When Louise decides to pull out of the school showcase, Alexandra asks Travis to sign her up to replace Louise as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> and later Alexandra tells Louise that she is now playing the part but only because Mr Pryce was desperate and she did not really want it. Bex tells Louise that Alexandra is lying but Louise believes Alexandra.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> During rehearsal, Alexandra's acting is wooden but she confidentially kisses Travis, though Mr Pryce tells her she should act shy. Alexandra overhears Bex telling Shakil that Alexandra will mess up in the showcase so decides to take revenge.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a>
Before Bex's performance at the showcase, Madison and Alexandra break a guitar string and when Bex looks for one in the classroom, Madison and Alexandra pin Bex up against a wall. Shakil hears the bullying through headphones and intentionally turns up the volume through the soundboard for everyone to hear; exposing them. Alexandra and Madison are publicly shamed and humiliated after Louise smugly tells them that they are caught out. They are then angrily ordered by Mrs Lund to her office.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> Louise and Bex make statements against Alexandra and Madison to Mrs Lund and Louise realises what they are really like.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a> Madison and Alexandra receive external exclusions and are banned from the school prom.

Alexandra and Madison turn up and Louise berates them and their actions and Alexandra pushes Louise onto lit candles, setting off the fire alarms and sprinklers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a> Louise is in agony as Mr Pryce and other students help her by cooling the burns with water. Keegan is sickened by Madison and Alexandra's actions and drags them onto the stage, where Alexandra denies it being their fault. The police arrive to get statements where Madison and Alexandra turn against each other as Alexandra tries to blame Madison. Madison and Alexandra are both arrested for <a href="/facts/Grievous_bodily_harm/9HT8QA2M">GBH</a> and students insult the pair as they are escorted out.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a> Mr Pryce visits Bex and Sonia and tells them that Madison and Alexandra will be prosecuted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> A few days later, Sharon finds out that they have both been expelled from school.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a>

The character is a new love interest for Shirley.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:171" href="#fn:171">171</a> <a href="/facts/Inside_Soap/CKY5HS0F">Inside Soap</a> called the character a "burly eastern European fella" and speculated on whether Shirley would see him as someone to depend on and who would become a soulmate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:172" href="#fn:172">172</a> The showing of graffiti reading "Poles go home" following the Polish-themed night was criticised by some viewers as showing anti-<a href="/facts/Brexit/M80B3fIg">Brexit</a> bias from the BBC, however, writer Leo Richardson defended his script, saying "That story was rooted in reality. That's how the main soaps generate a lot of their stories. A diverse array of writers, from all over the country get together with their story team and producers on a regular basis and they talk about what they're seeing. [...] Now, more than ever, in a divided world, it is the job of artists, of writers, of TV comedy and drama, not only to entrain us, but to reflect the things happening in our world, on screen. To show us not only what is familiar, but also wildly different. To reflect the lives of people who are underrepresented, so we can understand those who we didn't before. If getting a brief glimpse into the mind of a man [Konrad] struggling to find his place in the country he lives in makes you uncomfortable then perhaps you needed to see it."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:173" href="#fn:173">173</a>

After Abi's funeral, Lauren takes Louie and walks past Josh implying that she leaves without him.
Tasha Hegarty of <a href="/facts/Digital_Spy/4v0n6K9W">Digital Spy</a> referred to Josh as a <a href="/facts/Clark_Kent/1mQylpL6">Clark Kent</a> lookalike who also resembles <a href="/facts/Hollyoaks/XEQRSd4I">Hollyoaks</a> character <a href="/facts/Will_Savage/tuKduUoQ">Will Savage</a> (James Atherton), adding "Will Savage's face isn't one you can trust, is it? So, that's the question: is the photocopier guy completely innocent? Or is he up to something far shadier? Like maybe he's actually involved with Max's revenge plot, which would make the whole Clark Kent look a brilliant way of tricking Lauren (and the viewers)".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:207" href="#fn:207">207</a>

He also commented, "In fact, in a pretty lacklustre year for the show, his scenes actually turned out to be one thing fans didn't have much to complain about."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:233" href="#fn:233">233</a> In May 2017, Laura-Jayne Tyler from <a href="/facts/Inside_Soap/CKY5HS0F">Inside Soap</a> hoped that she would see more of Woody, writing, "Like Danny Dyer, Lee Ryan has the natural charm and twinkle in his eye that's an essential requirement for the manager of the Queen Vic. He's been fun to have around these last few weeks. Don't be a stranger, Woody!"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:234" href="#fn:234">234</a> In August of the same year, Ryan was longlisted for Best Newcomer at the <a href="/facts/Inside_Soap_Awards/3h1q7ueI">Inside Soap Awards</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:235" href="#fn:235">235</a> He made the viewer-voted shortlist,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:236" href="#fn:236">236</a> but lost out to <a href="/facts/Julia_Goulding/TD60pqf4">Julia Goulding</a>, who portrays <a href="/facts/Shona_Ramsey/wWAqmxz6">Shona Ramsey</a> in <a href="/facts/Coronation_Street/dmnQfBy2">Coronation Street</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:237" href="#fn:237">237</a>

Freda, played by <a href="/facts/Leila_Hoffman/m3xhHAJJ">Leila Hoffman</a>, appears in two episodes on 22 and 26 May 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:238" href="#fn:238">238</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:239" href="#fn:239">239</a> She later reappears in October 2019.
Freda is an elderly woman whom <a href="/facts/Denise_Fox/VGQmCtAQ">Denise Fox</a> (<a href="/facts/Diane_Parish/tEzrzhyn">Diane Parish</a>) meets when she is taking her English literature <a href="/facts/GCSE/ET4h88cb">GCSE</a> exam and she finds out Freda is taking five exams—English, English literature, French, history and maths. After the exam, Freda buys Denise a drink and says that although she found the exam tricky, she was enjoyed studying and that even if she fails, it was worth it as it is better than cleaning people's houses, which is her job.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:240" href="#fn:240">240</a> Freda and Denise later sit their final exam and afterwards, Freda tells Denise that her mind went blank and asks how Denise did. Denise collapses and Freda tries to talk to her.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:241" href="#fn:241">241</a>

Martin takes pity on Freda, however, and instead uses takings from the fruit stall on the market to pay Ben.
Cydney Yeates of the <a href="/facts/Daily_Star_(United_Kingdom)/MoSMEfGz">Daily Star</a> said that Freda stole the "soap limelight" and fans wanted her as a regular character.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:242" href="#fn:242">242</a>

