Sadly I dont have a clue how to do links so if someone is free to do them or free to teach me?--MayhemMario (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- I saw someone mention awards on Twitter but they said the wrong ones so I didn't find anything! But I'll update the list of awards later tonight when I'm back home. Wow, Connor's up for one? Hmm that's interesting! We do try to update character articles with awards but there's a huge backlog. But we don't use "style" or "sexiest" awards. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Martina and Shenice
Their last name is Quinn. Can't be bothered to battle with AnemoneProjectors about what he thinks should and shouldn't be included so I'm putting it here so you know that I'm right when it appears in a source that AP approves of. 144.124.121.55 (talk) 22:54, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Yusef
Is Yusef appearing in more episodes or has he gone now? AnemoneProjectors 00:12, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- The storyline hasnt played out yet, he ill be appearing again. Bleaney (talk) 01:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- OK thanks. AnemoneProjectors 01:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
He's now appearing in Digital Spy spoiler pages. So that's good. AnemoneProjectors 22:03, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
- Also Ace Bhatti was at the NTAs last night which makes me think he might be currently filming. –AnemoneProjectors– 15:23, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- He's also has had promos done which usually means he's on at least a 3 month contract. 144.124.121.55 (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- As in an official printed cast card? –AnemoneProjectors– 17:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Not a cast card that I'm aware of (but then Greg hasn't got one yet either), but he has had the official photoshoot on the Elstree lot which usually means that a character is on at least a 6 month contract. The picture can be seen on Walford Web's Wiki. 144.124.121.55 (talk) 21:29, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- I asked on DS forums and got the same answer! Wasn't you, was it? Who said it means he has a 6 month contract? –AnemoneProjectors– 21:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Nope, not me. 144.124.121.55 (talk) 02:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Dont want to spoil things for people on here, but according to DS Spoilers, Yusef & Afia will soon move onto the Square, bearing this is mind, shouldnt they be in the regular section of this list? Bleaney (talk) 12:46, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well, Connor did and we neve considered him a regular (and he wasn't). If they become regulars, we should wait until they are regulars to move them. At the moment they're not regulars, so shouldn't be moved. Remember, Grace lives on the Square too, and she's no regular (though we've listed her as one, which I'm sure we shouldn't have done, along with Harry). –AnemoneProjectors– 13:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- As I recall, we DID consider Connor a regular for a while, he was in the main list (Albeit briefly). I think it would be reasonable to presume that Yusuf will be around for at least 6 months, which would be a regular contract. After all Afia and Tamwar are planning a marriage. Bleaney (talk) 13:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- He is now the Albert Suare GP, and living at the B&B. Isn't it now fair to class him as regular? Bleaney (talk) 10:35, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
yes it is fair, but if you think about grace olumbumi lives in albert square and she works at the launderette and she isnt classed as a regular.--MayhemMario (talk) 13:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Grace hardly ever appears, and is not involved in any major storylines. Yusef is.Bleaney (talk) 13:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't recall Connor being listed as a regular, though it may have been something that I missed and then one day noticed and realised it was wrong. But I'm pretty sure people said "Connor's moving to the Square, he should be a regular" and I said no and we never moved him. Grace we did list as regular but I think it's become clear that we were wrong to. Perhaps Yusef will be more regular than Grace, but how do we define the moment when a recurring character becomes a regular one without a reliable source? –AnemoneProjectors– 13:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
i think if the character has got a photo of him/her done AND is involved in a major storyline, Yusef, we should move it to Present. if we were to do this would we just move Yusef?--MayhemMario (talk) 13:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- We dont always get official notice that a character has become regular. Indeed, we class Greg as a regular even though the press release said he was a temporary character! Bleaney (talk) 13:32, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well I don't mind Yusef being moved to regulars if people think he is one now. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- We dont always get official notice that a character has become regular. Indeed, we class Greg as a regular even though the press release said he was a temporary character! Bleaney (talk) 13:32, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
yeah lets move him!--MayhemMario (talk) 14:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- A photoshoot and a major storyline don't make someone a main character though. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
no i just thought i would say that and see if anyone agreed with me =)(But they didnt,sigh)--MayhemMario (talk) 14:16, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- I agree! Bleaney (talk) 14:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- lol well if nobody else has any objects say by this time tomorrow, then I don't mind if you guys want to move him. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well it's not quite "this time tomorrow" yet but what the hell, you did it anyway. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:11, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm pleased, though seems a bit strange now that Afia is still in recurring...! Bleaney (talk) 13:39, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's not strange. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:56, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- Really? Seeing as Afia appeared in EE before Yusef AND DigitalSpy spoilers indicate that she too moves onto the Square AND that her storylines are intinsicly linked to Yusef, meaning she is just as likely to appear? ...seems strange to me. Bleaney (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yusef is having his own storylines without Afia at the moment. If she becomes a regular then we'll move her when she is and not before. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:00, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

