Not too shocking? I'm guessing it's either Ben, a relation to Aleks or one of the other dozen billion Carters swimming around out there in London somewhere .

DTC will introduce more ethnic characters but your statement "another white actor" is a bit rude. Give it time and I'm sure he will introduce more black/mixed actors.

Paul Coker, Ben, or maybe Alek's wife and kid.

Would prefer Paul out of those three.

If Enders is going to represent the real EastEnd then they ought to get rid of most characters that have English as a first language...haha. Am I only the only one that thinks this whole thing is going too far? Lol

Vaslav although I agree EE needs a more diverse cast, simply adding black/asian actors to fill a quota or demand is not the solution as it will create characters that lack any proper development as it's been shown e.g The Hartmans and end up being axed in the long run, we know they can introduces 'ethnic' characters successfully aka The Foxes and Masoods but need to put some effort into creating decent storylines for them and not because of the colour of their skin but casting decent actors to play the role.

I completely agree with this.

I second this.! I would totally hate them to just stuck a Chinese character in the show because they feel the need to fill that quota. Every decision that is made for EastEnders - be it character, plot or real life issue - should be driven by the force of the shows direction.

It would be appropriate for Ben Mitchell to be white as he was white last time we saw him.