<h2 id="ted-murray">Ted Murray</h2>

Ted Murray, played by <a href="/facts/Christopher_Timothy/zWvv33Jo">Christopher Timothy</a>, first appears in the episode broadcast on 26 May 2017,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:243" href="#fn:243">243</a> along with his wife <a href="/facts/Joyce_Murray_(EastEnders)/PyQL9wp7">Joyce Murray</a>, played by <a href="/facts/Maggie_Steed/jnSpqUbP">Maggie Steed</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:244" href="#fn:244">244</a> The character made a previously unannounced departure from the show on 27 September 2019.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:245" href="#fn:245">245</a>

Ted and Joyce are a married couple, who arrive in Albert Square after being rehoused. They finish packing up their flat at Walford Towers and arrive at their new home. Ted tells Joyce that <a href="/facts/Dot_Branning/GSSTcIEo">Dot Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/June_Brown/r7BuEHnh">June Brown</a>) is their neighbour, who they already know, and Ted mentions that Dot's son <a href="/facts/Nick_Cotton/mAjNmRLK">Nick Cotton</a> (<a href="/facts/John_Altman_(actor)/X2UE46Bx">John Altman</a>) used to be friends with their son, Alan. Joyce is upset that Ted has brought a box with them after agreeing to "keep the past in the past". Joyce instructs Ted to keep it out of her way and he opens the box, which has a gun inside.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:246" href="#fn:246">246</a> Ted and Joyce meet up with a friend, Joan Murfield (<a href="/facts/Eileen_Davies/p4VE8201">Eileen Davies</a>), and talk about a family they describe as being "neighbours from hell" who nearly killed Joan.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:247" href="#fn:247">247</a> Ted and Joyce decide they like their new home as it is peaceful but are then horrified to discover that <a href="/facts/Karen_Taylor_(EastEnders)/PyQL9wp7">Karen Taylor</a> (<a href="/facts/Lorraine_Stanley/tBXKFMYE">Lorraine Stanley</a>) and her children have moved in above them, as Karen is the woman who caused Joan's nervous breakdown.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:248" href="#fn:248">248</a> Ted later applies for a vacancy at the local <a href="/facts/The_Queen_Victoria/c2oalPmJ">The Queen Victoria</a> <a href="/facts/Public_house/1vDaSw0H">public house</a> as a potman. Although the landlord <a href="/facts/Mick_Carter/ktszIlet">Mick Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Danny_Dyer/vhUVcMnN">Danny Dyer</a>) chooses Ted, he agrees that both Ted and <a href="/facts/Patrick_Trueman/E7t4DtK6">Patrick Trueman</a> (<a href="/facts/Rudolph_Walker/JnWADeWu">Rudolph Walker</a>) should share the job on a part-time basis. Ted and Joyce find that they have been burgled and Ted blames the Taylors and the police question them. <a href="/facts/Keanu_Taylor/PyQL9wp7">Keanu Taylor</a> (<a href="/facts/Danny_Walters_(actor)/lNCDsJTs">Danny Walters</a>) insists to Ted and Joyce that they played no part in the break-in and Joyce is grateful when Keanu offers to board up their window.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:249" href="#fn:249">249</a>
When a gas tank explodes outside the couple's flat, it smashes their windows and debris flies through. Ted panics, convinced that someone is trying to harm him and Joyce, who tries to calm him down. Ted arms himself with his gun and when someone checks on the couple, Ted accidentally shoots <a href="/facts/Johnny_Carter_(EastEnders)/wHveYKjV">Johnny Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Ted_Reilly/kKG9gXdH">Ted Reilly</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:250" href="#fn:250">250</a> Joyce calls the emergency services and she is arrested after taking the blame to protect Ted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:251" href="#fn:251">251</a> When Joyce visits Johnny in hospital and he realises Ted was the person who shot him,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:252" href="#fn:252">252</a> Johnny's mother <a href="/facts/Linda_Carter/DSDdrXKw">Linda Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Kellie_Bright/LdK1qIJE">Kellie Bright</a>) decides to confront Joyce who promises Ted that she will still take the blame for him.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:253" href="#fn:253">253</a> Joyce and Ted later receive community service and a suspended sentence respectively, thanks to Ted's psychiatric report and a letter Johnny wrote in their defence.
Joyce is supportive of Ted when he begins teaching Bernadette Taylor (<a href="/facts/Clair_Norris/zyMJwRsP">Clair Norris</a>) how to play chess, but is frustrated when doing so consumes most of Ted's time. On Alan's birthday, Bernadette is scheduled to play in a chess tournament and asks Ted to support her. Joyce is upset that Ted intends to miss a Skype call with their son for the tournament and argues with him, berating him for giving Bernadette the time and affection that he never gave his own children. When Bernadette panics at the tournament, Joyce relents and allows Ted to go to her, realising the importance for both of them. Ted returns later that night to find Joyce in bed, but in the morning realises that Joyce has died in her sleep.
When <a href="/facts/Sheree_Trueman/Sg02LQJ4">Sheree Trueman</a> (<a href="/facts/Suzette_Llewellyn/xYvY7T4l">Suzette Llewellyn</a>) sets Ted up with her mother <a href="/facts/Wanda_Baptiste/Sg02LQJ4">Wanda Baptiste</a> (<a href="/facts/Anni_Domingo/6IgQWvIq">Anni Domingo</a>), Wanda announces that she has two tickets to travel the world for a year, and invites Ted. At first, he is reluctant due to <a href="/facts/Denise_Fox/VGQmCtAQ">Denise Fox</a> (<a href="/facts/Diane_Parish/tEzrzhyn">Diane Parish</a>) making an effort to dissuade him, but he later comes round to the idea. After saying goodbye to his friends, he leaves with Wanda.
The character and Timothy's casting were announced on 1 April 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:254" href="#fn:254">254</a> Of his casting, Timothy said, "The most exciting thing about joining EastEnders is not only that I'll be back on the television, but I'll also be working with Maggie. I have admired her for a long time. She is one of my favourite actresses. Filming not just our first scenes but our first episode together will be like first night in the theatre—very exciting indeed. And of course, I'm looking forward to meeting all the cast who I've been used to seeing on TV over the year."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:255" href="#fn:255">255</a> Executive producer <a href="/facts/Sean_O%2527Connor_(producer)/J2exAX4U">Sean O'Connor</a> added that he is "delighted to welcome Maggie and Christopher to Albert Square. They are both already much-loved by audiences and it's wonderful to have attracted such esteemed and acclaimed actors to the EastEnders cast". He said that the Murrays "are a breath of fresh air to Walford having achieved a long–standing marriage. But it's not long before echoes of the past catch up with them. I'm very excited to see what these wonderful performers—and these fascinating characters—bring to Albert Square."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:256" href="#fn:256">256</a> Timothy explained that Ted and Joyce were neighbours with Dot and "whether old animosities between Dot and the Murrays will resurface" and that "Joyce looks set to get annoyed with her husband when she discovers that he's broken a promise and brought a piece of their past with him."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:257" href="#fn:257">257</a>
After their first appearance, where scenes showed Ted and Joyce having a gun, Jonathan Hughes from <a href="/facts/Radio_Times/UpuUMMN6">Radio Times</a> said the Murrays "seemed like a harmless elderly couple, if slightly put out at being rehoused by the council due to the imminent demolition of the tower block they've lived in for 40 years."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:258" href="#fn:258">258</a> He questioned why "two plucky pensioners" have a pistol and if it has "something to do with their previous links to Walford" as well as wondering if their son Alan is "another nasty <a href="/facts/Nick_Cotton/mAjNmRLK">Nick Cotton</a>."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:259" href="#fn:259">259</a>