- I'm pleased, though seems a bit strange now that Afia is still in recurring...! Bleaney (talk) 13:39, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- And how will we know when she is? When you decide Anenome? Bleaney (talk) 09:13, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well she certainly isn't now. If there's no reliable source then we can discuss it, like we just did with Yusef, and like we've done with others. –AnemoneProjectors– 11:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- This is all so sunjective, Afia has appeared more in the past few weeks than the likes of Greg, Mercy, Fatboy etc. There may be no 'official' announcement that she's permanent. I say that if we regard Yusef as regular we should with Afia too. Bleaney (talk) 13:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

to be honest i have to agree with Bleaney as now with her profile being on the eastendres website [1] it hink we should move her as she has been in WAY more episodes than Greg but maybe not Fatboy but definetly mercy to.--MayhemMario (talk) 13:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Does having a profile necessarily make her a regular? Also appearing more doesn't as a recurring character can appear a lot for a week or two and then vanish for ages. She hasn't appeared in more episodes than Mercy, and Greg is a newer character. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:08, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- what? None of this proves either way oif she is regular or not. We can only surmise. But my best guest is that both Yusef AND Afia have been given 6 months contracts (at least) which would mean they are regular. I agree with MayhemMario. Bleaney (talk) 15:01, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
i think if they have a profile on the eastenders website, AND they have been at least with Eastenders for a month they're regular --MayhemMario (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Bleaney you are probably right. I just wish more people would comment. I just don't want to get it wrong, like we did with Harry. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's very hard to get it right all the time. Some characters are hazy as to being regular, recurring or even temporary 'guest' characters. In these instances I think we have to make educated guesses! Bleaney (talk) 17:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Can we gauge this sort of thing from the credits? From browsing around BBC Programmes for a while, it looks as though, although not always the case, generally speaking they're listed main characters first, then recurring and guest-stars. In her first appearance, Afia was credited at the end [2] but is now up with the rest of the main cast [3]. Frickative 17:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- That's not always the case, no, I think David Priors or Edward Bishop or someone like that was recently credited near the top. But never mind. I already moved Afia to regular :D –AnemoneProjectors– 17:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Mr Lister
Next week there's an unnamed market inspector played by Kemal Sylvester ([4]) - do we think this is the end of Mr Lister or could it be like when they had a different vicar only for the usual one to come back? Or should we wait for the episode to see? Yeah, we should do that. Silly me starting this really... AnemoneProjectors 15:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe Mr Lister's actor was busy and they needed an inspector? GSorby Chat with Me! 16:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- That's my thoughts as well. We'll wait and see, the new one might say that Mr Lister is on holiday or has quit or something. AnemoneProjectors 19:21, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting to note that Whitney named Mr lister as the Market Inspector in Thursday's episode as did Janine, so he seems to be still 'around' if not seen. Bleaney (talk) 16:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed that as well. I guess we'll find out more on Monday! But it means Lister is still the inspector. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- He's in Gwent! Holiday, I'm assuming. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

he is returning!! --MayhemMario (talk) 17:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, he's back next week according to Inside Soap. - JuneGloom Talk 17:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- He's credited on BBC Programmes next Monday. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Shenice and Martina
are they regulars, recurring or what? I put Shenice in departing as she is but it does not say that martine is leaving?--MayhemMario (talk) 12:22, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well the gist I got is that Martina leaves and Shenice stays with Kat and Alfie, then Martina comes back and takes Shenice away, so it looks like Shenice will stay longer than Martina. It doesn't make sense for Shenice to leave but Martina to stay. –AnemoneProjectors– 12:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- On This Morning today, I think Sharon Marshall said they're due back in a few months. But I might have heard this wrong. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:25, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
i heard that to (not that i watch it or anything....) so when they leave put them back in returning charcatres as they are OFFIcIALLY leaving arent they?--MayhemMario (talk) 16:28, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- They're probably not "officially" leaving, like Michael didn't "officially" leave. –AnemoneProjectors– 19:09, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
true but they two count as 'guests' but michael didnt we knew from the start he was going to be a regular!--MayhemMario (talk) 19:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Just leave them where they are. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Jordan
Gone or not gone? AnemoneProjectors 20:39, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe he left for christmas? --GSorbyDesroid - (Contribs!) 21:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- That's what I'm thinking. BBC Programmes says something along the lines of "Denise allows Jordan to have his Christmas wish". But he's not credited up to 7 January (all available episodes on BBC Programmes). AnemoneProjectors 22:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- And Digital Spy says "Denise crumbles when Jordan heads off to his auntie Gloria's for Christmas." AnemoneProjectors 22:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, then it's definitely clear! He will be back after new year :) --GSorbyDesroid - (Contribs!) 22:40, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- I dont think it is definately clear, dialogue in the New Years Eve episode indicated that Jordan will be staying with his aunt. I think this may be our clearest indication that he is gone... unless he is listed as appearing in any future episodes? Bleaney (talk) 14:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- BBC's credits only go a week in advance (normally) so we can only see to next Monday and he's not appearing up until then. I think you could be right, because Denise said he was going to come back but she could tell he didn't want to so let him stay, and basically it was like she realised she wouldn't be seeing him again. Maybe we should wait a couple of weeks, and if nothing has changed, then move him to past. AnemoneProjectors 14:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough, they could of course be gearing up for a re-cast. However, my hunch is the writers are tying up loose ends by getting rid of Jordan, freeing up Denise for her next storyline arc with her sister Kim (the B&B). We should wait a while, but I will be surprised if we see Jordan again any time soon (Shame really, as I would have liked to have seen the 'new' Ben meet Jordan after his time in prison). Bleaney (talk) 14:32, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think they would need to recast Jordan, but now he is considerably younger than Ben, so it's a little strange. So is Abi, but she's a good enough actress (I hope they don't recast her in 2 years). Maybe they just ran out of storylines for him. AnemoneProjectors 16:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

