If you don't know what a doof doof is, it's just relating to the last close up of the episode when the drums play and the credits roll.

The character with the most cliffhangers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC3WKYgh3Ng

EE actors used to joke that they used to flip to the back of the script to see if they had the doof doof
So which current characters have never had this moment? Bobby had his first one on Monday and even Denny had one when he was packing his bag to run away (God knows where he is at the moment).

There are obviously recurring characters who have never had one such as Rebecca, Elaine, Carmel or Sylvie.

However, the only characters I can recall never having a doof doof are:

Donna
Vincent
Paul
Les (he might have been supposed to have one when we first found out he was meeting Claudette but the episode ended up being 1 hour instead of 30 mins)

I'm assuming Tamwar probably had one when Afia left, but are there any other characters that have never had one?

I also remember them saying how actors would steal duff duffs.

Like Jessie Wallace saying an episode was supposed to end on her delivering her final line but the director liked Shane Ritchie's facial expression after it so he got the end shot.

It's not really something I've ever paid attention to. But I'd imagine a lot of the minor characters haven't.

Donna got a duff duff earlier this year when it was revealed that Claudette is her foster mother

I don't think Rebecca and Babe got any duff duffs but I can't be 100% sure.

Did Tracy ever get one? The only time I think that could be possible was when Sam attacked her.

Big Mo had never had one until earlier this year, which is kind of surprising considering how long she's been in the show but then again she's never really had a big storyline of her own!

Actually, Mo had a couple in her first couple of months on the show, but after that, you're right, it was a long stretch to her next one earlier this year.

Tina Carter's never had one.

I can remember Babe having at least one. The episode ended with Babe talking to Sylvie in her house but Sylvie remained unseen - this was when it was first revealed that Babe was in contact with her sister who had supposedly been estranged from the entire Carter family for 30+ years.

Yeah I think Jay has had a few. His most recent one was probably when he burned his hat to avoid anyone knowing that he was on the same bus as Lucy

I'd have thought Vincent has had one, Eels. Either when he arrived, or took the Albert maybe?

From what I remember he was close to getting one when he first came face to face with Kim who was scared (however she got the duff duff)

When he took over the Albert I found that Phil got the duff duff however Vincent is in the background http://i.imgur.com/CxVKQJ6.png

Really? I swore she got one when Tosh beat her just before they split up for good. Babe was in the scene with her, but I believe Tina was credited with it.

Lee almost got the duff duff when he was drunk and mumbled 'Lucy' to Mick (1 or 2 episodes before he revealed that Billy argued with Lucy). But the closeup was on Mick's face so yeah I don't think Lee has actually had one

I remember Nancy got one when she was about to tell Shirley about her thoughts that Mick killed Dean however she had a seizure outside

Mo had 4 or 5 in the year 2000. Her last one before earlier this year was in 2006.

Bit random and I know he wasn't a huge character but Mickey Miller never got a duff duff during his time on the show. Joe Swash mentioned it during the backstage show. He said he almost got one but Wendy Richard stole it from him!
