The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera "EastEnders" in 1993, by order of first appearance.
 1994 was a historic year for "EastEnders", as in April, a third weekly episode was introduced.
 Due to the programme's increased frequency, a number of new characters were introduced to the regular cast in the latter part of 1993 and early 1994.
 Among them were the Jackson family: mother Carol (Lindsey Coulson), her four children, Bianca (Patsy Palmer), Robbie (Dean Gaffney), Sonia (Natalie Cassidy), and Billie (Devon Anderson), as well as Carol's partner Alan Jackson (Howard Antony).
 Though Carol and Alan were not initially married in the serial, and though Alan was only the biological father of Billie, the whole family took on Alan's surname.
 The family was created by writer Tony McHale.
 None of the actors cast as the Jackson family were matched for appearance or screen compatibility.
 Cassidy has commented, "it was all decided without doing that.
 I don't think it particularly mattered that none of us Jackson kids looked like each other because all our characters had different dads!"
 Carol was Coulson's first major television role.
 Various members of the family began to appear sporadically from November 1993 onwards, but in episodes that aired early in 1994, the Jacksons moved from Walford Towers, a block of flats, to the soap's focal setting of Albert Square.
 Their slow introduction was a deliberate attempt by the programme makers to introduce the whole family over a long period.
 The Jacksons have been described by "EastEnders" scriptwriter Colin Brake as a "classic problem family".
Kristian Valen (born 13 October 1974) is a comedian, actor, singer and songwriter originally from Stavanger, Norway.
 Known for comedic impressions, Valen has also pursued a serious music career; his pop music album "Listen When Alone" was released internationally in Europe and Asia.
 Valen was asked by Katherine Jackson to perform his song "Still Here" at the Jackson Family Foundation’s Forever Michael: A Celebration of an Icon, the one year Michael Jackson memorial show held in 2010 at Beverly Hilton Hotel the home of the Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
Michael Jackson's This Is It (or simply This Is It) is a posthumous two-disc soundtrack album by American singer Michael Jackson.
 Released by MJJ Music on October 26, 2009, "This Is It" features previously released music, as well as six previously unreleased recordings by Michael Jackson.
 "This Is It" was released to coincide with the theatrical release of "Michael Jackson's This Is It", a concert film documenting Michael Jackson's rehearsals for the This Is It concert series at London's O2 Arena.
 "This Is It" is the sixth album to be released by Sony and Motown/Universal since Michael Jackson's death in June 2009.
The Victory Tour was a concert tour of the United States and Canada by Michael Jackson and The Jackson family between July and December 1984.
 It was the first and only tour with all six Jackson brothers (even though Jackie was injured for most of the tour).
 The group performed 55 concerts to an audience of approximately 2 million.
 Most came to see Michael, whose album "Thriller" was dominating the popular music world at the time.
 Many consider it to be his "Thriller" tour, with most of the songs on the set list coming off of his "Off the Wall" album and from the "Thriller" album.
 The tour reportedly grossed approximately $75 million (US$ in 2016 dollars ) and set a new record for the highest grossing tour.
 It showcased Michael's single decorated glove, black sequined jacket and moonwalk.
Joseph Walter Jackson (born July 26, 1928) is an American talent manager, and is the patriarch of the Jackson family of entertainers which includes the artists Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson.
Carol Ann Jackson is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera "EastEnders", played by Lindsey Coulson.
 The character was introduced in 1993 as the mother of the Jackson family.
 Coulson decided to quit the role in 1997, but she returned temporarily in 1999 within a storyline that marked Carol's daughter Bianca's (Patsy Palmer) exit.
 On 25 October 2009 it was confirmed that she would return along with other members of the Jackson family, Sonia (Natalie Cassidy), Robbie (Dean Gaffney) and Billie (Devon Anderson), on 15 February 2010, although her first appearance in 2010 is in "EastEnders: Last Tango in Walford", an episode released exclusively to DVD on 8 February 2010.
 Coulson chose to leave the show for a third time in June 2015, with her exit aired on 2 October 2015.
"Big Boy" (also known as "I'm a Big Boy Now") is the debut single by The Jackson 5 and the first song sung by Michael Jackson.
 "Big Boy was released by Steeltown Records, a record company in Gary, Indiana, in January 1968.
 After it was released, the song played on radio stations in the Chicago-Gary area and was a local hit.
 Beginning in March 1968, Steeltown Records sold thousands of copies of "Big Boy" nationally through a distribution deal with Atlantic Records, but it was neither a critical nor commercial success.
 The Jackson family, however, were delighted with the outcome nonetheless.
 The Jackson 5 would release a second single on the "Steeltown" label before signing with Motown Records in Detroit, the 26th of July 1968.
 The group played instruments on many of their Steeltown compositions, including "Big Boy".
 The group's recordings at Steeltown Records were thought to be lost, but they were rediscovered more than 25 years later.
 They were remastered and released in 1995, with "Big Boy" as the promotional lead single.
The Jackson 5 was an American music group, formed in 1963 by the Jackson family brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael and Tito.
 The quintet's first singles were recorded at Steeltown Records, a local label in their hometown of Gary, Indiana.
 Songs recorded at Steeltown included "You've Changed", "We Don't Have To Be Over 21 (to Fall in Love)" and "Big Boy".
 According to music journalist Nelson George, Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5's "real" recording history did not begin until their move to Motown Records in 1968.
 The then Detroit-based company, led by Berry Gordy, housed established recording artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross, as well as a producing-writing team known as "The Corporation".
 Jackson 5 hit singles such as "I Want You Back", "ABC" and "The Love You Save" were written by the Motown team, and aided the five brothers in becoming the first black teen idols.
