\n[post_page_title]Boris Johnson – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nIt’s always interesting to see how certain storylines incorporate reality in their plot. It could be in the form of famous people or even real life locations that are setting the background of a certain scene. It’s almost like reality has invaded our screen and threatened to throw in bits of reality in our very private world that we escape to when we want to have some escapism in our lives. When Boris Johnson, former Mayor of London, made his first appearance on the show in 2009, he pretty much played himself, which was surprising on different levels. He was in Walford running some things for the council when Peggy, who wanted to approach him about litter said just minutes before: ” “If that Boris Johnson comes in here I’ll give him a piece of my mind.” She of course went silent.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Boris Johnson – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nSince his 15 minutes of fame on the successful show, the former Mayor of London who was in office from 2008 to 2016, did have have his fair share of ups and downs and gained both enemies and friends along the way when on one hand he made an unpopular choice of voting for Britain to exit the EU, bit on the other hand he launched the bicycle hire scheme in London.

\nMartin Kemp, who in real life is a multi talented person when he was not only in the acting business but also in the music world as a bassist for Spandau Ballet, played the role of Steve Owen, from 1998 until 2002. He was actually the villain when he played a bully on the series, when his first storyline involved him murdering Saskia Duncan and later framing Matthew Rose for his crime. With his good looks and charisma, he was basically the square’s star.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Martin Kemp – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nKemp’s acting career never really took off since his soap opera days on the BBC One show. He had a few gigs as a low-key star in movies and on shows, but that’s pretty much it. He has been married since 1988 to Shirlie Holliman, the former back singer of the successful 80’s group, Wham!, who’s also responsible for the successful career kick off of the late George Michael. The couple has a daughter and a son together. Kemp was also on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012, where he finished third and this year he will be starring as a judge on BBC’s Let It Shine.

Besides her role on the show, she also had a successful hit song in 1986 named ‘Anyone Can Fall In Love’, that came fourth in the UK Singles Chart. The song was actually based on the show’s theme music. Dobson played the role of Angie Watts, a favored character, however the producers had to kill her character off due to her character’s alcohol issues. An interesting fact is that Dobson was not the original cast for the role of Angie, it was Jean Fennell who played it first, however the directors were not pleased with her performance so they had Dobson play the role instead.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Anita Dobson – Now[\/post_page_title]

He also had an affair with Cindy Beale who was his half-sister-in-law Cindy Beale. He left the show for good on May 17, 2014. It’s safe to say that he was the British equivalent to George Clooney due to his good looks and age.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Michael French – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nFrench definitely wasn’t done with his soap opera days when he left the EastEnders as he turned and starred in two other successful soap opera in Britain, Holby City and Casualty.

\n[post_page_title]Paul Nicholls – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nIt’s safe to say that Paul Nicholls captivated the hearts of many women in the U.K with his excellent acting of playing character with schizophrenia. The actor was not only doing his part so amazingly well, he was also very attractive, which helped his positive image. He first appeared on the show in 1996 and he left it only a little over a year later.

\n
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Leonard Fenton – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nThe 90 year old actor was actually born in the East End of London, which probably helped the authenticity of the role he was playing being a part of community in the fictional Borough of Walford in London’s East End. He has been on set since the very beginning, and he continued to make occasional appearances as Albert Square’s doctor. He actually didn’t turn to acting straight from the start, as he was originally trained during World War II to be a civil engineer, a career he was nurturing for five years before he pursued his dreams.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Leonard Fenton – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter he retired from his beloved role as Dr. Harold Legg in 1997, the most trusted person in the community, he has made cameos on the show the following years. Although he didn’t have many appearances on television since his days on the soap opera, he did stay in the industry when he had some voice over work for radio and as some animated characters.
\n
\n

\nThe popular British actress played the major role of Cindy Beale on the soap opera for ten years from 1988 to 1998, but with a break of two years in between.