Tom Bailey (initially credited as "nosebleed man"), played by <a href="/facts/Daniel_Casey/XkKChQqV">Daniel Casey</a>, first appears in the episode broadcast on 1 June 2017<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:264" href="#fn:264">264</a> and departs in the episode broadcast on 9 November 2017,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:265" href="#fn:265">265</a> appearing in a total of 22 episodes.
Tom meets <a href="/facts/Michelle_Fowler/8DSELxfy">Michelle Fowler</a> (<a href="/facts/Jenna_Russell/Y037pzFd">Jenna Russell</a>) on the <a href="/facts/London_Underground/l3IPLz8F">London Underground</a> after suffering a nosebleed and Michelle gives him a tissue.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:266" href="#fn:266">266</a> They meet a few times later on the train<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:267" href="#fn:267">267</a> and Michelle tells her friend <a href="/facts/Sharon_Mitchell_(EastEnders)/a0TDMHL2">Sharon Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Letitia_Dean/5zxhy452">Letitia Dean</a>) that she is interested in someone she met on the train, unaware that Tom is outside her home, looking at photos he covertly took of her.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:268" href="#fn:268">268</a> Tom meets Michelle on the train again, this time when she is working late and he claims to have a day off from work. They finally introduce themselves and Tom says he is widowed.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:269" href="#fn:269">269</a> Michelle invites Tom for a drink. They discuss Michelle's personal life but when she says her marriage went stale and someone younger showed interest, Tom assumes her husband cheated and not the other way around. Afterwards, Tom is aggressive to a stranger he accidentally bumps into.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:270" href="#fn:270">270</a> Tom and Michelle meet for a drink again and despite her confession that she was the one who fell in love with a younger student, causing the ending of her marriage, Tom kisses her.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:271" href="#fn:271">271</a>
After not hearing from Tom for a while, he returns and tells Michelle that he was scared because she is the first person he has dated since his wife's death and felt guilty. He invites Michelle for a drink and she says she will think about it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:272" href="#fn:272">272</a> The next day she agrees to a drink in the Vic and they kiss in public.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:273" href="#fn:273">273</a> A few weeks later, he asks her out but she turns him down as she is babysitting. He turns up anyway, saying she sounded stressed, and asks her out for lunch the next day; Michelle says she will be in touch and walks away.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:274" href="#fn:274">274</a> Michelle breaks up with Tom but he continues to stalk her. When Michelle starts internet dating, she meets a man called Doug (<a href="/facts/Trevor_Murphy/XfC7gj5E">Trevor Murphy</a>) and goes on a date with him at The Albert bar. Michelle is unaware that Tom is watching her from the outside. When the date ends, Tom threatens Doug on the train and tells him he is Michelle's husband, she has used a fake name and is using him, and not to see her again. He then texts Michelle, saying he needs to see her, but she tells him to leave her alone. Tom looks at a picture of his wife in his wallet and replaces it with a picture he took of Michelle.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:275" href="#fn:275">275</a> Tom then sends Michelle a scarf and as it smells of a perfume he gave her, she guesses it is his wife's scarf. Michelle deletes Tom's text messages without replying, and Sharon tells her to return all his gifts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:276" href="#fn:276">276</a> Tom then starts troubling the Mitchell household, where Michelle lives, with persistent silent phone calls, prompting Michelle and Sharon to report him to the police.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:277" href="#fn:277">277</a> Tom continues to follow her and she starts to get scared, locking herself in the house.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:278" href="#fn:278">278</a> The next day, she sees him in Albert Square and grabs him by the throat, telling him to leave her alone. Later, Sharon says she has called the police again, and that they said they would call him directly as it usually puts people off.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:279" href="#fn:279">279</a>
On Halloween night, Michelle sees Tom outside her home again, so <a href="/facts/Phil_Mitchell/JyIF4oWX">Phil Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Steve_McFadden/PHR0LYKa">Steve McFadden</a>) goes out and shouts at him, so Tom runs off. Michelle gets on the train to go to a party, but Tom follows her.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:280" href="#fn:280">280</a> On an empty carriage, she tells him to stop following her, and he says he does not want to but she is forcing him. He touches her face and tells her not to pretend she does not want this. To get rid of him, she tells him they should talk about it another night, and invites him to dinner the following week, claiming she has been scared of commitment. She tells him to stay on the train while she gets off, and he asks her for a kiss, which she does after he accuses him of lying.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:281" href="#fn:281">281</a> Michelle starts to research Tom online,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:282" href="#fn:282">282</a> and at their dinner, he is unaware that she is filming everything on her phone. He claims that his actions were just to get her attention, as "some women need convincing". He admits that things got out of hand but he wanted her to realise that they are meant to be together. She says what he did was harassment, but he says he loves her and reveals he knows things about her private life that she has not told him. He tries to kiss her but she backs away, so he forces himself on her. At that moment, Sharon, <a href="/facts/Denise_Fox/VGQmCtAQ">Denise Fox</a> (<a href="/facts/Diane_Parish/tEzrzhyn">Diane Parish</a>) and <a href="/facts/Karen_Taylor_(EastEnders)/PyQL9wp7">Karen Taylor</a> (<a href="/facts/Lorraine_Stanley/tBXKFMYE">Lorraine Stanley</a>) walk in and Sharon hits him over the head with a vase, knocking him unconscious. When Tom wakes up, Michelle reveals that she had done research on his background, revealing that she knows his wife is not dead, merely divorced from him, and that he lied about his job to her. Michelle then reveals that everything has been recorded and says that if he comes near her again, she will show the video to his boss, clients and former wife. He agrees and leaves in shock.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:283" href="#fn:283">283</a>
Despite being credited as "nosebleed man", following the character's first episode, Ben Lee from <a href="/facts/Digital_Spy/4v0n6K9W">Digital Spy</a> reported that the actor has an official cast shot and the character's name is Tom, speculating that he would appear again.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:284" href="#fn:284">284</a> It was then reported that Tom would be a love interest for Michelle. Kate White from <a href="/facts/Inside_Soap/CKY5HS0F">Inside Soap</a> said there is a "spark" between them, and called him Michelle's "train crush". An EastEnders source said, "It's nothing short of a miracle to get someone to talk to you on the Tube in London, so Michelle should feel extremely flattered!"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:285" href="#fn:285">285</a> However, White said that Tom is a stranger to Michelle and she knows nothing about him, she could be "playing with fire".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:286" href="#fn:286">286</a> Duncan Lindsay from the <a href="/facts/Metro_(British_newspaper)/zSptpIGR">Metro</a> said Tom "has turned out to be a little bit unsettling as he has snapped pictures of [Michelle] and followed her home" and said that "many have poured scorn on the likelihood of two strangers regularly bumping into each other on packed London trains, [but] it seems that this was less accidental than we were led to believe".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:287" href="#fn:287">287</a> Sophie Dainty from Digital Spy said that Tom "gets even darker" in his fifth episode, and said Michelle "could be heading for serious danger after her new love interest Tom showed another worrying side", calling him a "weirdo" and his behaviour "nasty", as he seems "more and more dangerous by the day".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:288" href="#fn:288">288</a>