if he has left, why didn't they anounce his departure?? after all he is classed as main character —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.104.133.78 (talk) 15:49, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- No, he's not classed as a main character. They didn't announce Becca's departure because she wasn't a main character. But we (Wikipedia) class them as regulars. It's EastEnders that doesn't class them as regulars. AnemoneProjectors 16:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- he's got a profile on the eastenders website though, where as becca didn't! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.42.244 (talk) 10:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that's how main characters are defined! They tend to announce the arival and departure of main characters. Jordan was never announced. AnemoneProjectors 15:25, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- he's got a profile on the eastenders website though, where as becca didn't! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.42.244 (talk) 10:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
In all of the editing today, an anon has removed him from this page and added him to List of past EastEnders characters. Given that I have no knowledge one way of the other whether he's left or not, but he hasn't reappeared yet this year, I haven't reverted those edits. Stephenb (Talk) 15:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- I see you've reverted them... he's definitely coming back then? (Shame, of all the young characters annoyingly written out/changed by the new producer, he's the only one I would have got rid of!) Stephenb (Talk) 16:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I reverted it because I thought we should all agree first, and I hadn't seen your above comment, sorry! He's not credited for the next week but there aren't any Denise-related storylines coming up. It's a long time for him to be gone if he's coming back. So shall we treat him as past now until he find out he is coming back? AnemoneProjectors 16:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- That's alright... I've no idea what's best here! IMO he never stood out as a character and since Lucas has gone I can't really see the point in keeping the character (I'd prefer Libby back!), but I've seen nothing either way to say whether the departure is permanent (though it did seem like one of those hurried "just get rid of this one" character exits you get from time to time) or not. Stephenb (Talk) 17:19, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah they should bring Libby back. She can't stay in Spain forever! It did look like a somewhat hurried exit and well it was kind of implied that he wasn't going to be back at least any time soon. I said wait a few weeks, which we've done... maybe we could wait for more Denise/Kim scenes to see if they've moved on from him completely. AnemoneProjectors 18:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Im almost at the stage where I think we should put Jordan in the past. however, according to DS, we will see the new storyline arc for Denise and kim start in a week or so, so i think this will give us a clearer indication about Jordan Bleaney (talk) 13:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with all of that. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
well jordan hasn't appeared in any of kim and densies storylines so shall we count him as past?--MayhemMario (talk) 12:56, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- They haven't mentioned him so it looks like he's now forgotten. You'd think with Denise applying for divorce and other Lucas-related things coming up that Jordan would be mentioned. But it doesn't look like he's coming back. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:11, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm going to move him to past now. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. Bleaney (talk) 16:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
just a quick point, if Jordan has left how come his profile is still on the eastenders website? me thinks if he was gone they would have removed it, we know they've edited the charcters recently because Yusef and Afia now have profiles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.15.90 (talk) 07:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- They tend to add new pages but forget to update in other places. –AnemoneProjectors– 08:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
on the BBC website they moved him to past =)--MayhemMario (talk) 09:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Good job we already moved him to past from here then –AnemoneProjectors– 09:31, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Martina and Shenice Quinn
Martina and Shenice have now left the show so I think their names should be taken off the list of recurring characters and put into the list of past characters. Tomjovanovic, 11.27, 12 March 2011
we have already had this discussion practically right above your new section.--MayhemMario (talk) 12:58, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, please check for existing discussions first! They technically haven't left because they'll be back. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:37, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Gossip but not a reliable source
Someone has said on Digital Spy's forums[5] that Thomas Law is filming again and Ann Mitchell is playing Tanya and Rainey's mother (we already have her as playing Cora). Just wanted to say that. It can't be added here though because a forum isn't a reliable source, so don't. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh yeah and Rainey is back too. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- OMG YES! Rainie's my favourite!! Looking forward to that! :D GSorby Chat with Me! 10:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- I SAID IT CAN'T BE ADDED!!!!! I meant to ALL articles! –AnemoneProjectors– 11:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh dear, sorry :L GSorby Chat with Me! 11:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- lol sorry for shouting :) –AnemoneProjectors– 12:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh no I was saying oh dear because it was the forums not th site, I was 'oh dearing' at myself lol! GSorby Chat with Me! 12:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

just checked the EE spoilers (secrte source!) and its true. Rainie is returning and Cora is there mum but nothing about thomas law =)--MayhemMario (talk) 12:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Still not a reliable source. –AnemoneProjectors– 19:39, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
just rechecked them, im now not entirley sure as he is not entirley sure if it is true or not i will delve into it more...--MayhemMario (talk) 19:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

