution to justify a change, though that seems to have been removed). I'm not sure what's best to be done here, but we ought to find a way to manage changes to this article more effectively. Stephenb (Talk) 08:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I give up too. Sweetie Petie 12:45, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't :) Trampikey 21:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't either really, well, apart from Jean Slater and Rebecca Miller :) Although Rebecca being a "recurring" character is better than being moved in and out all the time. Perhaps we should do the same for Margaret Wilson...? Sweetie Petie 21:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Rev. Tom Stuart

He hasn't been seen for years. Are we sure he's still a recurring cast member? 80.41.123.17 12:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Alex Coombs as Jake Jones

The article currently claims that an actor called Alex Coombs plays a character called Jake Jones. I have been unable to find any verifiable evidence of this at all. Capitalistroadster 11:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, it's just another rumour doing the rounds that some idiot thought they cold add! Trampikey 13:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

My reply to this question has mysteriously vanished :S Sweetie Petie 15:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

HOW COULD WE MISS THE MOST IMPORTANT EASTENDERS CHARACTER EVER?????????????

Big Ron! Where is he???? He's totally notable for a minor character and so should have his own article! Make it now please! Sweetie Petie 18:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Robert Kazinsky

Source: [1]

He posted it himself, I have a feeling he'll be playing Sean Slater, but that's unconfirmed... Trampikey 20:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Dot Branning

I have moved Dot Branning back into Present because she is NOT leaving only taking a short break like other Characters do from time to time e.g Pat Evans who has not been seen for a long time this is because she on an break too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.9.44 (talk • contribs)

Lorna Fitzgerald

Is not playing Abi Branning- this isn't confirmed. Trampikey 21:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Now confirmed: [2] Trampikey 08:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Children's section

Darren is in the children's section because he is 15. He will be put in the regualr characters section when he turns 16 on 27th January 2007. Squiggle is 16 (not a child) and Stacey is 17. Trampikey 21:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Is 18 not the legal age for adulthood anymore? -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the kids section should be sorted and have theier ages displayed so we no wen to move it. User:MCMXC

Would you call Stacey and Rubes children? or we could just merge babies and children into the main section... Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 19:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Are they separated for any particular reason? -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope... Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 21:01, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I say merge the list, in the correct order... I'll leave it to someone who knows what that order should be! -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure who appeared first out of Peter and Lucy, but Darren definitely appeared before Keith (remember them all crowding round the removal van and Clint saying "release the Keith!", who was in the back of the van) and Abi appeared before Lauren ("Dad, keys!" [Max throws keys, Lauren gets out of car]) Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 22:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Sharon not returning

[3] Trampikey 18:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Aleesha Miller

I have moved to the soon to depart section because Soaplife magazine have implyed that when Rosie and Demi leave Demi takes Aleesha with her.the departure will take place on Friday July 7 2006

Who is Beth?

Can someone provide a reference? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

It's Jake Moon's estate agent girlfriend Trampikey 19:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Ruby Allen

• This report claims that Ruby Allen is leaving. Please do not add her to "Soon to depart" until we have confrimation from the BBC. Thanks Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 08:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Which they now have done. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Pauline Fowler

[4] - she's leaving! Trampikey ^{(talk to me)(contribs)} 19:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Sharon is returning

Sharon will return, she is just on a break. This was reported ages ago that she is just on a break like the one she had in 2004 to 2005. If Letitia Dean and Nigel Harman were both leaving permanently then they would have both left together. The reason Dennis was killed off was because Letitia wasn't leaving permanently and it would be stupid for them to split up again after everything.