I never in a million years thought my first TV role would be in EastEnders. It's surreal but I'm ever so grateful to be given the opportunity and I can't wait to see the audience's reaction to us."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:325" href="#fn:325">325</a> Bernadette is described as having "little interest in anything other than sitting around the house and dreaming of being famous."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:326" href="#fn:326">326</a> Norris added that her character is "quite young. She's always being forced by her mum to go to school, but she can't be bothered basically" and she is "a typical teenager. She doesn't want to go to school. She just wants to stay around at home and watch reality TV"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:327" href="#fn:327">327</a>
Executive producer <a href="/facts/Sean_O%2527Connor_(producer)/J2exAX4U">Sean O'Connor</a> added that he is "hugely excited at the arrival of Karen and her family in Albert Square. They're noisy, brash and not-to-be-messed-with. Karen is a twenty-a-day lioness, bringing up her kids with no support, no money and a very loud mouth. But though they may lack cash, the Taylors have love and warmth in spades. This summer is going to be explosive as the Taylors settle in Walford. The Square will never be quite the same again…"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:328" href="#fn:328">328</a> In an interview, O'Connor added that The Taylor family "feel very different to the other characters" they have, calling them "a big messy brood." He said the Taylors will "bring the breath of fresh air that" the <a href="/facts/Jackson_family_(EastEnders)/Hh7DwIfH">Jackson family</a> did upon their arrival and like other established, popular EastEnders families, they "will divide opinion, but within six months, I [O'Connor] think the audience will love them" and "will help re-calibrate what the show is." O'Connor also said that the family experience "the reality of the benefits system [...] we're not going to see these characters suddenly flashing cash round – we're going to see them struggling to make ends meet, because that's where the best stories are- ordinary characters facing adversity." O'Connor compared the characters to <a href="/facts/Kat_Slater/NKShsp7r">Kat Slater</a> (<a href="/facts/Jessie_Wallace/1Ioxv45E">Jessie Wallace</a>) and <a href="/facts/Coronation_Street/dmnQfBy2">Coronation Street</a>'s <a href="/facts/Elsie_Tanner/0lb1Dobd">Elsie Tanner</a> (<a href="/facts/Pat_Phoenix/gbuVwUva">Pat Phoenix</a>), saying "whatever fate throws at them, they pick themselves up and face the next day. It's the classic Scarlett O'Hara mantra; 'tomorrow is another day."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:329" href="#fn:329">329</a>
The Taylors "are thrown into a [...] crisis" when Karen makes a "shock discovery" about Bernadette and Karen figures out Bernadette is pregnant after Karen is "troubled by Bernadette's behaviour" coming to the "shocking realisation."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:330" href="#fn:330">330</a> Bernadette "refuses initially to reveal the father of her unborn child", however, Karen "remains determined to get to the truth."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:331" href="#fn:331">331</a> Bernadette's refusal to name the father leaves Karen "more frustrated than ever."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:332" href="#fn:332">332</a> Instead of being "the mouthy matriarch" and "gobby", Karen "surprisingly" opts to use "a softer approach" to the situation. Bernadette's silence will prompt Karen's "own suspicions", but she could have "the wrong end of the stick" or uncover a "worrying secret" about Bernadette.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:333" href="#fn:333">333</a>
Viewers drew similarities to a teenage pregnancy storyline involving the character of <a href="/facts/Demi_Miller/jLfrnSVf">Demi Miller</a>, played by <a href="/facts/Shana_Swash/8oPSYcC0">Shana Swash</a>, in 2004 as the Millers "were just as mouthy and controversial as the Taylors and at the time of their arrival, 13-year-old Demi was heavily pregnant.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:334" href="#fn:334">334</a> When Bernadette suffers a miscarriage, Daniel Kilkelly from <a href="/facts/Digital_Spy/4v0n6K9W">Digital Spy</a> called it a "tragic" and "upsetting" turn.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:335" href="#fn:335">335</a>

Later, Felix calls Mr. Lister and announces to him and Robbie that he will be leaving the market.
Maguire's casting in EastEnders was reported on 24 June 2017, when it was said that Maguire had signed a £200,000 contract to help increase the show's ratings. However, the <a href="/facts/Metro_(British_newspaper)/zSptpIGR">Metro</a> said that Maguire would play a "minor character who is part of a small community based storyline", that the actor would be in around three episodes and had already filmed his scenes, and that his casting was nothing to do with the change of executive producer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:386" href="#fn:386">386</a> A different EastEnders source told the <a href="/facts/Daily_Mirror/FBWIoqsP">Daily Mirror</a> that "George will join the soap for a few episodes early in July".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:387" href="#fn:387">387</a>

