List of EastEnders characters introduced in 2006
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 2006, by order of first appearance. 2006 was a year when many families joined EastEnders. First, Deano Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), his sister Carly Wicks (Kellie Shirley) and father Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels) joined. Then, the Fox family appeared, with the characters of Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Chelsea Fox (Tiana Benjamin/Zaraah Abrahams) and Libby Fox (Belinda Owusu) as members. The Branning family was extended with Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner), Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren Branning (Madeline Duggan/Jacqueline Jossa) all joining. Also, May Wright (Amanda Drew), Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), SJ Fletcher (Natasha Beaumont) and Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), the biological mother of Deano and Carly, all joined the show. Also, Owen Turner (Lee Ross), Denise's abusive ex-husband, and his mother Liz (Kate Williams) both arrived in this year.
Dean "Deano" Wicks, played by Matt Di Angelo, arrives in Walford and is taken in by Kevin's in-law Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) after he lies that his father, Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels), has died. Deano is soon joined by Kevin and his sister, Carly Wicks (Kellie Shirley). He is also unwittingly reunited with his estranged mother, Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), during a family holiday in Dorset. Deano is imprisoned for framing Sean Slater (Robert Kazinsky) for an assault. He finds prison hard, and when he is released, Deano has changed vastly.
Bradley Branning, played by Charlie Clements, moves to Walford from Tring to live with his grandfather Jim (John Bardon) and his step-grandmother Dot (June Brown). Later that year, Bradley's father Max (Jake Wood) moves to Albert Square with his family. Bradley befriends Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) upon his arrival, and eventually a romance develops between them. They marry in November 2007, but Bradley discovers on Christmas Day that Stacey has been having an affair with his father. They split and Bradley eventually has a relationship with Syd Chambers (Nina Toussaint-White), though it is Stacey who proves to be Bradley's ultimate love.
Oliver Cousins, played by Tom Ellis, is a Walford doctor. He first appears in episode 3092, first broadcast on 30 January 2006. His last appearance is in episode 3159, first broadcast on 26 May 2006. In 2011, Ellis said he would not consider returning to the show.
When Oliver first appears, he is knocked over by Dot Branning (June Brown) and is locked out of his house naked. Mo Harris (Laila Morse) picks the lock for him, but as his towel is caught in the door, he then has just his hands to cover himself. Cousins gives Honey Edwards (Emma Barton) advice about her unborn baby, finds Ben Mitchell (Charlie Jones) when he runs away, and talks to Little Mo Mitchell (Kacey Ainsworth) about her baby Freddie (Alex Kilby and Tom Kilby), thinking that she is suffering from stress. He then develops romantic feelings for Little Mo.
Oliver goes on a date with Little Mo, where she confides in him that she sometimes struggles with Freddie. He walks her home that night and they share a kiss on the doorstep. Little Mo later confides in Oliver that she has nearly hit Freddie in the past when he has been crying. When Freddie is injured, Oliver tells his colleague, Briony Campbell (Rae Hendrie), what Little Mo has told him. Briony tells Social Services, who suspect Little Mo has caused Freddie's injuries. However, Little Mo suspects 10-year-old Ben has caused them. Little Mo discovers that Oliver has betrayed her and ends their relationship. Oliver is offered a job in Leeds and decides to leave Walford.
At the same time, Ben tells Oliver that he has hit Freddie on purpose, confirming Little Mo's suspicion, but Ben's father Phil (Steve McFadden) tells Oliver to keep quiet. Oliver takes Little Mo for dinner and tries to convince her to go to the police and clear her name but she refuses. They go to The Queen Victoria public house together and Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) calls Little Mo a child beater. Oliver stands up for her and is about to tell everyone the truth about Freddie's injury. Little Mo is angry with Oliver for not respecting her decision and she storms out of the pub.
Oliver gets drunk the following day and barmaid Dawn Swann (Kara Tointon) has to help him get into his flat at the end of the night. Little Mo's cousin Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) sees this but doesn't tell her. Oliver finally admits to Little Mo that he loves her and proposes to her on 25 May 2006. Happy with the outcome, the two prepare to leave Walford for Leeds, but Oliver first apologises to Dawn for throwing her out of his flat the day he got drunk. She gives him a friendly kiss but Stacey also sees this and tells Little Mo who then confronts Oliver and pushes him to the ground; in response, he ends their relationship. As Little Mo prepares to leave for Barnstaple, Oliver realises that he still loves her and decides to ask her to go with him to Leeds. He runs to the tube station and tries to convince her to join him. Little Mo chooses not to go with him, and she leaves with Freddie. Oliver leaves Walford for Leeds on the same day.
