Profile
Date of birth 21 October 1990
Occupation Beautician and receptionist (since 2011)

Poppy Meadow, played by Rachel Bright, is a friend of Jodie Gold's (Kylie Babbington) who initially appears on 11 and 13 January 2011,[1][2] and returned on 30 June 2011.[3] On the 24th October 2011 it was announced that Bright's contract will not be renewed and that she will leave the show.

In her first two episodes, Jodie and her boyfriend Darren Miller (Charlie G. Hawkins) try to get Poppy to go on a date with Tamwar Masood (Himesh Patel), but later Tamwar is called away by his mother Zainab (Nina Wadia) before he has spoken to Poppy. Jodie and Poppy have a conversation about Jodie's father, and Darren promises to give Poppy a "proper London experience", despite the fact she lives in Shepherd's Bush. Darren ends up buying Poppy a meal in the local café instead of going to another pub, and Poppy tells Jodie to give Darren the silent treatment in order to get him to do what she wants. Poppy is subsequently mentioned by Jodie in conversation, after Jodie and Darren go to Poppy's off-screen party where Poppy falls of a chair and injures herself.

She meets up with Jodie and Darren in the café some months later, and is worried about telling Jodie that she is dating her ex-boyfriend. Tyler Moon (Tony Discipline) flirts with Poppy and this forces her to tell Jodie, who is happy for her. She loses her job so Jodie suggests she work at the beauty salon in Walford as a receptionist. She offers Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) the tanning booth but she stays in too long. Later, Tyler squirts her with cold water saying it must be illegal to "be that hot", to which Poppy responds negatively to. Poppy reveals she is having problems with her boyfriend Julian, and decides to date Tyler to make him jealous.

Poppy becomes Jodie's bridesmaid for her wedding along with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa). However Poppy discovers that Darren had a drunken one night stand with Lauren on his stag party. Poppy threatens Darren and Lauren that if one of them does not tell Jodie about their encounter, she will. However, when she tells Jodie, Jodie says she already knows and still wants to get married. However, Darren calls off the wedding and leaves Walford, and in the following month, Jodie's mother Vanessa (Zoe Lucker) also leaves. Poppy supports Jodie, and the pair become flatmates. They rent a flat from Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but when he increases their rent, they refuse to pay and Ian tells Poppy and Jodie to leave. They then move in with Tyler and his brother, Anthony (Matt Lapinskas). It soon emerges that Poppy is attracted to Anthony, and Jodie tells him. Anthony prefers Jodie, but despite this, he asks Poppy out on a date.

Reception and development

Poppy's original scenes were described as "a bizarre and utterly irrelevant chat" by Jody Thompson from the Daily Mail when it was reported that they were used as "filler" for scenes from the funeral of Tommy Moon that were cut from the episodes.[4] Daniella Graham from the Metro said that "viewers were left questioning why on earth anyone thought this pointless sub-plot was necessary."[5] However, Derek Lord from The Press and Journal said it was a "a welcome addition to the show," saying that "as a double act, [Jodie and Poppy are] no Morecambe and Wise, but at least they bring an element of something approaching humour to the otherwise soul-destroying drabness of the London soap."[6] Jim Shelley from the Daily Mirror called Poppy "Optimist of the week" for her line "I bet it's really nice here when they ain't having a funeral."[7] Stuart Heritage from The Guardian said that Poppy made an impact in her two episodes, calling her "perhaps the greatest television bit-part character of the modern age".[8] Heritage said she has "the name of a Bond girl, the hair of a Winkleman and the voice of a Katie Price robot running low on batteries" and called the scenes "a bizarre sequence [...] where [she spouted] torrents of charmingly directionless nonsense about peanuts and oily T-zones at regular character Jodie Gold. And then Poppy disappeared forever."[8] He called her electrifying and hoped that she would return.[8] Daniel Kilkelly from website Digital Spy called Poppy "ditzy".[9] On 12 May 2011, Babbington revealed on This Morning that she had filmed scenes with Bright and Poppy would be returning, with comical scenes.[9]

Date of death 25 August 2011
Occupation Pimp

Rob Grayson, played by Jody Latham, is a pimp who exploits Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) for financial gain.[10][11] His first appearance was on 22 February 2011,[12] and he appeared until a special Comic Relief episode on 18 March 2011. He made a short return from 19 August 2011[13] until 26 August 2011.

He first appears when he witnesses Whitney attempting to pickpocket a man but ending up with cuts on her face.Rob rescues her from the situation,[14] and buys her a meal. He gives her his number so she can contact him any time she needs get away, before taking her home. They stay in contact and Rob is seen showing a friend a photo of Whitney. When Whitney either rejects or is rejected by all her friends and family, she contacts Rob and he takes her to stay with him. After Whitney has been missing for several days, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) tries to phone her, leaving several messages. When she finally gets a voicemail back, it is from Rob saying if she calls again, there will be trouble.