He's the soaps editor!!! :p If he finds out and is first I'm sure it would be on soaps newsfeed by the morning.RAIN*the*ONE BAM 20:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Danny K is Daniel Kilkelly. You see his name every day on DS. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Rainie confirmed by Franks' website - since February! –AnemoneProjectors– 22:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Good stuff, She and Julie should have scenes. They were both in Family Affairs at the same time, would make a weird watch.RAIN*the*ONE BAM 22:52, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Rainie confirmed by Franks' website - since February! –AnemoneProjectors– 22:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Well Danny K has confirmed Rainie and Cora Cross, but no word on Peter Beale. –AnemoneProjectors– 00:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- By the way where is he getting all these weird names from? First Shenice and now Cora? Nobody has these names in real life! –AnemoneProjectors– 00:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- i know a person called shencie but not cora. Who is 'he'--MayhemMario (talk) 17:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- He? Cora? Cora's Tanya and Rainie's mother. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:27, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Sal Martin
Anyone thinking of removing Sal from this list should check http://www.tvtv.co.uk/tvtv/web/programdetails.vm?programmeId=54198011&lang=en&epgView=list&groupid=0&tref=Program :-) –AnemoneProjectors– 19:59, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- sorry, i dont understand. She is still appearing why remove her? It even says on there she is returning! The BBC dont announce when she is returning and leaving as she is a recurring charcater.--MayhemMario (talk) 17:15, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- Because someone recently removed her, assuming she was no longer recurring. I just wanted people to see that she is still recurring. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:39, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
okay!--MayhemMario (talk) 17:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
A few things...
It looks like a few characters are returning.... Ashely seem to be... 1 Seb seems to be.... 2 Rainie seems to be... 1
Just to let you know!
--MayhemMario (talk) 17:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ashley Chubb? He hasn't left... Seb we knew about, he is already listed. Rainie we already knew about, she is already listed. And this would have been better placed on Talk:List of EastEnders characters because it concerns that page rather than the overall project. :S But never mind, it didn't even need to be mentioned. –AnemoneProjectors– 22:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
OH WELL.... I wasnt meaning that (sigh...) i meant they were returning upon returning. If you click on the links it shows that Rainie is returning after the wedding, seb will be on our screens again and ashley will be to. I knwo they are either returning r present but they are RETURNING!!!
DISCUSSION MOVING HERE..... Talk:List of EastEnders characters --MayhemMario (talk) 19:56, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Right it is here! Woooo!!!--MayhemMario (talk) 19:57, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I don't think we were planning on removing them either. –AnemoneProjectors– 22:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
References
I was wondering if we should leave the references in for present characters, then the whole list could be referenced, as lists should be. Anybody agree? –AnemoneProjectors– 19:03, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- I thought that to, i think that would be good and for guest/recurrign characters if we can find any!--MayhemMario (talk) 15:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- I meant them as well, as they are a subsection of present characters. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:28, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- I totally am for it though for ian beale it would be quite hard....--MayhemMario (talk) 17:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, it would be extremely easy to reference that Adam Woodyatt plays Ian Beale. –AnemoneProjectors– 21:50, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Connor
Gone or not gone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.29.69 (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- No appearances in the next week. Storyline implied he'll be moving back to Balham. AnemoneProjectors 20:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- But Arinze Kene attended the NTAs last night with the rest of the cast so that could mean he's currently filming - might not though. –AnemoneProjectors– 15:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- Difficult to say as Arinze writes for E20, so he could be there just for that, Does he get mentioned in any spoilers? Otherwise I think we could assume he's gone... Bleaney (talk) 17:27, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- I forgot about that, but in the cast photo, it was just cast, not producers or writers etc. But he would be recognised as cast. Hmm very hard to say. I've not seen him in any spoilers, though I tend not to read the Digital Spy ones. I only check the credits on the BBC Programmes site, which is a week in advance, and the BBC Press Office, which has had no mention of him though it's always rather vague. I think we should consider him past until we find out otherwise. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- No mention of him on the DS Spoilers, so I guess we could assume he's gone. However, there's no mention of Carol either, so perhaps we should wait until her storylines have definately 'moved on' from Connor, as Whitney's have. Bleaney (talk) 12:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

As soon as whitney prostitute story is done hopefuly carol will be more in the centre so just wait and see.--MayhemMario (talk) 13:53, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm feeling inclined to move Connor to past now. If we're wrong we can just move him back but it did seem pretty final. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