<h2 id="hope-fowler">Hope Fowler</h2>

Hope Fowler first appears in the episode broadcast on 16 October 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:388" href="#fn:388">388</a> She is the daughter of established characters <a href="/facts/Martin_Fowler_(EastEnders)/bxgzC372">Martin Fowler</a> (<a href="/facts/James_Bye/zFIUaCYR">James Bye</a>) and <a href="/facts/Stacey_Slater/PdM5rUSU">Stacey Slater</a> (<a href="/facts/Lacey_Turner/YA7vebEm">Lacey Turner</a>).
In early 2017, after Stacey finds out she is pregnant, she and her husband Martin agree to seek medical advice because she is worried about her <a href="/facts/Postpartum_psychosis/k1v0xr7h">postpartum psychosis</a> returning that she suffered after the birth of her son, <a href="/facts/Arthur_Fowler_(2015_character)/jyNd22LL">Arthur Fowler</a>. In October 2017, after Arthur's grandmother, <a href="/facts/Carmel_Kazemi/jyNd22LL">Carmel Kazemi</a> (<a href="/facts/Bonnie_Langford/f12w7YTm">Bonnie Langford</a>), phones social services about bruises on Arthur, suspecting a stressed Stacey of hurting him, Stacey suffers an eclamptic seizure when she learns what Carmel did and is taken to hospital. In between her seizures, Stacey and Martin are told the baby will have to be delivered via <a href="/facts/Caesarean_section/GJ623ers">Caesarean section</a>. Martin is overjoyed when he learns that he has another daughter, but is told she has complications.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:389" href="#fn:389">389</a> Stacey goes to see her daughter, but changes her mind, however, she later sees her. Stacey and Martin's daughter is put on a ventilator.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:390" href="#fn:390">390</a> Stacey grows annoyed at Martin suggesting baby names, but confides in <a href="/facts/Max_Branning/dzFwXSqz">Max Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Jake_Wood/DSnFfmyo">Jake Wood</a>) about her feelings. Stacey apologises to Martin and they name their daughter Hope.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:391" href="#fn:391">391</a> Martin and Stacey bring Hope home and Stacey decides to make amends with Carmel. When Stacey cheats on Martin with Max in December 2017, she leaves Walford with Arthur, Hope and her daughter, <a href="/facts/Lily_Fowler/3h58lLWU">Lily Fowler</a> (Aine Garvey). Stacey returns in January 2018 and when Stacey is out, Martin accuses her of being with Max, so Stacey decides Martin should leave, but he angrily throws her out and exposes her affair. Martin keeps Lily, Arthur and Hope inside, away from Stacey, though he and Stacey support each other briefly when Lily holds Hope by the upstairs window, asking for Stacey. Martin rejects Stacey when she says Lily, Arthur and Hope need her and he decides he will not let Stacey near Lily, Arthur and Hope. Martin decides to go for custody, although his friends advise them to resolve their problems. Martin is not happy when Stacey seemingly changes her mind about Martin looking after Lily, Arthur and Hope for the night, but he refuses to look after Hope when Stacey offers as he suspects she will see Max. Stacey's cousin, <a href="/facts/Hayley_Slater/XDzzHklD">Hayley Slater</a> (<a href="/facts/Katie_Jarvis/HDFNCD2B">Katie Jarvis</a>), gets involved by pretending to be interested in Martin and encouraging him to keep the children for longer than agreed, resulting in him being visited by the police.
Turner said that Stacey's ultimate fear is her baby not surviving after Stacey suffers <a href="/facts/Pre-eclampsia/FG1BrbC8">pre-eclampsia</a>, bringing on a seizure, which puts Stacey and her baby's life at risk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:392" href="#fn:392">392</a> The character being named Hope drew similarities to the introduction of <a href="/facts/Coronation_Street/dmnQfBy2">Coronation Street</a>'s <a href="/facts/Hope_Stape/V63xFHeq">Hope Stape</a>, the daughter of <a href="/facts/Fiz_Brown/gWJo5plb">Fiz Brown</a> (<a href="/facts/Jennie_McAlpine/zIxl85Tm">Jennie McAlpine</a>), who was born prematurely and fought for her life in December 2010.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:393" href="#fn:393">393</a>