Lauren tracks Whitney down to Dartford, but Whitney insists she is fine with Rob, and that they are in love. Rob meets Lauren at their bedsit and invites her out with them, but Lauren leaves. Rob then leaves Whitney alone with Chris (Richard Simons) and it is revealed that Rob is using Whitney to pay off his debts. Rob meets Lauren in a café and again invites her out and calls her beautiful. He then threatens her, saying he does not want to see her again. When Rob returns to the bedsit, Whitney is there with Janine Malloy (Charlie Brooks), who says she is taking Whitney home. Whitney refuses to go and Rob ejects Janine from the building. Rob then tells Whitney they are going out immediately, and drags her to the car as she refuses to go. Lauren and Janine watch as Rob drives away with Whitney. Rob takes Whitney to a house where she meets Chloe (Georgia Henshaw), another girl being exploited. Whitney realises she is there to have sex with men, so asks Rob if she can leave. Rob says to either be nice to his friends or he will hurt her. He grabs her and locks her in a room. She is unable to open the windows so when she hears people outside the door, she smashes a window, jumps to the ground and runs away with Rob calling after her. She then stops a car and asks for help. She later returns to Walford after being arrested for shoplifting. Her half brother Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott) learns of what happened and wants to find Rob but Whitney says he has moved.

When Whitney starts a relationship with a man named Lee (Mitchell Hunt), it is revealed that he is a friend of Rob's, and when Whitney agrees to meet Lee by text, Rob takes control of Lee's mobile phone. Whitney goes to meet Lee and is shocked to see Rob instead. She is taken in by his charm until she texts Lee not to come, and then sees the message on Rob's phone. She allows Rob to take her home but then tells him to wait outside while she escapes through the back door and hitches a lift to Southend-on-Sea with friends. She leaves Rob a voicemail message not knowing that he has followed her. He finds her in her hotel room and tells her how much he loves her, but when Fatboy comes in, Rob attacks him, so Whitney tells him to leave. Fatboy calls Ryan, who comes to Southend to look for Rob. When he finds him, they fight and fall over the edge of the pier. A body is recovered from the sea, and is later revealed to be Rob's.

Development

In January 2011, it was announced that Whitney would be part of the sexual exploitation storyline. She is left alone and vulnerable, and falls for Rob, who then exploits her. EastEnders worked alongside charity Comic Relief on the storyline, which started planning in 2010. The storyline culminated during Red Nose Day 2011 on 18 March 2011, in a special 10-minute episode.[15] Gilly Green, Head of UK Grants at Comic Relief, said: "It is vital that we continue to alert young people to the dangers if we are to stop them being exploited and the opportunity to work with EastEnders will make a huge audience aware of this issue. We have been working with the EastEnders script writers and some of the young women from projects we support to ensure the story reflects the reality of young people caught up in sexual exploitation."[16] Kevin Cahill, Chief Executive of Comic Relief, added "We have worked over many years with EastEnders in all kinds of ways. It's been a real pleasure this year to work together on a piece of serious drama, in the best traditions of public service, which will highlight an important issue and also, because it occurs on the night of Comic Relief, actually help raise crucial funds to help young women caught up in it."[15] An EastEnders insider spoke of the storyline leading up to Rob's arrival: "Janine's a terrible influence and is soon dragging Whitney into all sorts of shady schemes. Given that Janine used to be a prostitute, it makes sense that she's part of Whitney's journey. Whitney has no idea what she's letting herself in for. Janine is only part of the problem though. It's when she meets Rob—a deeply unscrupulous man—that her life starts to fall apart in a terrifying way."[17] Rob has been called "evil" by The People[18] and by executive producer Bryan Kirkwood,[19] a "nasty piece of work" by Orange,[20] "sinister" by Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy[19] and "vicious"[21] and "vile"[22] by The Sun.

McGarty hoped the storyline would raise awareness of the issue for young people,[23] and explained that the storyline would be a continuing one, as "Whitney will live in fear that Rob and his gang are going to come after her when she escapes. That's what these people do. They don't just leave you to get on with your life. In their mind they own you."[24] She also added that she hopes that the storyline will lead to better conviction rates as she said that they aren't 'good enough'.[24] Latham met real-life prostitutes at a drop-in centre as research, which he described as "heartbreaking".[25] Latham revealed after his stint that he hoped to return, saying, "I always say it's better to play the bad guy—everyone remembers the bad guy. They get the best endings. I had an absolutely great time on EastEnders. It was a breath of fresh air. [...] Judging from the way it was left, the door is wide open, so you never know. I would love to come back and cause some trouble."[26]

