Should EastEnders bring in the New Zealand Beales?
Kenny Beale and his daughter Elizabeth emigrated over there. We haven't heard anything about them since. Kenny could have had more children while Elizabeth could be married with kids herself.
Do you think its time that EastEnders invested in extending the Beale family as we enter the shows 30th year on air? Are Aunty Betty and Aunty Nellie still alive? why do they never get a mention from Ian? |

Once the Lucy storyline is over I think that'd be a good idea. I'd love to see a Fowler resurgence with Martin, mark jr and Michelle returning but I don't see that ever happening. So more beales wouldn't be a bad thing.

I'm holding out for James Alexandrou. I really think DTC hasn't split Martin and Sonia up because something is planned. I don't think we will ever see Michelle again sadly but it would be time to bring back Vicki. If they did decide to bring in more Beale's from Kenny's side they should cast Jason Donovan either as Elizabeth's husband or Kenny's son. Which would probably mean a retcon but who really cares thesedays lol. I know Jason is also an Aussie not a Kiwi but they could easily explain it away. Quote:

She was Lou's sister but only appeared once in my memory and that was at Arthur's funeral. |

Not yet but I would like it to happen in future. I think Martin might be returning. Sonya and Martin are still together and I think he will be back soon. Wishful thinking though!

Elizabeth and Kenny were dull on their first visit in 1988
The actor that played Kenny is dead, and the character would be in his 70's |

Ian Beale
Peter Beale Bobby Beale Steven Beale Jane Beale Cindy Junior Williams David Wicks Ben Mitchell Lexi Pearce Rebecca Fowler Bianca Jackson Liam Butcher Tiffany Butcher Morgan Butcher That would be enough for me to be honest if all those characters were in it. 4 of them have gone/going already. |

Yes - long overdue.
Kenny who would now be quite old, could decide that as he nears his twilight years, he wants to die back in the homeland, and moves back to Walford. It's a pity they killed Pat, as she would have had a bond. He could bring Elizabeth & her family over, and if the characters are unsucessful, they can kill Kenny & send Liz back. It'd be good to build up the Beales & Fowlers again |

Australian actors have a history of appearing in English soaps. Not sure about New Zealand ones though.
There's still Harry Beale, brother of Pauline, knocking about in England somewhere. As for writing off the character of Kenny because he's in his 70s. That's just silly. |

If they cant find any kiwi actors they could just say Kenny moved over to Australia in the early 90s. That way they could use Australian actors who now live and work here such as Lisa Gormley and as suggested already, Jason Donovan. I'm sure there are lots more.
Anne Charleston could play his wife. |

As far as numbers go the Beale's are in good shape should certain things happen. Cindy will surely return to take Lucy's spot. Then there's her baby. Bobby has been recast which should mean a more capable actor like they did with Martin and James Alexandrou. I suspect they'll put Ian and Jane back together. Then Peter makes a grand total of six.
The original household, once Martin was born, had six also so the house should have as much life in it come the anniversary as it did in 1985. Just down to the writers to keep this murder plot going. Edit - If they look at bringing in another adult they could always bring back or recast Jane's mum. |