Aidan visits <a href="/facts/Phil_Mitchell/JyIF4oWX">Phil Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Steve_McFadden/PHR0LYKa">Steve McFadden</a>), his former prison cellmate, and later Phil sees him shaking hands with <a href="/facts/Vincent_Hubbard/MxyhyJuA">Vincent Hubbard</a> (<a href="/facts/Richard_Blackwood/4qsJQrxF">Richard Blackwood</a>). The next day, Aidan tells Phil about his criminal plan with Vincent and Phil asks to be involved; Aidan says he will be in touch.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:396" href="#fn:396">396</a> Aidan, Phil and Vincent meet to discuss Aidan's plan, but Phil does not want to work with Vincent; Aidan says the team is his choice and later Phil tells Aidan he is still interested. When Aidan is mugged for his phone and injured, <a href="/facts/Mick_Carter/ktszIlet">Mick Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Danny_Dyer/vhUVcMnN">Danny Dyer</a>) helps him and as they talk. Aidan mentions the planned robbery and Mick is interested as he needs money. Keegan then hands Aidan his phone, revealing the mugging was a scam to get Mick and Aidan talking.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:397" href="#fn:397">397</a> Aidan then recruits <a href="/facts/Keanu_Taylor/PyQL9wp7">Keanu Taylor</a> (<a href="/facts/Danny_Walters_(actor)/lNCDsJTs">Danny Walters</a>) into his team; Aidan, Phil, Vincent, Mick and Keanu then have a meeting in Vincent's bar, the Albert, but Bernadette walks in as they are discussing the plan; she insists she has heard nothing, but <a href="/facts/Max_Branning/dzFwXSqz">Max Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Jake_Wood/DSnFfmyo">Jake Wood</a>) sees them leaving together and is suspicious. When Phil's son <a href="/facts/Ben_Mitchell_(EastEnders)/xtbsIPTe">Ben Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Harry_Reid_(actor)/0ALQUyyH">Harry Reid</a>) is beaten up by Luke Browning (Adam Astill), Phil asks Aidan for help; Luke is bundled into the back of a van and not seen again.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:398" href="#fn:398">398</a> Vincent is angry about Aidan's meetings being in the Albert so he tells Aidan he does not want to be involved; Aidan convinces him that he is the right person for the job while also making a threat, so Vincent agrees to come back on board. Mick misses a meeting with Aidan because of his family, and later Aidan tells him one thing has changed and gives him a gun. Mick hides the gun from his wife, <a href="/facts/Linda_Carter/DSDdrXKw">Linda Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Kellie_Bright/LdK1qIJE">Kellie Bright</a>), but she finds it and he is forced to reveal that Aidan is planning a robbery; she tells him to return the gun or she will leave him. Mick returns the gun to Aidan, saying he will not take part in the plan, and Aidan meets <a href="/facts/Billy_Mitchell_(EastEnders)/mLBIGYuv">Billy Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Perry_Fenwick/z1GD302p">Perry Fenwick</a>) and thinks he could be a good replacement for Mick. Aidan gives <a href="/facts/Whitney_Carter/TRVCrKE1">Whitney Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Shona_McGarty/2GFe5XAL">Shona McGarty</a>) a present for Mick, which she puts under Mick's Christmas tree, and Aidan tells Mick there is a gun in the Vic and he has called the police; Mick manages to find it under the tree and gives it to Billy to give to Phil as the police arrive, but Aidan only reported a fight so the police leave. Aidan later tells Mick he needs him back on his team and he could make £150,000.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:399" href="#fn:399">399</a> The day before the heist, Mick asks Aidan to rejoin the gang but Aidan makes him beg, so Mick refuses, however, when the others get drunk, Aidan agrees to have Mick back.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:400" href="#fn:400">400</a>
Aidan talks Phil, Mick, Vincent and Keanu through his heist plan and tells them to be ready; when Aidan signals for everyone to take their positions, Mick's mother, <a href="/facts/Shirley_Carter/rz1sXnTg">Shirley Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Linda_Henry/BKNKmA0X">Linda Henry</a>), locks him in the cellar after reading his text messages. Keegan helps Mick escape the cellar so Shirley gets Linda and they track his phone. Mick joins Keanu and they successfully stop a van and divert it to Albert Square. The van stops outside the garage owned by Ben, and Mick, Keanu, Vincent and Phil use fake guns to hold up the van; the men in the back open the van and Mick is shot as Linda and Shirley look on. Bernadette calls the police, while Aidan sends Keanu home and then threatens Vincent because when he was a police informant, he had Aidan's brother sent to prison and Aidan blames Vincent for his brother's suicide; Phil stops Aidan shooting Vincent and Vincent promises to sell his bar, the Albert, and give Aidan the proceeds. Aidan's former wife, <a href="/facts/Ciara_Maguire/XDzzHklD">Ciara Maguire</a> (<a href="/facts/Denise_McCormack/t5JcNrII">Denise McCormack</a>), arrives and tells the police that she owns the van involved and she staged a robbery as part of security training, so convinces the police to leave; Ciara realises Aidan was involved and makes a phone call to someone. Two days later, Vincent worries that nobody will receive their share of the money so Aidan assures him that if they are patient they will get it. Ciara meets Aidan, accusing him or arranging the robbery, but he denies being involved; Phil recognises her and confronts Aidan; Aidan says they are taking back his money that she took from him, and tells Phil where the money is.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:401" href="#fn:401">401</a>
Aidan offers to share the money with Ciara, and later meets with Vincent, Keanu, Mick, Phil and Billy, who is hiding the money in a coffin; when they open the coffin, the money is missing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:402" href="#fn:402">402</a> Billy realises there has been a mix-up and the money has been buried in another coffin; Aidan makes them dig up the coffin. Ciara goes to meet Aidan as agreed but he is not there, so she goes to Billy's funeral home where Aidan has been conducting his business but Billy's fiancée, <a href="/facts/Honey_Mitchell/jPdySPRY">Honey Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Emma_Barton/CDgvKaww">Emma Barton</a>), assumes she is a customer and takes her to the Vic; Ciara overhears Honey on the phone to Billy and realises Aidan is at a church, so calls him, interrupting a confrontation between Vincent and Aidan; Ciara lies that she knows exactly where Aidan is; the men open the coffin but the money is not there; sirens approach and Aidan tells everyone to run.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:403" href="#fn:403">403</a> Ben and <a href="/facts/Jay_Brown/hTj4JF1J">Jay Brown</a> (<a href="/facts/Jamie_Borthwick/NXXS4SHg">Jamie Borthwick</a>) find a bracelet at the garage and a police officer visits, so they realise Phil has done something illegal; they confront Phil's wife, <a href="/facts/Sharon_Mitchell_(EastEnders)/a0TDMHL2">Sharon Mitchell</a> (<a href="/facts/Letitia_Dean/5zxhy452">Letitia Dean</a>), and Ben demands a share of any money as he is now involved but Sharon says Phil was double-crossed, however, Ben later hides the bracelet along with other jewellery and a large amount of cash, revealing that he has stolen it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:404" href="#fn:404">404</a> Ben sells the jewellery but gives one necklace to his mother, <a href="/facts/Kathy_Beale/M8jEDV91">Kathy Beale</a> (<a href="/facts/Gillian_Taylforth/P1PqEydo">Gillian Taylforth</a>). Ben tells Jay that he will give the cash to Phil.
Everyone goes into hiding for a few weeks and when they return, Phil sees Kathy's necklace and thinks Ben and Jay took the money. The men gather at Phil's and accuse each other of the theft, while Aidan says the woman they robbed does not have the money as her "blonde bombshell" is looking for it; Aidan then offers to help Mick get his money to buy <a href="/facts/The_Queen_Victoria/c2oalPmJ">The Queen Victoria</a> pub back, but Mick calls Aidan a liar and wants nothing more to do with him; Billy then tells Phil that the "blonde bombshell" is <a href="/facts/Mel_Owen/8jtGYExb">Mel Owen</a> (<a href="/facts/Tamzin_Outhwaite/omaVQP9h">Tamzin Outhwaite</a>) and Phil says they need to find Ben. Mick is able to keep the pub when <a href="/facts/Halfway_(EastEnders)/buCscsWQ">Halfway</a> (Tony Clay), who was the person who shot Mick, gives him a ring he stole during the robbery, which is worth £200,000. Aidan finds out Mick has bought the Vic and Mick's son, <a href="/facts/Johnny_Carter_(EastEnders)/wHveYKjV">Johnny Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Ted_Reilly/kKG9gXdH">Ted Reilly</a>) tells Aidan that they sold a family member's war medal; Aidan believes the story but Mel speaks to Halfway who says they won the money on a scratchcard, so when Mel tells Aidan this, he is furious. Phil sees Vincent being friendly with a police officer after a break-in at the Albert that was staged by Aidan and notices how on-edge he is all day, while Aidan sees Mick celebrating and that the Vic is suddenly running smoothly after the Carters faced eviction, so Phil and Aidan agree that Vincent or Mick are guilty of taking the money; Mick is then bundled into a van by two men. Mick is taken to the garage where Phil, Aidan, Vincent, Keanu and Billy confront him; he convinces Aidan that the Vic was returned to them for nothing, so Aidan turns his attention to Vincent; Vincent accuses Ben, while Phil accuses Mel. Aidan gives Phil ten days to find out the truth; Mel then overhears Phil telling Sharon that if Aidan knew who had the money, there would be a "bloodbath". Mel discovers that Sharon took the money and it is returned to Ciara.
Vincent tries to hurry through the sale of the Albert and tells Aidan that he will have his money in four weeks but Aidan demands an immediate bank transfer and has Vincent beaten up when he refuses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:405" href="#fn:405">405</a> Eventually, Aidan buys the bar himself for £1. Aidan then has a drug dealer, <a href="/facts/List_of_EastEnders_characters_(2018)/XDzzHklD">Cal</a> (Jesse Rutherford) installed at the Vic. Mick tries to stop the drug dealing but Aidan threatens to take the Vic from the Carters and to harm members of his family. When Linda discovers the drug dealing, Mick explains that Aidan is behind it and he took the Albert from Vincent so they have no choice but to allow it. Linda wants to report Aidan to the police but Mick says it would endanger their lives; Aidan then gives Mick money for his silence, but Linda returns it, however, Aidan has conned a supplier meaning Mick needs the money to pay them; Mick nearly goes to the police but changes his mind after finding out Aidan contacted his daughter, <a href="/facts/Nancy_Carter/KGxlqKhG">Nancy Carter</a> (<a href="/facts/Maddy_Hill/5NpEzcCw">Maddy Hill</a>); Linda then calls the police. Aidan gives Keanu a box to hide in a coffin at the funeral home while he is fixing the electricity there.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:406" href="#fn:406">406</a> The following day the pub is raided and Cal is arrested, but Aidan pretends not to know anything. He later confronts the Carters, knowing one of them called the police. Shirley and Mick both try to take the blame, but Linda admits it was her so Aidan threatens her. Mick defends her and refuses to give in to him. Aidan warns him he has a week to get him the robbery money or else he is a dead man.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:407" href="#fn:407">407</a> Aidan later covers Mick's son Ollie with petrol as a warning. Jay gives the box Aidan gave Keanu to Phil. Upon opening it, Phil discovers some removed teeth.
The following week, Mick and the Carters prepare to flee Walford to escape Aidan and his gang, but Mick returns to the Vic at the last minute to confront Aidan, who viciously beats him until he apologises and allows drug dealing to resume in the Vic. Jack, Linda, and several others quickly arrive to aid Mick, only to find themselves surrounded by an even larger group of thugs called in by Aidan, who then threatens to burn the pub down. Mick finally apologises after seeing no way out, but Aidan is quickly attacked by Phil, who insists he has gone too far with his actions. Knowing that the teeth in the box belong to Luke, who Aidan had killed despite Phil only requesting to scare him off, Phil threatens to hand them over to the police unless Aidan ceases his actions and leaves. Heartbroken at Phil's betrayal, and feeling helpless entirely, Aidan finally calls off his gang and quietly leaves for good.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:408" href="#fn:408">408</a>
The character is described as a charismatic old school villain and is an old friend of Phil Mitchell, having shared a cell together while Phil was in prison in 2005. Speaking of joining the show, Bergin said: "I am delighted to be joining EastEnders as I have watched and admired it since the days of Dirty Den. It is an iconic show that has the ability to shape the way people think, while also telling big explosive stories that keep the audience gripped. I am really looking forward to seeing what they have in store for Aidan as it's bound to be dramatic." Executive consultant <a href="/facts/John_Yorke_(producer)/WAbKh3KN">John Yorke</a> added: "EastEnders deserves the very best and in Patrick we are absolutely privileged to have a truly great actor join the show. It's a huge honour to have him on board, where he'll be working hand in hand with Phil Mitchell and Mick Carter to carry a truly explosive storyline for Christmas and New Year. We can't wait to get started."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:409" href="#fn:409">409</a>