On 1 May 2011 it was reported by the Daily Star that Latham would return to EastEnders in a couple of weeks time to film the conclusion to the storyline. A source said, "Whitney will not be going back on the streets but the writers felt the storyline needed to be tied up so Jody is coming back for a couple of episodes. Whitney is currently having to come to terms with everything that she did while under Rob's spell and she's not coping very well. She's trying to move on but, with everyone knowing that she worked as a prostitute, she's finding it all very ­difficult. The writers decided it would be good for her to come face to face with Rob again once she's strong enough to do so. They've written the conclusion to her storyline and Jody will be back to film the dramatic ending in a couple of weeks time. Rob is set to finally get his come-uppance."[27] An EastEnders spokeperson confirmed this.[27] Kirkwood said that Rob would return when Whitney is at her most vulnerable, following the reveal of her brother Ryan's affair with her best friend Lauren.[19] Scenes were filmed in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, for Rob's return, after Ryan tracks Rob down[28] and finds Whitney with him.[29] It was revealed by the News of the World that Ryan and Rob will have a massive showdown on the pier, and Ryan will murder Rob as revenge for forcing Whitney into prostitution.[30] Ryan will then go on the run from the police, not wanting to get caught for murdering Rob.[13]

It was reported by The People that Latham had received criticism from viewers who struggled to understand his Burnley accent.[18] He said, "I'm sorry people are having ­difficulty with my accent. I'm sure the great fans of EastEnders will get used to it!"[31] The storyline reportedly received criticism from fans. The BBC issued a statement, saying:

The EastEnders audience would have been aware of the dark situation Whitney was getting into. In the preceding episodes viewers saw Whitney feeling increasingly unwanted and unloved, with her brother and her step-mother absent, her life was taking a downward spiral. [...] It was a natural progression of Whitney's story thus far and we felt it was an important story to tell, and hopefully to raise awareness of amongst our audience. In doing so, we believe it was right to show the—albeit unpleasant—reality of the situation faced by these girls, rather than put a gloss on it. In the episode Whitney is seen to escape and to raise the alarm—we did not leave the audience on a cliffhanger. The menace and danger Whitney is in whilst clear is implied rather than graphic or sensationalised and is in keeping with the audience expectations of how EastEnders would tackle a tough story in a pre-watershed manner and indeed how Whitney's story has evolved over the last few years. We are conscious that Red Nose Day programming includes many different tones and themes, ranging from light comedy sketches to difficult and emotional appeal films, all of which played out around the time the EastEnders episode was scheduled to transmit. We hope that the majority of the audience would have heard the first extended warning and that the serious tone of the introduction, though truncated, pointed to the fact that the upcoming film was a gear change. It was further put into context by the presenters at the end of the piece, when they talked about the Comic Relief-funded charities working to help girls like Whitney."[32]

Speaking about how members of the public reacted to the storyline, Latham told OK!, "Considering Rob makes Phil Mitchell look like a field mouse, I've got to be quite grateful. I've not had a tin of baked beans chucked at me in Asda by some nice old lady. It's just a bit of banter off the public, which I relish. I've not had anyone threaten to beat me up yet, which is a plus point!"[33]

Date of birth 10 March 2003[34]

Shenice Quinn, played by nine-year-old Lily Harvey,[35][36] is the daughter of Martina Quinn (Tamara Wall), who it is an old friend of Kat Moon's (Jessie Wallace) from Spain. Martina reported Kat and her husband Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) to the police in Spain, leading to some animosity between Kat and Martina. Martina and Shenice arrive at The Queen Victoria, and Kat immediately throws water over Martina. However, she reveals that her bar was smashed up by the police and she was worried that she would lose Shenice if she did not tell the truth.[37] Alfie bonds with Shenice, and Martina tells Kat that she has lost her bar and has nothing left, so Kat allows her them to stay. After a night out with Kat, Martina spends the day in bed. Kat later finds Shenice wearing her clothes and makeup. Kat shouts at Shenice to take the clothes off, and Shenice flinches thinking Kat is going to hit her. The next day, Shenice is caught trying to steal cigarettes from the local shop, which Kat chastises a drunken Martina for. Martina calls her daughter useless before going to bed, and Shenice tells Kat and Alfie that Martina says things she does not mean when she is drunk. The next day, Martina tells Kat that she will get some money so she and Shenice can move out and that she is back with her boyfriend. Kat and Alfie organise a birthday party for Shenice as Martina has forgotten and Shenice takes a disliking to Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith) as they are wearing the same outfit. Shenice has to leave half-way through the party as Martina finds a place to live, and they move out, leaving Alfie and Kat distraught.

Kat and Alfie holiday in Spain and return with Shenice. Shenice and Tiffany become friends but Shenice becomes bored as Kat cannot take her and Tiffany out anywhere because of Kat's baby Tommy. Shenice bonds with Kat's relative Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) after helping her plant some window boxes. When Shenice is due to go back to Spain, she begs to stay in Walford and Alfie agrees.

