I think its about time Eastenders, introduced Kathy Beale's younger sister Steph Hills.
Steph could be played Gillian Taylforth's real life sister Kim Taylforth.
Steph has been mentioned in the soap years back (see the link above) Stephanie moved away from Walford before 1985.
Also Kathy has two other brother Jonathan and Colin, who have never been introduced yet.

Steph is mentioned at 24:00 in episode 64 in 1985.

I'd rather a qualified actress played the part.

If Kathy's other relatives are anything like her brother Ted and his kids I'd rather they stayed away. A complete set of bores. Presumably Kathy fell out of contact with the rest of her family long before she faked her death since they never visited her in the 13 years she was on the show (apart from Ted). They may not even know she's supposed to be dead.

I'd like to see Ted, Tony and Sarah back. Her older brother, nephew and niece would surely be interesting in such a plot. They've been away from Walford for years, but I wonder how much (or how little) they know about Kathy. If they know less than Phil and Ronnie about what happened it would be interesting to explore their response. There's clearly a reason for them to return.

Daniela Denby-Ashe has been around TV quite a bit since she left EE, especially on My Family and Waterloo Road. For the girl with large eyebrows on the show, she has grown into a really stunning woman.

Sarah Hills would be awesome, but the other two were so boring. Tony's relationships with Polly and Simon were a low point for EE.

So that's why Kathy and Gavin faked their deaths!

They couldn't face any more Sunday lunches at Ted's!

Kim has done acting before. She was in Bad Girls and Family Affairs.

Sarah hills was a great character - great actress too - bring her back - she's at an age now where she could mix it up with so many of the main characters

Daniela-Denby Ashe is an excellent actress so I'd welcome a return for Sarah

Kim Taylforth would be far too old given Daniela Denby Ashe isn't even 40. I just had a thought, what if Van Outen was actually Sarah using the name Karin lol

I always remember thinking that Emily Lloyd, the girl who starred in the film Wish You Were Here, would make a great Stephanie Hills. She apparently dropped out of acting due to "mental issues."

I think they meant Kim Taylforth for Steph Hills not Sarah.

Bringing Sarah back could also mean a return for Joe Wicks. Kathy will have so much family when she returns I think bringing more in would be excessive.
