Talk:List of EastEnders characters (1985)

message: This source says Barnsey's last appearance was on 1 May 1990, but the article says January 1989 - which is correct? -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 00:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, I think that was the day Den was supposedly buried, so he could of made an appearance. I have seen that episode a while ago but didnt pay attention to him because I wasnt familiar with him. I assumed it was a mistake on Walford.net's part, they seem to have made a lot of mistakes with the dates for 1988-1989 characters, especially the Dickens Hill ones. Best to leave it out until we can confirm.Gungadin 00:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there any way you can see the episode again? -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 01:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it was on one of those UK Gold marathon things, so I dont have the episode at hand. It does make sense that he appeared at the funeral though. He and Den were close, they talked about meeting on the outside and Den said he'd give him a job at his bar. But then Den was killed and I dont think they mentioned whether Barnes got off at his trial or not. I'll try and find out though.Gungadin 01:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Also, is it Barnesy or Barnsey? Barnesy would make more sense... -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 17:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: what exactly needs to be done on this page is it something to do with the order of the characters,watever it is id be happy to help:) Brianwazere 23:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I didn't know what order the characters appeared in the first episode, I just knew who was in the first scene, so I put them in sort of random order. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Problems with the article

message: I think that Tracey should have her own page due to her being in Eastenders since 19 February 1985 and she has had speking roles and has constantly appeard since her first apperance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheep 2009 (talk • contribs) 19:52, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: She's an extra who has a few lines. We have no real-world information about the character, so the article would be nothing but plot. It would be very short, and would just end up being merged back here for failing Wikipedia's guidelines on writing about fiction. AnemoneProjectors 20:27, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: She should have her own article surely by now? JackJackUK (talk) 20:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  See my sandbox article for her here, which I will start editing on, when I have time. MayhemMario 20:28, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Find some sources then Jack! Bleaney (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm still fully opposed to this. –AnemoneProjectors– 14:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: @AnemoneProjectors How can you justify allowing Poppy Meadow her own article, who appeared for LESS than a year, and wasn't even a regular, than Tracy who has been in the show since its launch. It's an insult to the character. JackJackUK (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Because, Jack, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an invalid argument. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't really answer why Tracey shouldn't get her own article though does it? JackJackUK (talk) 16:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Because she's an extra, not a character. Her list entry can be expanded if the information is good enough and she should be used to bulk out that list. We don't need to split every character. It's gone into overkill lately, and this has turned into a fansite. (Gone now until tomorrow) –AnemoneProjectors– 16:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I thought the list is too messy as chronological. However, I did not read the introduction, as I realized that the list is meant to be chronological. Still, the TOC looks too messy, especially if the intro is barely read. What is trivial, and what is relevant? --George Ho (talk) 18:24, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you think is trivial and relevant? I'm not sure to what you refer. –AnemoneProjectors– 13:48, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know anymore. I have good intentions, but I never thought about consequences. Now I'm feeling ashamed about restructing edits here. However, well, I didn't read this page, but maybe I've been inexcusable. --George Ho (talk) 00:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I have struck out previous comments I made, so I hope complications lessen. To be honest, nothing is trivial here. I just said it because... I don't know what to say. Putting characters into chronological order is... necessary, but I also did arranging contents into family order for general use. --George Ho (talk) 02:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronological vs. general sense? 

message: Someone has added an entire section on here about a character called Dan Evans. I know a lot of the characters on this list are unsourced, but is there any way of knowing if this character actually featured, or is this hoax? Bleaney (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks mario, ive been bold and deleted it! Bleaney (talk) 14:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  It looks like that IP has a user account, Ohio 99 (contribs-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ohio99), so we'll probably have to go through an delete al the edits that IP made and the account. — M.Mario (T/C)  14:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is definitely a hoax. I have all EastEnders episodes on my hard drive and I looked at the episode "Dan Evans" supposedly appeared in (1 August) and I never saw him at all and he wasn't credited. I tried to look at Dan supposed departure episode but there was no episode broadcast on 22 December 1985. Will remove now. GeorgePing! 14:30, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's already been removed, but the user made a redirect to the character on the 1990 list (which I have deleted), named Bryan Coleman (EastEnders), what do we do with the redirect? Also, the two accounts are linked, sockpuppetry case? — M.Mario (T/C)  14:33, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  What do I do with the empty redirect of Clive Bradshaw and Bryan Coleman (EastEnders)??? — M.Mario (T/C)  14:38, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This has happened before, but I can't remember who the puppet master is at the moment. In the future tag the hoaxes for deletion. - JuneGloom  Talk 19:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Did he definitely appear in episode 14? Because I didn't see him until episode 37 when he was in the café. I just wanted to double check. — ᴀnemoneᴘroᴊecтors 23:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No he didn't. Sorry, at the time when I first saw him I didn't realise the episodes I'd been watching had been wrongly labelled and I'd never even seen episodes 9 to 12! He does definitely appear in episode 18, in a scene in the pub. 92.1.208.125 (talk) 12:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

text: • Oppose - For me, if we have to change the EastEnders characters pages from saying List of EastEnders characters to List of EastEnders characters introduced in 1985 or List of EastEnders characters introduced in 2023, it could set a precedent that we need to change the rest of every list of soap characters in Wikipedia just to be consistent if this change would be implemented. In addition, we would have to pages like these with longer titles. While the latter issue I have with this potential change is not necessary bad, I just don't think it's worth the risk of changing one soap's list of characters if it means to changing the rest of every list of soap opera characters. 174.44.191.134 (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