Development

Harvey is the real-life sister of Lacey Turner who played Stacey Slater. Shenice is described as a cheeky youngster.[36] Harvey and Wall started filming in January 2011[36] and first appear on screen on 28 February 2011.[38] Harvey has grown up around the EastEnders set but had to audition for the part.[36] Producers were unaware that Harvey and Turner were related until after the casting was made. Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood explained: "I sat down and watched a tape of a very talented young girl and it was only after we decided to cast [Harvey] that I was told [she] was [Turner]'s sister. [Harvey] got the role entirely on her own merits."[39] In April 2011 it was announced that Harvey would be reprising the role. It was reported that Kat and Alfie will meet Martina and Shenice while on holiday in Spain. A source told The Sun that "Kat and Alfie have just got their family back together when they turn up with another kid in tow. Poor old Shenice has not been having a great time in Spain with her mum, who won't win any prizes for mother of the year. Martina may be an old friend, but Kat is fed up because she keeps neglecting her daughter and going on the razz. She seems incapable of settling down. So she and Alfie convince Martina that Shenice would be better off back with them in Walford. Alfie has missed her like mad."[40] It was said she will be returning for a number of weeks,[40] and she made her return on 1 August 2011.[41]

Ashley Chubb,[42] played by Colin Mace,[43] is the father of established character Fatboy (Ricky Norwood). He is mentioned in the episode broadcast on 14 March 2011 when Fatboy says his parents have split up because Ashley has lost his job. Ashley arrives in Walford two weeks later needing a place to stay. Fatboy invites him to stay with his friend Mercy Olubunmi (Bunmi Mojekwu) and her grandmother Grace Olubunmi (Ellen Thomas), but has to sneak him in so Grace does not find out. Ashley then rents a room at the local bed and breakfast, run by Kim Fox (Tameka Empson). He asks Fatboy for money, saying he has a job interview out of town, but spends it on alcohol, telling Kim that he has done a one-off job for a friend. Fatboy discovers that Ashley is simply drinking away the money he lent him, and Kim leaves, telling Ashley not to stress about the rent. Fatboy tells Ashley that he is in love with Mercy, but she has a boyfriend, so in order to help Fatboy, he reports Mercy to the border agency for having an expired visa, which Fatboy told him about. Ashley then leaves Walford and two days later the UK Border Agency talk to Mercy and make her leave the country. Before she leaves, Fatboy proposes.

It was announced on 23 January 2011 that EastEnders producers were planning to expand Fatboy's family due to his popularity, and were in the process of casting his father.[42] The part was cast to Mace, who filmed five episodes.[44] Ashley is said to be a wheeler-dealer like his son.[45] Ashley's arrival is reported to be due to difficulties in his personal life.

Lydia Simmonds, initially played by Margaret Tyzack and then by Heather Chasen, is the maternal grandmother of Ricky (Sid Owen) and Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks). She made her first appearance on 5 April 2011.[49] She left the series on 13 June 2011.[50]

She is first seen when Janine visits her in hospital and realises that Lydia needs somewhere to stay. Lydia says she will sell her house and go into care, then sends Janine to her house to take photos, knowing that Janine will see how valuable the house is. Janine then invites Lydia to stay with her, and Lydia refuses, so Janine says that it is what Janine's mother and Lydia's daughter, June, would have wanted, so Lydia agrees. Although Janine believes she has manipulated Lydia, Lydia reveals to her nurse that she had in fact manipulated Janine. Lydia moves in and receives a letter that Janine tries to look at. Lydia tells Janine that she knows she is only interested in her money and wants her dead, but says Janine will have a long wait. On the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton she attends Dot Branning's (June Brown) street party but insults her great-granddaughter Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith) so Dot wheels her to The Queen Victoria where she watches the wedding. She is seated in front of the television, blocking everyone's view, so Winston (Ulric Browne) wheels her out of the way, pulling the cable out of the television, which causes it to lose picture. Lydia then manages to sell her house and so moves her belongings into Janine's flat and removes a canvas picture of Frank from Janine's living room. Janine disapproves but is forced to let her stay permanently. Later, Lydia then patronises everyone including Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement), Frank's mistress when he was still married to June. After moving in some furniture, Lydia struggles to stand, insisting she does not need help from Janine and slaps her when she tries to. While Janine is out, Lydia tries to reach her pills but falls out of her wheelchair. Janine is shocked to find her on the floor when she returns, and then helps her up. Lydia is unable to have an operation and is just put on stronger medicine. Lydia tells Janine that she will be fine, but Janine finds out from doctor Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti) that she is worse than she says. Lydia bonds with Tiffany whilst she and Janine are looking after her. Janine tells Lydia that she likes having her around and wants her to stay. However, she wakes up one night saying she has seen June. She talks to Janine about her funeral and will, but Janine says she would rather have Lydia's photos of June than her money. Lydia asks to see the sun rise and hear the dawn chorus, and Janine opens the window for her. After this, Lydia quietly dies in her wheelchair and Janine is left in a state of shock.

