Actors to join EastEnders
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!

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.
You forgot Ann Mitchell, born and bred in Stepney.
Phil Glenister and Shelia Hancock would be good.
Read the thread properly. It's a list of London actors that the OP would like to see on the show.
Are the residents of Walford going to be going to Hogwarts?^_^
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
Other actors I think would be great would be
Claire King
Billie Piper
Kathy Burke (will never happen according to her but wishful thinking)
I had her down as an Emmerdale kinda woman
Or a April Branning
Unbelievable:o>:(
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.
Lol. Not even Ray Winstone?
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
June Whitfield - Buster's mother
Danielle Brent - Lola Pearce's mother
Alex Walkinshaw (from Barking) - tech entrepeneur
Jaime Winstone (from Camden) - Bex Branning
Pauline Quirke (from Hackney) - Steph Hills (gateway for an old, much-loved character)
Samantha Fox - Suzy Branning
Sarah Lancashire (with a Cockney accent) - April Branning
Adam Deacon (from Hackney) - another villain, associate of Richard Blackwood's character
Ashley Walters - brother for Richard Blackwood?
Ben Drew - Kevin Branning
Jason Maza - Spencer Moon
William Miller - Danny Butcher
Richard Wisker - Paul Coker
Prince Abdi (from Brixton) - member of the new Somalian family (with FGM)
Patsy Kensit (from Hounslow) - Gemma Butcher
Nick Moran - Gemma Butcher's partner
Roxanne McKee (from London) - new hipster bar manager of The Albert
Max Bowden - Mark Fowler Jr.
Patricia Potter - female tech entrepreneur or new GP?
A new Nigerian family - the other Olumbumnis?
Jimmy Akingbola (from Plaistow)
Dylan Kwabena Mills (from Bow)