Kandice agrees to lend them the money, but when Karen begins arguing with her, Kandice changes her mind.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:413" href="#fn:413">413</a> Bernadette meets up with Kandice and emotionally pleads with her to help, but she apologetically refuses to but when the bailiffs are due to visit, Kandice turns up with the money. After bickering again and Karen throwing the money back, Kandice and Karen make up.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:414" href="#fn:414">414</a>
Kandice arrives in Walford in July 2018 and asks Karen for help to get out of climbing <a href="/facts/Mont_Blanc/Ds8dBfL2">Mont Blanc</a> for charity by allowing her to stay for a few days. Karen, Bernadette and Karen's son, <a href="/facts/Keegan_Baker/PyQL9wp7">Keegan Baker</a> (<a href="/facts/Zack_Morris_(actor)/7vlRjNJh">Zack Morris</a>), agree to help her by pretending she is ill. After successfully fooling her supporters with fake photos, the golf club director, <a href="/facts/List_of_EastEnders_characters_(2018)/XDzzHklD">Ellie James</a> (<a href="/facts/Helen_Masters/YF4g4aLk">Helen Masters</a>), asks Kandice for a video call to show her supporters. Kandice and Karen set up a tent in Karen's flat for the call and Ellie believes Kandice until Keegan accidentally interrupts. Ellie visits Karen and Kandice the next day, and Kandice shows her a cheque for the golf club, which Ellie accepts in exchange for keeping quiet about the scam and giving Kandice's husband, <a href="/facts/List_of_EastEnders_characters_(2023)/oQu6wLfN">Malcolm</a> (Greg Haiste) a gold membership to the golf club.
The character and Spearritt's casting was announced on 25 October 2017. Kandice was billed as the "outspoken" younger sister of Karen. She initially appeared for a stint, with the possibility of reintroducing the character if she proved popular. The following day, promotional images of Kandice and behind-the-scenes images of Spearritt filming with Stanley and Norris were released. It was also reported that Kandice would make her first appearance at Christmas 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:415" href="#fn:415">415</a>
On 24 April 2018, it was announced that Spearritt would reprise the role for another guest appearance later in 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:416" href="#fn:416">416</a> The character's July 2018 return was described as a "comedy plot". A third stint over Christmas 2018 was announced on 4 December 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:417" href="#fn:417">417</a>

This section is about the EastEnders character introduced in 2017. For the EastEnders character introduced in 2006, see <a href="/facts/Abi_Branning/q2kA2GHC">Abi Branning</a>.