Development

Described as feisty,[51] twisted, manipulative, damaged[52] and "[a] lady of class and dignity", Lydia's backstory states that she loved her daughter June but hated the man June married, Frank Butcher (Mike Reid), so she grew old alone and lived a life of solitude. Lydia and Janine were estranged for years and Janine is shocked to have her grandmother back in her life. The character and casting were announced on 15 February 2011, and of her casting, Tyzack said "I am delighted to be joining a great British tradition and a fine company of actors", and Executive Producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "What a coup to have Margaret Tyzack starring in EastEnders. She is an actress of incredible class and talent. Lydia has endless possibilities as a character, and I can't wait to see Janine meet her match."[53] Former EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy predicted that Tyzack would be "fantastic" in the role.[54] An EastEnders source revealed that Lydia is more of a schemer than Janine, saying "Janine is going to think there's a potential meal ticket arriving in the form of Lydia. But she's a very complex woman—and Janine won't be able to manipulate her as easily as she'd imagined."[55]

On 13 April 2011, it was reported that Tyzack had pulled out of the role for personal reasons.[56] Producers wanted to keep Lydia in the show as they had plans for her.[57] Two episodes featuring Tyzack had already been broadcast,[49][58] and she featured in a further one on 14 April.[59] It was announced that 83-year-old (at the time of casting) Heather Chasen, who was previously best known for playing "super bitch" Valerie Pollard in ITV soap opera, Crossroads,[60] would replace Tyzack in the role, beginning filming on 15 April[56] for scenes to be broadcast from 21 April.[61] Brooks revealed in a exclusive interview with Inside Soap the effect Lydia has had on Janine saying, "Janine had no idea how much she'd fall in love with her grandma. [...] She recognises a lot of herself in Lydia, and finally understands where she gets a lot of her traits. It's nice to see the more vulnerable side of Janine and explore why she's turned out the way that she has. Having got to know her gran, Janine regrets not getting in touch with Lydia sooner. She didn't realise Lydia cared—she thought she was just another family member who'd neglected her. Janine feels tremendously sad."[62] Brooks also said Janine would feel 'hurt' and 'furious' of people thinking she killed Lydia saying, "[Pat] actually accuses Janine of killing Lydia. Janine's hurt but also nonchalant about it. Janine denies it of course, but it's frustrating for her as this is one of the first times in her life that she is genuinely telling the truth."[63]

Cora Cross, played by Ann Mitchell, is the mother of Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner) and Rainie Cross (Tanya Franks).[65] Cora initially appeared from 11 to 15 April 2011,[66][67][68] and returned as a regular character on 28 July.[69]

On her first appearance, she turns up at Tanya's house unannounced, and revealing that Tanya's fiancé Greg Jessop (Stefan Booth) invited her to their wedding against Tanya's wishes.[65] Rainie arrives at Tanya's house and Tanya is initially unhappy at the sight of Rainie but Cora vouches for her by promising that she is now clean from drugs and her counsellor thinks Rainie should reconnect with her family. Tanya soon softens towards her mother and sister. On Tanya's hen night, Cora takes a dislike to Vanessa Gold (Zoe Lucker) after Vanessa laughs about them living on a council estate. The next day, Tanya's ex-husband Max Branning (Jake Wood) goes to Tanya's house after tearing their daughter Abi Branning's (Lorna Fitzgerald) bridesmaid dress; Tanya does not want to see him so Cora attempts to sort him out, claiming she knows how to "push his buttons". She tells Max that although the girls have his name, they are Crosses deep down. It is revealed that Rainie is staying at Cora's house. Cora then attends Tanya's wedding, and finds it amusing that Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) has kissed Greg the night before as Jane said he was kind to her when she was crying about a fight she had with Tanya when Tanya thought Jane was trying to get close to Greg. Cora says it is interesting, saying that Tanya would have ripped her eyes out if she had kissed Max when they were together. Cora departs after the wedding on 15 April, and Rainie later reveals that she has moved out of her mother's home.

Cora returns months later as she can no longer handle her abusive neighbours and asks to stay with Tanya for a few days. Tanya lets her stay longer, and on her birthday, she visits The Queen Victoria public house and meets Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). She gets drunk and confronts Tanya about forgetting her birthday and how she treats Rainie. Cora also guesses that Tanya does not love Greg, but Tanya denies this. Cora reveals she has been evicted from her home because her neighbour has an ASBO, but when Cora, Tanya and Rainie return there to empty the house, the neighbour reveals that Cora is the one with the ASBO. She looks after Tanya's young son Oscar Branning (Charlee and Neo Hall) but he annoys her due to the noise he makes. She leaves him to play on the stairs and he falls, resulting in minor injuries.

Eventually Cora is forced to move out of Tanya's and convinces Dot Branning (June Brown) to let her stay with her. She asks Anthony Moon (Matt Lapinskas) to help her move her things, saying he can keep one of her belongings as payment. He asks for her candlesticks, but she says they are the only decent thing she owns, so she lets him buy them for £200. She later finds out they could be worth £1000, so convinces Anthony's father Eddie (David Essex) to give her an extra £300, but he believes them to be worth £8000.

