DTC has introduced great actors like Timothy West, Annette Badland, Anna Acton, Kellie Bright, Maria Friedman, Linda Marlow and has brought in real authentic Londoners such as Danny-boy Hatchard, Maddy Hill, Karl Howman, Danny Dyer and most recently Richard Blackwood. Here are some actors I think should join the show:

From London
Warren Mitchell (from Stoke Newington)
June Whitfield (from Streatham)
Danielle Brent (from Walthamstow/Leyton)
Nick Moran (from the East End)
Alex Walkinshaw (from Barking)
Jaime Winstone (from Camden) or Ray Winstone (from Hackney)
Pauline Quirke (from Hackney)
Samantha Fox (from Bow)
Adam Deacon (from Hackney)
Ashley Walters (from Peckham)
Ben Drew (from Forest Gate)
Jason Maza (from the East End - splitting distance from the Bow Bells)
William Miller (from Hackney)
Richard Wisker (from Dagenham)
Jimmy Akingbola (from Plaistow)
Prince Abdi (from Brixton)
Dylan Kwabena Mills (from Bow)
Patsy Kensit (from Hounslow)
Jocelyn Jee Esien (from Hackney)
Roxanne McKee (from London)
Adelayo Adedayo (from London)

Not from London
Denise van Outen
Sarah Lancashire (with a Cockney accent)
Max Bowden
Patricia Potter

Obviously, some won't be full characters - just too many - some could be minor, recurring or guest or even recasts. Just a thought!

    Jocelyn Jee Essien would be a great addition to the Fox clan. Recanted Daphnie?

    June Whitfield would have great as Elaine's Mum but Elaine's Mum has passed away.

    Nick Moran, Alex Walkinshaw, Pauline Quirke & Ashley Walters would be good for the show.

    Patsy Kensit would have been a great sibling to Roxy and Ronnie....

    The only one I would like to see in EastEnders on that list would be Ray Winstone.

    Phil Glenister and Shelia Hancock would be good.

    Sarah Alexander she could play a long lost half sister to Ronnie and Roxy her and Samatha Wommack look especally alike. Also bring in Bernard Cribbons to play some character and Brenda Fricker or the Only 3 i would like to see join the Cast.

    But he did also name the actors from London that are already there at the start of the post. Think that is what Vaslav was getting at :)

    I have always though that Sarah Lancashire would be a brilliant casting!

    I know I am old when I read some of these threads.

    Sheila Hancock played Steve Owen's mother (Martin Kemp) in an at times unsettling portrayal.

    Sarah Lancashire will forever be Raquel in Corrie in soap terms.

    Ah yes:D, But I would have liked to have seen her in modern EastEnders. It's just a shame her character was so memorable in one way, that she couldn't return as a different character.

    How about Helen Fraser?:D
