It's always bugged me that we know so little about the backstories of the Foxes.

Ada Fox had a one night stand with someone from Patrick's band, resulting in Denise. But who are Kim and Daphne's dads? Did Denise have a stepfather? She once said Patrick was the only father figure in her life. Did Kim know who her father was? Is she still in touch with him? Does she have the same father as Daphne? Why don't Daphne and Denise like each other?

So many questions remain unanswered.

Are there any other characters (past or present) you'd like to know more about in EE? Are there any unanswered questions you'd like to see resolved?

I have no idea who Daphne is? I thought Kim and Denise didn't have any other siblings?

I wonder why they have never brought Ada in. She could be a love interest for Patrick.

Donna's birth parents and any other family she might have.

Arthur's side of the Fowlers.

Yeah did they ever really explain where Arthur's family were?

The backstory of the Watts wasn't really explored either was it?

I'd like Ada and Daphne brought in as well as Chelsea returning full time with Libby doing recurring since she is at Uni.

Not that I can recall. She turned up, was never mentioned previously and has never been mentioned since

Yes I would like to explore the Fox's background. I think EastEnders has a lot of characters with potentially interesting back stories.

I'd also like to see some 'prequels' if that makes sense of what characters were doing previous to living in the square. E.g. a one off drama about Stan, Babe & Sylvie when they were young. Or explore Babe & Queenie baby selling & maybe include young Shirley. I don't know if it's been done but a background story about the Slater's would also be good perhaps starting with Viv & Charlie meeting and going through until Zoe & her twin were born. Cora Cross would be another good character for a background story in the 60s/70s and Den & Angie Watts.

I can't really blame Daphne for wanting nothing to do with a bitter, thieving, hypocritical, violent, alcoholic thug like Denise.

Even though i love Ronnie, i'm not particularly sad by her and Roxy's exits. I am disappointed it probably means we'll never see Glenda ever again as i still believe there are a whole wealth of storylines that could have been explored with her. I might be wrong but when she returned last time (or the time before that), she took out a mysterious photo of a little girl which i got the impression wasn't Ronnie, Roxy or Amy and i assumed that was leading somewhere. It was never mentioned again and Glenda left again as quickly as she came.

Ada Fox has always been a strange anomaly. Denise and the girls mentioned her quite a bit in the first couple of years but once she was saddled with Patrick as a father figure her real mother has barely been mentioned in years. I'd love for them to bring her in.

I never understood inventing another sister for Denise and Kim for one episode and never see or mention her again. Again i assumed there were plans to bring her in at a later date but nothing ever happened and now seems odd.

Joey and Alice's Mother and Derek's ex wife could have been explored. All the excuses as to why she couldn't come contributed to why all 3 characters flopped.

Mo Harris supposedly had quite a few children/probably hundreds of other grandkids but only seemed interested in Viv's kids. Guess we'll never know that backstory as Mo's never going to be a permanent character again.

Masood had that weird flirtation with his brother's abandoned wife which was hinted to have possibly had some past to it that never got explored further.

Forgot about Jack's supposedly dodgy background in the police force. It was always hinted at that he was a bit of a bent cop but other than the flimsy storyline about why Penny was in a wheelchair due to being run over by a criminal after revenge they've never delved that deep into it. Maybe once Ronnie's gone we might get to see some of the tougher, badder side of Jack?

Plus they just refused to ever delve into Roxy's past with drugs. Yes she was a drug mule for like 2 episodes, but it was always hinted that she was addicted in Ibiza, yet whenever it comes up it's glossed over again and forgotten.

There is going to be a real lack of older characters soon so Ada Fox whom i have always wanted to see should arrive.

Id like to know where Kathy and Gavin were during the 10 years they pretended to be dead. Where were they living? What were they doing? Why did it take Kathy 10 years to escape Gavin's clutches and return to her family? We know Gavin's sister Margaret was in on the con but who else was? Was Gavin's other sister the mysteriously mentioned but never seen Sally? She was the one who informed Ian and Jane of Gavin and Kathy's deaths in the first place. And what about Kathy's brother and Gavin's supposed old friend Ted? Where did he fit in?

Oh sorry I thought you meant Will Smith was in EastEnders

I'm too young to remember Fresh Prince Of Bell Air and I wasn't watching EastEnders in 2006 I'm only 22.

From what I can recall Geoffrey aka Aubrey couldn't have children and it was proven he wasn't Denise's father. Patrick lied that he was Denise's father but she found out that it wasn't the case. There were two other potential daddy's who were in the band but I think they thought it was most likely that Porkpie from Desmond's was actually her dad but he died.

Will Smith passing for Diane Parish's father would have been quite the great stretch lmao

I thought the story was silly and I'm pleased Patrick wasn't her real dad. The relationship they have now proves it wasn't needed. It would have been just one of those silly situations where you turn up in Walford and find a long lost relation.

My bad I googled Fresh Prince and saw Will Smith. Not sure what I was thinking. I've never watched that show either. Way before my time.