Creation and development

Cora and her casting were announced on 21 March 2011, when she was described as having "a brash, outspoken attitude and does not care who she offends. She also quickly puts Tanya under scrutiny, believing that success has turned her into a snob".[65] It was said that she secretly wants to heal the rift between Tanya and Rainie.[70] She has also been described as a "bolshie battleaxe".[71] Mitchell said of her casting "As a lifelong fan of EastEnders, I am thrilled to join the cast. I am a great fan of June Brown's [who plays Dot Branning] and am looking forward to sharing some scenes with her."[65] Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood opined: "I'm very excited to have the much-loved Ann Mitchell joining us. Cora Cross is a formidable woman, cut from the same cloth as many glorious Walford women of the past, and Ann Mitchell is just perfect for the role."[65] It is Mitchell's second role in EastEnders, having previously played Jane Williams from 2001 to 2002.[65] Cora initially appeared from 11[66][67] to 15 April 2011. On 31 May 2011, it was confirmed that Cora would be returning to EastEnders as a regular character. Kirkwood said, "We all love Cora here—actress Ann Mitchell could be one of the Walford greats.

The Daily Mail's Jaci Stephen deemed Cora "an archetypal East End matriarch".[73] Stephen wrote: "brash and blunt, what she lacks in diplomacy she makes up for in style, even if that's not the way daughter Tanya always sees it. The role is a perfect fit for actress Ann who, as gangster Dolly Rawlins in Widows, was one of the Eighties' most iconic TV females.[73] Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy said, "During her brief stay on Albert Square, Cora quickly became known for her brash attitude and outspoken ways."[72]

He first appears when he is seen sitting at the bar of The Queen Victoria and Jane asks him to join her pub quiz team. Afterwards, Martin asks Jane to invite him next time. Martin passes his number to Jane via her brother Christian Clarke (John Partridge), asking her to call him. On Jane's 40th birthday, he turns up at the pub and goes over to Jane. They both lie about their lives and jobs, but as they are about to kiss, Martin says he cannot keep lying as he likes Jane too much, and says he's divorced with a child and lives in a pokey flat. Jane also tells the truth and stops Martin leaving, saying her house is not pokey and they can go there. They kiss as they enter the house but are surprised by Jane's husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and his son Bobby Beale (Alex Francis), throwing her a surprise dinner. The next day, Jane tries to end their brief relationship, but he kisses her, which Ian sees through the window, though Jane dumps him.

The Daily Star reported that Jane will have a one-night stand with Martin and viewers would be left wondering if she would confess to her husband, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).[76] However, an EastEnders source told Digital Spy, "It doesn't go as far as a one-night stand, but Jane is flattered by the attention, they exchange phone numbers, there's some flirting and a couple of kisses."[74] Martin has been described as a "hunk".[76]

When she starts working, Dot is strict and wants everything done a certain way. Marta tells Dot's friend Edward Bishop (Frank Barrie) that nothing she does is right in Dot's eyes. Dot later finds out that Marta is working nights as well, and Marta explains that her husband drinks and lost his job. She begs Dot not to tell the agency, and Dot allows her to continue working for her. When Marta returns a week later, Dot says she does not need any help and makes Marta look after her husband, Jim Branning (John Bardon), but Marta protests that that is not her job. The following day, Marta arrives late, annoying Dot. While Dot is looking through her purse, she finds a £10 note which she drops on the floor. She leaves the room, but comes back having lost the cash and accuses Marta of stealing it, thinking she put it on the table; Marta is fired by Dot. Dot later finds the money on the floor and regrets sacking Marta.

After Marta was seen smoking an electronic cigarette, it was reported that some viewers who smoked had switched from real cigarettes. The electronic cigarettes were supplied by E-Lites, and Adrian Everett, one of the company's founders and directors, said: "[W]e were delighted to be asked to supply E-Lites to the makers of EastEnders as part of a new storyline. The fact that electronic cigarettes were featured in an everyday scene is a fantastic example of how our products are being accepted by the wider population. More people are becoming aware of E-Lites every day and this is yet another big step forward."[79]

Tyler Moon, played by Tony Discipline, is the son of Eddie Moon (David Essex), half brother[85] of Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), brother of Anthony Moon (Matt Lapinskas) and cousin of Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).

Tyler first arrives in Walford in his father's car and is instantly attracted to Jodie Gold (Kylie Babbington). He gets into trouble with three sisters he has been dating simultaneously, who get their revenge by slapping him and pouring drinks over him. He helps his father move his business into new premises, along with his brother Anthony who later arrives in Walford, and takes up boxing after his half-brother Michael notices that Tyler has problems with aggression. Tyler floors his first opponent, but does not know that Michael had paid his opponent to lose the fight and let Tyler win. Tyler later dates Poppy Meadow (Rachel Bright), although she only goes through with it to make her boyfriend jealous.