sorry how do you know?--MayhemMario (talk) 17:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- I told him earlier. :) Also, it's mentioned on tvtv.co.uk and in All About Soap magazine. - JuneGloom Talk 18:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, JuneGloom told me on Twitter, so I checked tvtv and he was listed. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
the episode which he is currently set to be in is (I THINK!) his last one! Should we put him in departing?--MayhemMario (talk) 20:24, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- It might be, but we should wait and see. I don't think a plot spoiler is the best of sources to say a character is departing. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:31, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Seeing as the actor who plays connor is due to appear in Hollyoaks, I think we can safely assume he is gone now! Bleaney (talk) 11:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- It was totally clear from the storyline that he wouldn't be back anyway. But ok. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thankful he is not sticking around Hollyoaks for long. I still think Connor's last scenes with Carol were helarious. I guess there was no reception info for Carol's dirty comment after all?Rain the 1 BAM 14:33, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Harry Gold
Why is Harry Gold still listed as recurring? He last appeared on 9 November 2010, over 5 months ago, and there's been nothing at all to suggest he will return. 88.108.172.28 (talk) 23:43, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- We were thinking he'd come back because Darren and Jodie got engaged. As it's been so long, we should probably remove him and add him back if we find out he is returning. –AnemoneProjectors– 08:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, my hunch is that he will still return at some point, but it has been ages, and theres no sign of him in upcoming storylines. Bleaney (talk) 11:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Done –AnemoneProjectors– 16:57, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Eddie Moon
Looking at the scripts peeks on the EastEnders website Eddie is around on 26 May just want to let you know so that means his children are going to be announced soon!!--MayhemMario (talk) 10:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- They're probably just about making a decision on who will play them, as we know that Matt Willis was in line for one of the roles. So yeah should be soon. –AnemoneProjectors– 11:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
STOP PUTTING SAMANTHA WOMACK'S TO TEMPORARY DEPARTURE
Look Samatha Womack is leaving EastEnders for the minute okay? She hasn't definetly comfirmed that she is returning so until we know, leave her as departing. If we left her with tempoary departure we would hae to put peggy mitchell in returning characters as she said she might return. I dont mean to be mean (lol) but it is getting quite annoying there being a war on people changing it and changing it back.=)--MayhemMario (talk) 15:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Just to say does this mean she is returning? [6] Just asking! MayhemMario (talk) 18:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Denise/Kim/Daphne
Asking this here as a more central place - it has been asked on my talk page if it was mentioned that Denise, Kim and Daphne are half sisters. The articles on Denise and Kim say that they are half sisters and so is Daphne. I can't remember if this was explicitely stated on the show or just assumed, but the EE website says they're sisters. Even if they are half sisters, all we know is that Daphne is a sister. Why assume that she's a half sister to both of them? She could be a half sister to one and a full sister to the other. So I think we should list them all as sisters, not half sisters, unless someone can shed some light on why we have them as half sisters already. –AnemoneProjectors– 12:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- If Denise's mother couldn't remember the name of Denise's dad (just the band he was in), she was very unlikely to have had two daughters with him. It's possible that Kim and Daphne are full sisters. I'm sure Denise has made a comment before about Kim being her half sister. 88.108.172.28 (talk) 23:43, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had forgotten about that storyline. So what do we do about Kim and Daphne? –AnemoneProjectors– 08:13, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Sorry jsut to say Denise is a half sister to Daphne and Kim. Kim and Daphne are sisters as when Daphne shows up to the funeral she said 'all right sis'. MayhemMario (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- "Sorry jsut to say Denise is a half sister to Daphne and Kim." we know. "Kim and Daphne are sisters as when Daphne shows up to the funeral she said 'all right sis'." "All right sis" is pretty meaningless. Why wouldn't Kim call Denise 'sis' informally too? –AnemoneProjectors– 18:54, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- oh okay... just to say Kim and Denise's profile say there sisters. MayhemMario (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Did you read my first comment, when I wrote "but the EE website says they're sisters"? –AnemoneProjectors– 22:41, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Lucy Beale again.....
We have already discussed this ( i think ) but i think we should leave Lucy Beale on characetrs being recast. The BBC actaully announced they are recasting her so maybe they're just going through a long process or soemthing. Like Bianca Jackson she will be returning just not any time soon. MayhemMario (talk) 14:22, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- What like Sharon Watts, who was definitely returning in 2006 when she left, and five years later still no sign of her? Producers change their minds, and we cant leav her in the returning section indefinitely. It's inaccurate to do so. If and when a recast is announced, she will be moved to returning/future, but until then, she should stay as a past character imo. Plus as you already mentioned, this has been discussed before, and a decision was made. There is no reason to revisit this as there is no new information.GunGagdinMoan 14:35, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- oh right okay i get it now! You have explained it all! MayhemMario (talk) 14:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I definately think the EE producers have changed their minds on Lucy. When Melissa Suffield was sacked, it was implied in various sources that they would recast Lucy quickly as they had some big storylines coming up for her. I think that they changed their minds over time, and I thin tha because they dropped Peter as well, this means that Lucy wont be returning soon either. However i'm sure that they will both return at some point. Bleaney (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I think they probably tried to recast her but nobody was good enough, so they decided to scrap the recast. Just what I reckon happened! We'll never know, probably. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:17, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

- Sharon Marshall said on This Morning the other day he was going for his GCSE exams and would be back. With the same head. –AnemoneProjectors– 21:34, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Character corrections and other stuff
Okay, on Carmel Jackson's page, it says Husband - Matthew Jackson (1989-91), and on Matthew Jackson's page (well section) it says Wife - Carmel Jackson (1989-?), Any thoughts GSorby - Talk! 19:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- They both left in 1989, they'd split up by then, according to their articles. There's no mention of them divorcing. Gungadin might know more. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Dunno who added that to Matthew's page. We would have no idea if they divorced or not in 1991 because no one would have mentioned it. The Roberts family had all long gone by then. GunGagdinMoan 20:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Albert and Lou
The article here says that Albert and Lou's marriage began in 1939 and ended in 1970. But Albert Beale died in 1965 which would dissolve their marriage after he died. It also said that Harry Beale was the first legitmate child born to Albert and Lou, but he was born in 1936. So shouldn't their marriage be from 1936-1970 and not from 1939-1970?

Edward Bishop
he seems to be appearing regularly atm, just thought i'd say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.20.62 (talk) 10:47, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not really. He was in two episodes recently, but he's not credited for the rest of the week or the start of next week. He's still a recurring character. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:51, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
ok cool :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.20.62 (talk) 10:54, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
edward is starritng to get much more regualr than others i agree becuause i have ssen the spoilers for a month in advance (secret source!) but i dont think he merits his own little block on the list of eastenders characters 2010 if thats what you were saying. But then maybe he does? hmmm...--MayhemMario (talk) 20:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- He doesn't, and he's not a regular character. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:32, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
i think that we should give him a block as i have 1 refernce for him from june brwon's nterview with digital spy and he seems to be apearing more.--MayhemMario (talk) 17:14, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- We all have that reference, Gungadin and I have been discussing it on Dot's talk page. I will find the relevant stuff if you like and move him out. –AnemoneProjectors– 18:06, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
I think that it wuld be good. =)--MayhemMario (talk) 18:10, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

