What random facts do you know about characters which most people have probably forgotten? I've got a few but they are fairly recent so feel free to add more which are either old or new

Fatboy and Whitney used to go out
Sonia stole church money to have a gastric band
Fatboy has slept with Sonia and Denise
Whitney wrote a 'rot in hell' note at Lucy's funeral which Tamwar found and binned after a confrontation - Shabnam picked it up
Martin cheated on Sonia (offscreen before they were regulars)
Sharon told the police that a masked man broke into the house and shot Phil (instead of Shirley) - the only others to know the truth are the Carters, Babe and Dean
Ben went to juvy for giving Jordan a fractured skull with a spanner
Billy used to be a thug and was abusive to Jamie
Jane left to be a chef in Cardiff
Dean had stolen DVDs which Stan was charged for as it was found in his house
Babe grows weed
Lauren ran over Max
Alfie has a brain tumour
Jake was the first person to be arrested for Lucy's death
Lauren used to be an alcoholic
Tamwar was burnt in a fire at the B+B after thinking that his wife Afia was there
Tamwar and Afia's marriage fell apart because they had different ideas about the future
Nancy knows that something went on between Stacey and Kush
Buster saw Phil beat up Vincent and just walked away happily since Vincent wanted to kick his family out the house
Les was one of Pat's clients when she was a prostitute
Les met Jean to talk about funeral arrangements for Stacey after assuming she was dead
Sonia and Martin gave away Rebecca as a child and got her back
Lucas kept Denise in the basement next door and told everyone she was dead
Lauren told Stacey she knew what happened to Lucy (which Stacey hasn't questioned)
Nancy was about to be married to Wayne before Mick carried her out of her wedding
When she was on the run, Stacey was called Jenny and was in a relationship with Luke
Lexi was kidnapped by Carl's brother and Lola never found out
Ronnie ran over Lola near the place where Danielle died
Linda didn't want to accept that Johnny was gay
Sharon walked out of her wedding with John and forgot Denny (no surprise!)...

Some on the OP's list are hardly forgotten however this:

"Les was one of Pat's clients when she was a prostitute"

I don't remember that being mentioned. I take it this was before Les married Pam because he said that he had never had an affair during their marriage

It wasn't explicitly stated that Les was one of Pat's clients - David Wicks (and the viewers) just inferred it given Pat's history as we knew it.

It was when Les turned up to do Pat's funeral and told David he would give them a discount as he had 'known' Pat when they were young.

The first hair salon on Albert Square was called 'Kool for Kutz' and was ran by Della who went out with Steve Elliott and was later a lesbian.

Their was a guy called Mick who was in EE for about 6 years and worked in the caff and never had a storyline.

Mick was a nice guy.

He had a girlfriend called Lola who was played by Diane Parrish and he used to flat share with Dr Fonseca who was played by Jimi Mistry.

She has Christine to compete with now and it's a close run thing. And as we know you have a wee crush on Cora we know you have a thing for older women so I wouldn't put it past you

Facts are rather slippery in EE world it seems.

The Hubbards and the Cokers have supposedly loved in Albert Square their whole lives yet we've never really seen them.

Rather depressingly there are a lot of rape/sexual abuse victims on the show - Kathy, Ronnie, Linda, Whitney, Stacey. Kat too, who is on her way back. Hopefully it's a while before there's another story like that.

Slanderous and not true. MyLauren is the single hottest woman ever to grace us with her beautiful face. Thanks.

Off topic, but speaking of Lauren, where is she now? I think I must have missed an episode after the trial. Did she just go back to New Zealand?

Arthur Fowler appeared on a TV Quiz Shoe 'Cat and Mouse'
I've been watching all the old episodes of EastEnders over the last few years (up to 1992), and Arthur was a great character, and I miss him. I remember him and Pauline from when I was a kid watching (my parents obviously weren't strict with the television viewing!).

Arthur also had an affair with Christine Hewitt, a client for his gardening business!

He had a girlfriend called Lola who was played by Diane Parrish and he used to flat share with Dr Fonseca who was played by Jimi Mistry.
Before Della, there was Julie Cooper in 1989 who opened a Salon in Albert Square! Michelle Fowler worked there, if I remember rightly.

God, our 'Shell had more career options than a JobCenter Plus notice board! She was a Medical Receptionist, then she worked for the Council, and then she worked at the Queen Vic... I'm sure there's many others she did, too.