Tyler decides he wants to take part in an unlicensed boxing match but changes his mind when Anthony voices his concerns that it is too dangerous. However, Michael manipulates Tyler by buying him a personalised boxing robe, claiming that he bought it before Tyler decided to quit, which makes Tyler change his mind again. Michael sets Tyler up with a boxer called Artie Stiller (Maurice Lee), who is known to fight dirty. Eddie tells Tyler that if he is knocked down, he should stay down, but during the fight, Tyler continues to get up and continue fighting in an attempt to impress Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). Tyler wins, but then collapses in the ring and suffers a seizure. At the hospital, Eddie and Anthony are distraught as they are informed that Tyler has bleeding between his brain and skull and is taken into surgery for a life-saving operation. Eddie is later told that Tyler may have suffered brain damage. Tyler survives and recovers, but learns from his father that Michael set up an unfair fight to punish the family, leading Tyler and Anthony to reject Michael. Eddie leaves Walford, leaving Tyler and Anthony the antiques business, and free run of the house.

Whitney agrees to go on a date with Tyler. They agree to have sex, but Whitney is unsure as she remembers her past and runs out, telling Tyler she never wants to see him again. He later tells Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) that she needs a psychiatrist, which Whitney overhears. Whitney and Fatboy then start a relationship. At a party in Tyler and Anthony's house, Tyler admits he wants to be with Whitney, and tells her that she is using Fatboy to make him jealous. She argues back, insisting that Fatboy is what she needs right now. Lonely, Tyler sleeps with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa). The next day they agree to keep their tryst a secret, but Lauren admits it to Whitney, leading Whitney to confront Tyler about his actions.

Development

The character was announced on 10 May 2011, along with Anthony, and made his first appearance on 27 June 2011.[86] Discipline heard about the part in November 2010 from his agent, so decided to audition and returned two weeks later for a workshop. At the workshop, there were six actors shortlisted to play Tyler and six shortlisted to play Anthony. The actors were paired off, and Discipline was paired with Lapinskas. A month later, Discipline attended a screen test, and after a further screen test, he found out he had got the part.[87] The younger of the brothers, Tyler was described as having a short fuse and "quick to use his fist to sort things out",[88] and the two new brothers are said to be "a couple of likely lads who are more than likely to cause a stir in Albert Square."[88] Discipline described Tyler as "very sparky and very charismatic! He can be quick to snap at certain people sometimes if they get on the wrong side of him, but he's a lovely guy. He's also very flirty when it comes to the women! He's a bit of a chap to say the least! It's not because he's seedy or he's horrible or anything like that—he genuinely enjoys chatting to women and chasing them. Even if they turned him down, it's all part of the chase and that's fun for Tyler. You can expect a lot of flirting, a lot of girls and maybe some arguments. We shall see!"[87] Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy added that the character has a lot of energy.[87] Additionally, Tyler was called a "bloke's bloke" who loves to have fun with his friends, but often ends up in trouble, especially because of women.[88] A source told Inside Soap that Tyler would quickly get to know some of the "gorgeous girls" of Walford,[89] and the two brothers would be "heart-throbs" and "ladykillers".[90] Discipline said of his casting: "It's really exciting to be able to work on a show that you have grown up watching and have followed your whole life. I am very grateful to be given this opportunity and am looking forward to working on the show and becoming an East-Ender!"[88] Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said, "Both Tony and Matt are fabulous additions to the show. Headed up by David Essex, the Moon clan are on their way to becoming an established family in the Square."[88]

Norman Simmonds,[92] played by George Layton, is the estranged son of Lydia Simmonds (Heather Chasen).[93] He is first mentioned in the episode broadcast on 9 June, when Lydia calls him a waste of space and says he will get nothing in her will. He arrives in Walford on 5 July,[94] as an "unexpected guest" at his mother's funeral.[93] Norman left EastEnders on 27 October 2011.[95]

Norman goes to Pat Evans' (Pam St Clement) house and they recognise each other, and he mentions that he is widowed again, having been married five times. Norman's niece, Janine Malloy (Charlie Brooks) is angry with him because he never bothered with his mother while she was alive. A week later, Pat calls him and asks him to contest the will against Janine who is the sole beneficiary. The next day, Norman phones up Pat, and asks her to visit him in hospital after he stepped on a rake. Pat tries to persuade Norman not to contest the will after all, and he later agrees. It is clear that Norman likes Pat, but she is oblivious to this. Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) takes a liking to Norman and asks him to dress as a Pearly King to help with her campaign to stop the community centre closing. Jean hopes that she can be his Pearly Queen, but he asks Pat to do it instead, and she reluctantly agrees.

Norman asks Pat out but she rejects him, while Jean's liking of Norman intensifies. Jean agrees to go to a skiffle event with him. However, she misunderstands, as he is actually giving her both tickets and not going with her. Jean's relative Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) confronts Norman for playing games but he insists he was never planning to go with Jean. This causes an argument between Kat, Pat and Janine, and Janine tells Norman that Pat used to be a prostitute. Norman tells Janine he is ashamed to be related to her. Jean soon becomes obsessed with Norman, constantly sending him text messages. She invites him to dinner, but he says no, saying he would not want to make a habit of it. Jean then mistakenly thinks Norman wants to live with her. He is shocked at this, and asks Kat's husband Alfie (Shane Richie) for help. Alfie makes things worse though, so Norman is forced to tell Jean that they should just be friends, as he feels she is too good for him.