\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Craig Fairbrass – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nThere’s no doubt that Craig Fairbass brought an edgier and darker side to the community of Albert Square with his bad boyish side. His played the character of Dan Sullivan from 1999 to 2001 when his storyline involved a love triangle between his partner, Carol Jackson and her daughter, Bianca.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Patsy Palmer – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen the actress quit in 1999 it was because she wanted to focus more of her time on her family and also pursue other projects.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Nick Berry – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter he left Heartbeat in 1998, he turned to pursue a career in music, which didn’t turn out to be very successful and as a result Nick continued his stints in acting. Eventually it was actress Rachel Robertson who captivated his heart and whom he married in 1994 and the two have two boys together.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]James Alexandrou – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nThe 31 year old actor actually started his career in 1996, when he landed the role of Martin Fowler, the younger son of Pauline and Arthur Fowler. Alexandrou is actually the second actor to portray that role, as it has been played in the past by Jon Peyton Price from 1985 to 1996. This is also one of those things that can only happen in soap operas. He later turned to the big screen when he played in the short film, Blessed Burden. When Alexandrou left the soap opera, his character was replaced by someone else.
\n
\n[post_page_title]James Alexandrou – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nIt was the stage that really inspired the actor after his days on the show, In 2014 he even played in Othello, as part of West End’s production during Shakespeare 450 celebrations. He also appeared in 2015 as Carl Parry on Silent Witness.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Wendy Richard – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nFrom one Fowler to another, Wendy Richard played the role of Pauline Fowler for a very very long time. In fact she was on the show from 1985 to 2006.

\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pam St. Clements – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nJust like her co tar, Adam Woodyatt, Pam is also one of the longest serving characters on the show when she her show’s debut in 1986 until 2012 and then returned again in 2016. When she was cast on 1986, it was meant to be for only three episodes, however, as we all know\u00a0by now, she ended up staying a bit longer than that. She played the role of Pat Butcer, a former prostitute who was also the ex wife of Pete Beale. Besides the numerous times she’s been married on the show, she also has a good record of surnames, that are hard to follow. Before she departed in 2012, she was quoted talking about her time on the soap opera saying: ‘I have enjoyed 25 and a half wonderful years in EastEnders creating the character of Pat but feel it’s time to hang up her earrings.’
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pam St. Clements – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nAgain, very typical to a soap opera storyline, after Pam’s character was killed off, she came back as a ghost, which is definitely one of the ways producers like to keep their characters returning from time to time. She is part of the LGBT community as she is known to be bisexual and a big supporter of gay rights. She is leading a very private and under the radar private life.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Martine McCutcheon – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nPlaying Bianca’s best friend on the British series has won Martine McCutcheon a lot of airtime as she was following her school friend around all the time. The actress and singer \u00a0played the role of Tiffany Dawn Mitchell for three years from 1995 until 1998. McCutcheon parted ways with the shows in 1998 to pursue a career as a singer. It appears that the producers were not in favor with her decision to leave, so they made the unpopular decision to kill off her character. Hey, we all know\u00a0that it doesn’t mean you can’t come back as a ghost at another point of time. The actress turn singer has released three albums and she even had a number one single called ‘Perfect Moment’.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Martine McCutcheon – Now[\/post_page_title]

She first appeared on EastEnders as Nick Cotton’s mother, who did not make her proud on the show as he was portrayed as a criminal. She worked closely with her co star Pauline Fowler.
\n
\n[post_page_title]June Brown – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nThe 89 year old is still going strong and she still appears on the soap opera. She has signed a contract with the network that she will remain on the show until she turns 90. What an honor.

\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Barbara Windsor – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nBarbara Windsor’s character as Peggy Mitchell was one of the most central characters as she owned the local pub where everyone would hit frequently, She was literally in the middle of where all the drama was happening. Dame Barbara Windsor, left the show in 2010, but did return for three more episodes between the years 2013 and 2015. The 79 year old actress actually began her acting career on stage in the 50’s and had her film debut when she was only 13.

He was on the show from 1998 until 2002 and when his character was killed off when he was 21, there were definitely many hearts left broken. His main storyline involves his relationship that went on and off with Sonia Fowler and the two were facing many problems in their relationship especially after Fowler gave birth at the age of 15 from another guy (Martin Fowler) before she met Jamie.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Jack Ryder – Now[\/post_page_title]