Abi Branning first appears in the episode broadcast on 29 December 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:418" href="#fn:418">418</a> She is the daughter of <a href="/facts/Abi_Branning/q2kA2GHC">Abi Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Lorna_Fitzgerald/PNnqCBBv">Lorna Fitzgerald</a>) and <a href="/facts/Steven_Beale/94xEFNlb">Steven Beale</a> (<a href="/facts/Aaron_Sidwell/UVdkbog6">Aaron Sidwell</a>).
Abi and Steven's baby is conceived during their affair, while Steven is in a relationship with her mother's sister, <a href="/facts/Lauren_Branning/TC3mWf0j">Lauren Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Jacqueline_Jossa/p4hMruWA">Jacqueline Jossa</a>). Shortly afterwards, Steven dies after being injured in a fire caused by Abi's father <a href="/facts/Max_Branning/dzFwXSqz">Max Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Jake_Wood/DSnFfmyo">Jake Wood</a>). The baby is delivered via <a href="/facts/Caesarean_section/GJ623ers">caesarean section</a> after her mother becomes <a href="/facts/Brainstem_death/IlLvz7tL">brainstem dead</a> following a fall with Lauren from the roof of <a href="/facts/The_Queen_Victoria/c2oalPmJ">The Queen Victoria</a> <a href="/facts/Public_house/1vDaSw0H">public house</a>. She is held by Max after being born.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:419" href="#fn:419">419</a> Max and Lauren visit her and discuss naming her.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:420" href="#fn:420">420</a> Max later visits her in the hospital and takes a photograph of her, but is told that she is not strong enough to go to her mother's funeral.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:421" href="#fn:421">421</a> Her great-uncle, <a href="/facts/Jack_Branning/FhY0w7ng">Jack Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Scott_Maslen/Hu2fKyuH">Scott Maslen</a>), visits the hospital after her great-grandmother, <a href="/facts/Cora_Cross/XVmE5Esz">Cora Cross</a> (<a href="/facts/Ann_Mitchell/q6eedwb0">Ann Mitchell</a>), suggests that Max would kidnap the baby as punishment for being banned from the funeral. Jack arrives at the hospital and finds the incubator is empty. He presumes that Max has taken her, although Max returns with her and explains that he has registered her birth, naming her Abi in memory of her mother, and that he wants to do things right.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:422" href="#fn:422">422</a> After Max returns to Walford after a break away, he and his new wife, Abi's great-aunt <a href="/facts/Rainie_Branning/q1JhN0fd">Rainie Branning</a> (<a href="/facts/Tanya_Franks/sPfw11Ta">Tanya Franks</a>), visit Abi, who is being cared for by Cora, and vows to get her back. Max and Rainie meet with Abi's social worker, <a href="/facts/List_of_EastEnders_characters_(2018)/XDzzHklD">Calvin Hoskins</a> (Colin Tierney), and use Jack's house to convince him they are suitable to raise Abi and after the meeting, Rainie and Max row about Rainie potentially ruining Max's plan to raise Abi. Abi's social worker visits Max and Rainie again to discuss their marriage, which could be considered unstable due to the short time they have been married, about Max's contemplated suicide, though Max insists he is stronger and promised to bring up Abi. Max and Rainie are asked for three references and although Jack agrees to be the family referee, other residents are unwilling to support Max, but Max's former daughter-in-law <a href="/facts/Stacey_Fowler/PdM5rUSU">Stacey Fowler</a> (<a href="/facts/Lacey_Turner/YA7vebEm">Lacey Turner</a>) and her husband <a href="/facts/Martin_Fowler_(EastEnders)/bxgzC372">Martin Fowler</a> (<a href="/facts/James_Bye/zFIUaCYR">James Bye</a>) agree to be referees. Cora visits Rainie and Max and offers Rainie the chance to leave Max, relocate to <a href="/facts/Exeter/yTQmILuj">Exeter</a>, run a tearoom and be part of Abi's upbringing with her and Abi's maternal grandmother, <a href="/facts/Tanya_Cross/r41vwRE4">Tanya Cross</a> (<a href="/facts/Jo_Joyner/5ynFY79C">Jo Joyner</a>). Rainie accepts the offer for £30,000, but contacts Calvin and when social services visit, Max and Rainie inform them of Cora's bribe.
When Cora visits <a href="/facts/Ian_Beale/U2zMeb62">Ian Beale</a> (<a href="/facts/Adam_Woodyatt/ktHeIxnS">Adam Woodyatt</a>), Abi's step-grandfather, Cora puts Ian on the spot by claiming he is supporting custody application to Max and Rainie. When Max takes Abi from Cora whilst Rainie attempts to resolve their feud, Abi is removed to a place of safety by the police. After Cora strikes Rainie over the head with a frying pan, Rainie blackmails Cora into withdrawing her custody application and Abi is placed into Max and Rainie's care.
Abi and Steven begin their affair when Steven suspects Abi's sister and Steven's girlfriend Lauren of having an affair with her employer, <a href="/facts/Josh_Hemmings/PyQL9wp7">Josh Hemmings</a> (<a href="/facts/Eddie_Eyre/lUKEEa07">Eddie Eyre</a>), that has led to "tension" between the characters, especially with the discovery that Lauren terminated her pregnancy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:423" href="#fn:423">423</a> In the climax of Steven's lie of having an inoperable <a href="/facts/Brain_tumour/avjI5Nhm">brain tumour</a> with just a few months to live, Steven's stepmother <a href="/facts/Jane_Beale/oaA2HC92">Jane Beale</a> (<a href="/facts/Laurie_Brett/tlf0Vh3Y">Laurie Brett</a>) discovers his affair with Abi.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:424" href="#fn:424">424</a> Abi's pregnancy puts a "massive spanner in the works of this slow-burning epic plot, which is quite literally about to blow up" as it provides a "new crisis" for Steven.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:425" href="#fn:425">425</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:426" href="#fn:426">426</a> With Abi being "even more hateful" towards Lauren after Steven's death, Abi receives a "world of hate" from Lauren upon admitting to the affair.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:427" href="#fn:427">427</a> Fitzgerald said that Abi is "just so happy" to be having a baby so she can receive "unconditional love", which Abi longs for as she "keeps losing that" within her family and with the death of Steven."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:428" href="#fn:428">428</a> Although Lauren is "fuming" in the aftermath of learning about Abi's baby, Fitzgerald states that Abi regards it as a "relief [...] she's got this massive weight off her chest."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:429" href="#fn:429">429</a> The hatred between Abi and Lauren comes out in an "explosive" manner, with the anger coming from Abi's betrayal and not Steven's and the fact the baby "will be too much as it means Steven will be around forever."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:430" href="#fn:430">430</a>