When Pat discovers that her son, Simon Wicks, who lives in New Zealand, is going to lose his home, she fails to get a loan because of her age. Norman offers to help and organises a loan for her. After speaking to her great grandson Liam Butcher (James Forde), Pat decides she likes Norman and they kiss, she also asks him to stay. However, the next day Norman tells Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) that he regularly earns commission for organising loans for people. Patrick then warns Pat about this, and once Pat finds out that the terms of the loan mean if she misses a payment she could lose her house, she rejects Norman, tells him to leave and says she never wants to see him again.

Digital Spy reported that "sparks fly" when Norman runs into Pat Evans and he develops a soft spot for her.[93] The character and casting were announced on 12 June 2011.[93] Norman is described as "hapless, clumsy and unlucky in life."[93] Of his casting, Layton said "I am thrilled to be joining such a wonderful cast and crew—Norman is a great part and I'm excited to play him. I can't wait to get stuck into life in Albert Square—and hopefully the odd tipple or three in the Queen Vic!"[93]

Speaking of his time on EastEnders, Hunt said in an interview, "It was great. It was my first job out of drama school, as I only finished a few weeks before.

She finds that the dead man is alive and Rose has lied about everything. Dot goes to her actual home and Rose admits she did not want Dot to think bad of her. Dot tells Rose she may not have long to live and did not want to die before making amends. They start to bond, and Dot meets Rose's son Andrew (Ricky Grover), and there is animosity between mother and son. Before Dot is due to leave, Rose asks to spend some more time with her.

Dot kicks Rose out but she later returns, saying she does not want to lose her sister again.

Rose moves in and Dot urges her to earn money.

She then gets a trial working for Doctor Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti) as his receptionist.

Yasmin Masood[119] is the daughter of Syed Masood (Marc Elliot) and Amira Shah (Preeya Kalidas). Yasmin is mentioned in two extra scenes available on BBC Online and BBC Red Button, called Amira's Secret, on 6 and 8 September 2011, when Amira reveals that no man will want her anymore, as she has Yasmin. Yasmin appears in the second scene. Yasmin made her first appearance in EastEnders on 10 October 2011.[120]

Amira leaves Walford after finding out Syed is having a gay affair with Christian Clarke (John Partridge), though she is carrying Syed's baby, which he does not know about.[121] When Amira returns to Walford over a year later, she meets Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti), who believes she has arrived to give Syed a divorce. However, Amira reveals that she wants Syed to meet his daughter. Yusef tries to persuade her she is doing the wrong thing and that Syed will want custody of Yasmin. Amira turns up at Syed and Christian's engagement party and tells Syed he has a daughter. Amira explains she does not want Christian anywhere near Yasmin, but Syed refuses to see his daughter without Christian. However, he later meets up with Amira and Yasmin in the park. Amira tries to manipulate Syed into spending more time with her and Yasmin. Amira lies, saying that Yasmin has swallowed her ring, leading to Yasmin going for an unnecessary trip to the hospital.

Yusef, trying to tear the Masood family apart, tells Christian that Syed may not be Yasmin's father. Christian goes behind Syed's back to have a paternity test done, taking a hair from each of them. However, Yusef, who is the local GP, swaps Syed's hair sample for one of his own. The test results then appear to show that Syed is not Yasmin's father, causing consternation for those involved, though Yusef's falsification is subsequently exposed.

In August 2011, it was revealed that Amira had "[gone] ahead with the pregnancy and will come back with a little girl", and Kalidas promised a lot of drama.[122] Kalidas said Amira still loves Syed after what he did, and that Amira wants to get back with Syed as she "doesn't want her daughter to grow up without knowing her father".

Profile
Occupation Delivery driver[126]

Mark Garland,[127] played by Chris Simmons, is a love interest for Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace).[126] He first appears on 14 October 2011,[128] when he is delivering alcohol to The Queen Victoria public house, of which Kat is a landlady. Mark tries to flirt with Kat but she tells him she is married. Mark later appears in the local nightclub, R&R, where he tries to chat up Kat once again, this time succeding and they have a one-night stand. The next day he returns at the Queen Vic and reminds her about the previous night and Kat refuses to serve him and makes Mark leave. The next day he continues to phone her, but she rejects his calls.

It was reported that Kat faces temptation from Mark when she goes through marriage problems with her husband, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), after he accuses her of having an affair.[126] A source from EastEnders said, "A delivery driver who calls at the Queen Vic makes a big play for Kat—and soon she's facing serious temptation".[126] Despite Kat and Mark flirting, it is unknown whether she will succumb to his charms. The Metro described him as "hunky" and "good looking".[126]