- personal opinion yes but probaby the decsion every one will come to is no..... MayhemMario (talk) 15:29, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think he is, no. He's still just a recurring character. Although he's not always listed near the bottom of the credits now, he doesn't have a profile on the EastEnders site, and I still think that's our best way of working out who is a main character. If Edward leaves, it won't be announced. We should see what happens in his upcoming episodes. IMO he's on par with Grace and Harry Gold. –AnemoneProjectors– 19:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes I agree wit AP on his opinion! Well hasnt Harry Gold left well actualy like you said If Edward leaves, it won't be announced. So it wasnt going to be for Harry. Grace went about 8 months without appearing and Harry has only been gone 6! But about Harry returning for the wedding thing i dont think that's going to happen as Hawkins is leaving now MayhemMario (talk) 19:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- We've put Harry as past now yeah. You never know, he might make a comeback to tie in with Vanessa's departure. Are you sure Grace didn't appear for 8 months? The choir was only last December... –AnemoneProjectors– 19:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- yes i know but she was ill for it and couldn't attend! MayhemMario (talk) 19:51, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

- Dair play. Of course, as discussed many times, there is no definate way of knowing who is a perm cast member and who is recurring. However, if he has no BBC profile AND he's not appearing at the top of the credits etc, i'm happy for him to stay recurring... for now! Bleaney (talk) 13:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

- I saw this last week but didn't feel the need to mention it as technically she's not "returning" she's "present, recurring" so there's no changes. –AnemoneProjectors– 09:04, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

ok cool --Mustbeemo789 (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
whys Jim been removed from the departing characters section? --Mustbeemo789 (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- On This Morning, Sharon Marshall said he'll still make occasional appearances, so it seems no actual change. He's only leaving Albert Square, not the programme. –AnemoneProjectors– 20:05, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
so they've downgraded him to recurring status then?--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- In EastEnders they might have, but we don't because we cover the character as a whole, not just the most recent episode, so we'll leave him as a regular. –AnemoneProjectors– 23:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

i personally would move Jim to recurring but thats just me, it's not unheard of for regulars to be downgraded to recurring. it happened to Harold Bishop in Neirbours.--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 10:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- I think after tonight, we should move him to past until we hear otherwise, because his departure was reported, and Bardon may not be well enough to appear again. This is why he hasn't been around much at all lately. Although the source doesn't say he's actually leaving for good, it only speculates on a return: "Jim could still be shown in his care home, if Bardon's health permits him to film scenes". But we shouldn't change him from regular to recurring because the majority of the time he was a regular. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- Harold Bishop was not downgraded. The actor just went part time. - JuneGloom Talk 11:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Lydia Symonds

Rainie and Cora
I do disagree that Rainie is a regular character as it remains to be seen. She's been recurring up until now. Cora is probably only a guest character. What do others think? –AnemoneProjectors– 13:07, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

- Okay, a page on Walford Web says that Ann Mitchell said: "As a lifelong fan of EastEnders I am thrilled to join the cast.

- Well, I think that if we don't have sources, we shouldn't be taking a position either way. Extrapolating from an "indication" such as a profile page still constitutes "advanc[ing] a position not clearly advanced by the sources." Frickative 20:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- That would mean we should just have present characters, not classified by regular or recurring. Gungadin, we're talking about present characters, for which they are apparently giving profiles to those who are regular and not to those who aren't. When they changed the site, the majority of characters' profiles were deleted and never restored. I'm not saying we should now refer to them as recurring. This could only apply to present characters. I'm not saying the BBC website is the only way of classifying, just that when there is a lack of sources stating "so and so is a recurring character" then it's the best we have. –AnemoneProjectors– 22:48, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

one last thing, i do beleve Raine was anounced because i remember reading the article on the EE website :)--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 10:14, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- You mean when she only appeared in two episodes? Usually when characters are officially announced, they come with a quote from the actor and the executive producer. We have none of these for Rainie. All we have is this which isn't an announcement. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:05, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
no it wasn't that, it was on the official eastenders website and when i read it back in 2007 it sounds like Raine was gonna be a regular.--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 19:14, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
recurring characters
someone said in a previous thread about recurring charcters apearring near the top of the credits, say like dot and edward were in the final scene and dot's name appeared first. does this mean as edward is recurring his name would appear near the end of the cast list or not after dot's? --Mustbeemo789 (talk) 11:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Edward's name appears with the rest of the cast at the moment, but so does Grace's and so did Harry Gold's. But I'm not sure we should consider Edward a main character because I feel the best way to decide with present characters is the EastEnders website - non-main characters don't generally have profiles there. –AnemoneProjectors– 11:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
like connor, becca and todd? --Mustbeemo789 (talk) 15:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah those are good examples too. Well I'm not sure what we did with Todd but Connor and Becca would be characters we never considered regular whose names appeared higher up in credits. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:30, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
eastenders don't update there website that reguarly, i mean glenda mitchell left months ago but she's still in the current character section or she was last time i looked. so it gets very hard to know whats going on sometimes :/ i personally think that once jim is gone edward may become a main character to keep dot's storylines going --Mustbeemo789 (talk) 18:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

