Hannah Waterman's casting in the role of Laura Dunn, a love interest for Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), was announced on 6 January 2000; the character debuted on 17 February.[2] Following Yorke's appointment as executive producer, he introduced a new family, the Slaters, to "bring back some traditional EastEnders values."[3] The family consisted of: grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse) who has a thirty-year feud with Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement); her widower son-in-law Charlie Slater (Derek Martin); and Charlie's daughters, Lynne Slater (Elaine Lordan), "floozy" Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), Little Mo Morgan (Kacey Ainsworth) and teenage Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan).[3] Lynne's partner, Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves), was introduced alongside the family, while Little Mo's abusive husband Trevor Morgan (Alex Ferns) was introduced in December. The fifth daughter of Charlie was also announced alongside the family, but did not appear in 2000.[3] Eddie Skinner (Richard Vanstone) and Kerry Skinner (Gemma McCluskie), the relatives of Ethel Skinner (Gretchen Franklin), were introduced in September. Yorke decided to introduce a black family in late 2000, starting with the arrival of "busy body" matriarch Audrey Trueman (Corinne Skinner-Carter) who was followed by her doctor son, Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey).[4]
Following several guest appearances across 1998 and 1999, Perry Fenwick was reintroduced as a regular cast member; his character Billy Mitchell returned on 15 February. Fenwick cited Ross Kemp's 1999 departure from his role as Grant Mitchell as the reason for his promotion.[5] Ethel Skinner (Franklin) was reintroduced on 8 June for a storyline which saw Ethel decided to commit suicide; the character departed on 7 September following her death.[6] Harold Legg (Leonard Fenton) returned for several episodes between August and September for Ethel's departure. Nellie Ellis (Elizabeth Kelly) also returned for one episode to coincide with Ethel's funeral. It was announced on 23 July 2000 that Ashley Cotton would be reintroduced to the series, with the role recast to Frankie Fitzgerald; he made his debut on 27 July.[7] Ashley's father, Nick Cotton (John Altman), was reintroduced in November.

Ricky and Liam departed on 20 April.[13] Race Davies quit her role as Jackie Owen in 2000 after four months in the series; the character departed on 1 June.[14] Craig Fairbrass departed from his role as Dan Sullivan on 10 July. Troy Titus Adams and Leslie Schofield were axed from their respective roles as Nina Harris and Jeff Healy in 2000.

After the customers leave, Frank tells Roy that Pat did not want to leave him and says goodbye to Janine. At home, Pat explains her feelings to Roy and asks him for forgiveness; he asks if the affair was about sex, to which she says it was not as that is no longer important to her and Roy takes her back, however, Barry shows Roy the suitcase and Roy realises the affair was sexual so he throws her out calling her a "filthy whore". Frank finds Pat's gloves in his car so returns them to Roy and hears that she has left; Roy punches Frank in the face. During a heavy rainstorm, Frank shouts that he loves Pat but Pat, sitting in the nearby gardens, is unable to move or speak due to her emotional state; when she finally does, Frank is in his car unable to hear her over the rain and she is too late as he drives away.