\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Deepak Verma – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough you could say that Deepak Verma played a somewhat controversial character with his deep love for gambling and other illegal activities, it was hard not to be fond of his character as Sanjay Kapoor , the adulterous gambler on the show. His character was involved in some of the most stormy storylines, one of them being a breakdown he was experiencing from being married to Gita, and later being wrongfully accused of her murder.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Deepak Verma – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nSince Verma left the show in 1998, he stayed in the industry but from the other side of the business when he founded his own production company called, Pukkanasha Films. The company’s objective is to basically produce and create films that are innovative, extraordinary, fresh and with a different vibe to them. In 2010 he even came up with FaithShorts, an international film competition that will inspire young people who aspire to be in the film industry, to create short films regarding their faith.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]David Walliams – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nWe’ve already come to realize that the successful BBC soap opera has had more characters and guest appearances than you can ever imagine. One of them included an appearance by Britain’s Got Talent judge, David Walliams. In 2003, the actor, comedian and presenter played a minor role as a fake registar on one of the Christmas episodes where Kat Slater and Alfie Moon got married. His brief stint might not be remembered by many people, unless you’re a big EastEnders fan who likes to keep track of all the guest appearances.
\n
\n[post_page_title]David Walliams – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nThe multi talented actor and author has married Dutch model, Lara Stone in 2009, and they even had a child together. However, their marriage did not survive too long and after five years they decided on trial separation and in 2015 ythe actor filed for divorce due to ‘unreasonable behaviour’.
\n

\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Linda Davidson – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nLinda Davidson was definitely the show’s wild child who has been a part of the cast from the very first year for three years until 1988. Punk Mary’s character was unpredictable and she was mostly known to be very stubborn. One of the most remembered storylines that she was part of her character’s dalliance with prostitution related to single mothers. Those scenes earned the show some very negative press, but we say there really isn’t any bad press when it comes to publicity. She left the show when she wanted to pursue other acting projects.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Linda Davidson – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nSince she left Albert Square, the 52 year old actress turned to writing and worked on some sitcoms as a director and a voiceover expert. You can say she definitely her personal life took a whole different turn than what her character was experiencing.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Susan Tully – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nJust like her co stars, Susan Tully has been on the show for quite some time in the beginning and later the producers had several attempts to bring her back on the show. Her role as Michelle Fowler was groundbreaking when she played a pregnant teenager, something that was not depicted very often on British television at the time, let alone on a soap opera. She actually appeared on the first ever episode of the show that was aired on February 19th, 1985 and she remained a central part pf the cast for ten years until 1995.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Susan Tully – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter it was reported that she would be coming back on the show, her role was eventually recast to actress, Jenna Russell. Tully didn’t really continue with her acting career and she’s mostly been bust behind the camera as she has been the director and producers of many British shows.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Adam Woodyatt – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nAdam Woodyatt is the one actor who’s been a part of the show for the longest time as he started when he was still a teenager and is now playing a grown man who’s been married for numerous times, on screen of course. He has won five British Soap Awards, where he was once awarded for Best Actor. Woodyatt is playing the role of Ian Albert, and just to understand the meaning of being part of the show for so many years, imagine he was a part of the 3000th episode of the show in May of last year. Wow!
\n
\n[post_page_title]Adam Woodyatt – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile his characters may have been married five times on the show, in real world he only tied the knot once when he married dancer, Beverley Sharp in 1998. The two had an intimate ceremony at no other than at Disney World, Florida, as private as it may be. He resides with his wife and two children in Southam, Warwickshire, which is 72 miles away from where EastEnders is filmed.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Gillian Taylforth – Then[\/post_page_title]
\nKathy Beale continues to be an iconic role in EastEnders. Though the woman who plays the character, Gillian Taylforth, opted to leave the show in 1998, it was not the end of her EastEnders career. She returned in 1999 for a bit to assist with another character’s departure from the show, but eventually quit again. Despite rumors of her coming back began to spread in 2005, the character was killed off in 2006. Not to worry, though, she still appears in episodes to this day, thanks to some creative writing.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Gillian Taylforth – Now[\/post_page_title]
\nGillian Taylforth’s character, Kathy Beale, shocked viewers by making a surprise return to the show in 2015 for their 30th anniversary episode.\u00a0After this, the writers and Taylforth agreed she would return as a permanent role and continues in episodes to this day. Aside from her work on EastEnders, Taylforth appeared on The Bill as Sergeant Nikki Wright from 2006-2008 and on Hollyoaks as Sandy Roscoe from 2013-2015. Her most beloved and popular role will probably always be Kathy Beale, though.
\n
