List of EastEnders spin-off characters

The following is a list of fictional characters that appeared in televised spin-offs of the BBC soap opera EastEnders, but have not appeared in EastEnders itself.

Albert Beale appeared in the 1988 EastEnders spin-off CivvyStreet, played by Gary Olsen. He also appeared in the EastEnders novels by Hugh Miller. Albert and his wife Lou moved into 45 Albert Square shortly after their wedding. They had seven children. Their first child, Maggie, was conceived out of wedlock and adopted by an Irish family shortly after she was born. Albert and Lou had four sons (Kenny, Harry, Ronnie and Pete) and three more daughters (Dora, Norma and Pauline). Dora, Norma, Ronnie and Harry never appeared in the TV series. Albert fought in World War II, and was awarded the War Medal 1939–1945 — which is now in Ian Beale's possession. When Albert died in 1965, Ronnie inherited the stall but discovered he had a fatal heart defect and passed the stall onto Pete. Albert's three grandsons that appeared in the show, Mark Fowler, Ian Beale and Martin Fowler, all have Albert as a middle name.

Harry Beale appears in the 1988 EastEnders spin-off CivvyStreet, played by Aaron Mason. He also appears in the EastEnders novels by Hugh Miller. Harry is born to Albert and Louise Beale in 1936, their first legitimate child. He lives with his mother until his twenties, when he moves to Bradford in Yorkshire, and takes a job in a hotel. He is quickly promoted to hotel manager, but struggles to find a girlfriend. He eventually becomes an alcoholic, and regularly turns up to his mother's house in Albert Square, Walford drunk and unruly.

He eventually loses contact with Lou, after his drunken visits get worse. He sends flowers to his family's weddings and funerals.[citation needed]

Ronnie Beale appears in the 1988 EastEnders spin-off CivvyStreet, played by Chase Marks. He also appears in the EastEnders novels by Hugh Miller. Ronnie is born to Albert and Louise Beale, their third child, and second son. He lives with his mother until he marries a woman named Gail, then he moves into his own flat in Walford. The Beale family business, a fruit and vegetable stall in Bridge Street, is passed on to Ronnie upon the death of his father. In 1964, Ronnie discovers he has a heart condition that will eventually be fatal. He decides to move away from London so his family will not have to watch him die. He passes the stall on to his brother Pete, whom he had taken in after he had been homeless, after leaving his wife Pat. He and Gail move away, and it has been confirmed by the official EastEnders website that he has died since.

He is the brother of Zoe Newton (Tara Ellis) who was once married to Nick Cotton. Nick tracks him down to North London where Eddie is selling extinguishers.
