There's no real order to EastEnders credits, the last person seen will always get top billing, but the rest of the list is usually in any old order, just leaning towards dominance within the episode slightly, so if a character appears in the background in the Vic briefly they'll be placed near the end, with single episode guest characters. But really, after top billing there's no rules.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street list in order of appearance in the script, not always on screen. Hollyoaks list regular cast alphabetically followed by non-contract cast at the end.
Duff duff character and every character involved on that scene unless it's an extra then other characters on order of how much they appeared on screen xxx
The credits are listed in order of appearance last to first.
So duff duff character and then everyone else in reverse.
All of the other soaps I think list in order of appearance from the beginning of the episode.
It can't be everyone in reverse, last night showed Luke (Matt Willis) and Lily credited at the end, but they appeared near the end. They had a small role in the episode so were credited last.
I know Hollyoaks credit in alphabetical order of characters surnames.

Exactly this. I've tried to find rhyme or reason to the order of the credits, and there isn't really one. The only postscript I'd add to the above is that they tend to get grouped by storyline.
So duff duff was Stacey last night, then Lauren and Max, followed by Kat and Alfie, involved in the Stacey storyline. Then we had Whitney followed by Johnny and the rest of the Carters to do with the closure of the market/pub scenes. Abi is next, followed by the Beales and then the Masoods. Guest characters and child characters are then listed at the end - although this isn't always the case.

I always thought the person who gets the doof-doof gets top billing on the credits. At least, that's how it's been for the last 29 years.
Though it's true Stacey has now had a lot of doof-doofs in 2014...
Nothing due to "status".
I'll make a little bit with you. The next five people to top the credits will be:
Stan
Stacey
Kat
Max
Ian
... and I bet they will all get the duff duffs as well.
No its not. not for EE For ED and CS it is but the last person seen gets credited first at EastEnders
This! Its true!
I don't understand what the problem is!
I thought this too

Obviously. That's why you never see Tracey's name at the top of the credits!

This pretty much covers it!