- Yes there was, it's here,Wikipedia talk:WikiProject EastEnders under the title,'Home section in infobox'. We decided to get rid of it as it was pointless.MayhemMario 16:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
ok thanks, am are you an admin?, if you are could you tell me how to appeal a block, my accont has been blocked for ages and id like to appeal it but i dont know how:/ 86.43.185.250 (talk) 15:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- what do you mean by a 'admin' and what is your account called?MayhemMario 17:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- By admin the IP means us sysops, people like me and AP who can block and unblock people, protect and unprotect pages, delete and undelete pages etc etc (list is pretty much endless!) IP to find out how to appeal a block please read Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks and follow the instructions on the blocked accounts talk page.--5 albert square (talk) 19:53, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
I asked MayhemMario but not you 5 Albert Square!, ya thats what i meant MayhemMario so are you and admin? 86.44.209.216 (talk) 21:14, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I know the question was directed at Mario, Mario isn't an admin but I am. If you follow the process that the link above gives with your blocked account someone will review the block for you.--5 albert square (talk) 23:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Ok well i have sent an email appeal to the email address given on Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks for users who cannot edit their own talk page, when will i know if my appeal is successful or not?, i read the whole guide to appealing blocks and i have followed all the instructions given 86.44.208.78 (talk) 13:38, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know I'm afraid, I would hope it wouldn't be too long. In future, questions like this, please ask on user talk pages not article ones :)--5 albert square (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Mandy Salter
Hmm, someone added that Mandy Salter is returning, but the reference doesn't exist so I reverted. However, a Google news search for Nicola Stapleton brings up the article, even though it doesn't work. So perhaps it is true. Let's wait for a non-broken reference. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Mandy Salter is returning. Metro broke an embargo so have taken the article down. I know it can't be added in again without a reference, but I assure you that it wasn't an attempt to fake one. :) 144.124.121.55 (talk) 16:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Whoops! I added all that stuff to her article too!MayhemMario 17:42, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- I realised that they probably broke an embargo and had to remove the article. So be ready to update at midnight :-) Sorry for accusing you of faking a reference, have seen it so many times before though. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- No way! Oh my God! This could not be better news for me. Never thought this day would come! GunGagdinMoan 17:35, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- I thought you might be happy about it! Now, let's speculate on why she's returning... ;) –AnemoneProjectors– 17:42, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Something to do with Pat perhaps? Her mum is already on the cast in the form of Shirley Wicks! Now, all we need is Hattie and Sam back and Clyde, Sharon, Grant and Michelle, and we can have a 90s reunion.GunGagdinMoan 17:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

EastEnders is going forward not backwards to the 90s!!! the last thing they need is a truck load of returnees, returns should only happen in moderation 86.44.209.216 (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Says you, gladly I dont share you opinion. I want the returnees. They're the only good characters EE can lay claim to these days.GunGagdinMoan 23:09, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- How odd if she is, with Shirley there. Only seen a few episodes on that channel that did re-runs.. she was pretty ratty in EE. Shame though, I always hoped she would be brought back into Hollyoaks. :(Rain the 1 BAM 22:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I love Roxy! Leave the Roxy alone!!! lol GSorby - Talk! 11:20, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Im very interested to see this character i have seen her article alot but never saw her on the show so im actually kind of looking forward to this returnee, maybe they might bring back Sam Mitchell too they were good friends weren't they? 86.44.208.78 (talk) 13:43, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sam and Mandy were friends, though in setting up Daniella Westbrook's first exit from EE, Sam fell out with practically everyone cos she was acting better than everyone else and she was cheating on Ricky. Sam and Mandy went out clubbing and Mandy got in a huff because Sam and her new friends abandoned Mandy and she came back to Mark's flat one night drenched cos she had to walk home in the rain. From then on Mandy was out to get Sam and she was threatening to tell ricky that Sam was having an affair, but Hattie threatened to kill Mandy if she did anything to upset Sam and Ricky. Cue some amusing scenes of Hattie terrorising Mandy around Albert Square while Mandy kept trying to get Ricky on his own! I dont know if she succeeded in the end or not, but that was pretty much the end of Sam and Mandy's friendship and by this time Mandy had latched on to Aidan anyway.GunGagdinMoan 14:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
digital spy has made life easier
i dunno if your all aware but on digital spy they list future arrivals and departures on all the soaps, an they mark guest characters with a G. so if you look there you know who to classify as a guest :)--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 09:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes they've done that for years but they don't always update it or get it right. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

- Well DS does the leavers thing, they don't always know what's what, but it doesn't get updated very often. And Alfie's page is the BBC. They're the ones who shouldn't be making mistakes!–AnemoneProjectors– 14:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Recurring/present cast
I know we seem to debate whether characters are present or recurring pretty much every week on here, but I wanted to query Lydia Simmonds (Janine's gran) She only started appearing in April and leaves (trying not to reveal spoilers) in the next week or so. Therefore she hasn't made the 6 month timeframe which we have used in the past in determining present V recurring characters. With this in mind, shouldn't she be moved to the recurring list? Bleaney (talk) 14:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I agree now, but I.M.O. she's leaving so soon there's no point.!MayhemMario 16:04, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- But i'll move her, so this discussion can be closed.MayhemMario 16:04, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I disagree. We added "guest" for those appearing in only a small handful of episodes, like Ashley Chubb. And Lydia's not a recurring character. We never said a character has to appear for 6 months. –AnemoneProjectors– 21:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- But she clearly isnt a permanent character. the likes of Connor Stanley and Becca Swanson appeared much more than her and for longer and were not considered permanent cast. Bleaney (talk) 13:55, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- It's "bold, revert, discuss", not "bold, revert, revert". but yes, you're right. Also, she has no page on the EE website. Why did we assume she was a regular? What do we do about future characters? Calling Lydia "guest" seems wrong though, because I think she's bigger than a guest character. –AnemoneProjectors– 15:25, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think there will ever be any fool-proof way of determining whether a character is regular or recurring, we will only know for sure if we can see that a character will be appearing regularly for at least 6 months consecutively (6 months is the standard shortest contract that the BBC give to actors appearing on EE). I think we assumed she was a regular as her arrival was 'announced' on the BBC website, but evidently this is not a complete guide. I think it was fair for us to assume that she was going to be a regular as the original BBC press-release implied that her storylines would be longlasting, but obviously theyre not! I think we are always going to have to look at it on a case by case basis, and we probably will get it wrong from time to time! Bleaney (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, case-by-case is probably best! Three months is the shortest contract, I think. That's what Ricky Norwood, Emer Kenny and Sam Attwater had before they were extended to six, but that was even before they had appeared. –AnemoneProjectors– 22:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- I think that may have been because they were E20 characters, generally its 6 months (infact thats a pretty standard contract for all the British soaps) Less than a 6 month stint usually denotes that the character was never part of the permanent cast.Bleaney (talk) 11:18, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Arinze Kene was also on a 3 month contract at one point, and he wasn't part of the E20 cast. They do do 3 month contracts at EE. 86.158.128.242 (talk) 16:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

lydia is a regular, if she was recurring she would only have appeared every now and again. a recurring character mite only appear in 7 episodes in 6 months for example. lately whenever janine has appeared lydia has been there :)--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 07:59, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Of course they do have contracts that are shorter than 6 months. But a 6 month contract is generally regarded as the shortest contract for someone to be considered part of the permanent cast. And no , Lydia wasn't a regular - She appeared in less scenes than Edward Bishop and never was never regarded as a regular.Bleaney (talk) 15:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Bleaney.MayhemMario 17:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
speaking of edward, he's been moved to past. are we 100% sure he's left?? afterall he may return when dot returns to our screen ;/--Mustbeemo789 (talk) 16:26, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I think he's gone, but if he returns, we should wait and for confirmation before moving him back, rather than moving him back now only to find out he will never return. Otherwise, he'll end up being there forever. –AnemoneProjectors– 21:45, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I doubt he will be back, spoilers indicate that Dot becomes a hypocondriac over the summer, then ends up reuniting with her long lost sister, no mention of Edward. I think things have moved on without him. Bleaney (talk) 13:44, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, i'm on Bleaney's side again. Edward is NOT mentioned in the credits for ages A.T.M. so hes past for now.MayhemMario 15:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Ricky Butcher
Ricky hasn't left yet for Sid Owen's year off. I know Twitter can't be used as a reference, but Sid has said he's filming until July (meaning he'll be on sceen until August/September), and Ricky has also appeared in a "script peek" on the official EE website for an episode on 8 July 2011. (Janine:At least let me have some breakfast?/Ricky:No, Pat'll be back any minute!/Janine:God Ricky, isn't it time you grew a pair?). This also ties in with Sid's contract durations (Jan-Jul 08, Jul 08-Jul 09, Jul 09-Jul 10, Jul 10-Jul 11). 86.158.128.242 (talk) 16:46, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well that means he's still departingMayhemMario 10:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- But given that none of the EE cast are supposed to have things like Twitter accounts we don't know that is genuine? In any case we can't take Twitter as a reliable source, sorry.--5 albert square (talk) 11:04, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well i mean he's only in Dubai for 3 weeks so he cant be gone for ever and he does appear in a script peek.MayhemMario 12:08, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- OK well the official BBC site obviously counts as a reliable source. Where's the link to that?--5 albert square (talk) 11:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- If the Twitter isn't verified then it certainly cannot be used for anything. The official website is better. (Although they have made plenty of mistakes recently.)Rain the 1 BAM 11:36, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've just searched the script peak section and Ricky is not mentioned. - JuneGloom Talk 12:00, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- The spript peek section gets updated almost daily with a new one and they don't archive them. The one I'm talking about appeared on there on 10 May. 86.158.128.242 (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- It's funny. If AnemoneProjectors had seen the script peek on that day, you'd all automatically believe him that Ricky hasn't left yet and I wouldn't have to jump through hoops trying to prove it to you. 86.158.128.242 (talk) 14:48, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- If AP couldn't back it up, then I doubt it would be used. I'll have a quick check to see if the page was archived anywhere. - JuneGloom Talk 16:24, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Erm excuse me, but you are using an IP adress showing you just began editing. If AP saw it he would have added it, perhaps even archived it. Looks all a little too convenient that it is gone IMO.

Erm, excuse me Raintheone, you have no idea what you're talking about. I do have an account but don't want my edits associated with it anymore. It's not a crime to edit as an IP, and I have been editing Wikipedia on and off for six years, thank you very much. AP and Gungadin will know who I am. I appreciate that Wikipedia has several (often contradicting) guidelines that you all have to abide by, I was merely pointing out that had AnemoneProjectors (unofficial overlord of EastEnders-related articles) had mentioned the script snippet and said that Ricky hadn't left yet, everyone would take his word for it instantly. MayhemMario, I clearly stated that it's not on the EE website anymore, though with your apparent stunning intellect, you thought you'd check again and then add absolutely nothing to the discussion. I feel sorry for the other members of WikiProject EastEnders that you're my replacement. 86.158.128.242 (talk) 20:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I came straight to the talk page to point it out and will be proven right given time. I can't count the amount of times this has happened, I'm sure AP will back me up that I've never made anything up and everything I have said has eventually been proven to be true. I haven't continually made snide comments about AP, and I do appreciate a lot of his work.

- It's unfortunate that the script peek has now gone, but it makes sense that Ricky hasn't left as he's only gone to Dubai for three weeks. What could happen that would make him stay for a whole year? That's my only comment on the situation for now. I have two days of edits to catch up on and am extremely tired right now :-) –AnemoneProjectors– 00:42, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
