Danny Dyer

**Danny Dyer** (born Danial John Dyer on 24th July 1977 in East London) is an English actor who appeared on *EastEnders* as Mick Carter from December 2013 to December 2022.

Danny began acting as a teenager, but due to bullying, lied about taking acting classes. He was discovered at a local school by an agent who auditioned him for a part in *Prime Suspect 3* in 1993, which marked the beginning of his long-running, successful career. Since then, he has gone on to appear in numerous television productions, including *A Touch of Frost*, *The Ruth Rendell Mysteries*, *The Bill*, *Highlander*, *Foyle's War*, *MIT: Murder Investigation Team*, *Casualty*, *Plebs* and *Hollyoaks Later*. In addition to television, Danny has also enjoyed appearances in many film productions, including *Human Traffic*, *The Other Half*, *Straightheads*, *Malice in Wonderland*, *Devil's Playground* and *Vendetta*.

In 2009, Danny was offered a role in *EastEnders*; he turned the job down and insisted at the time that he would not join the cast until he was "fat, bald and fifty". However, after joining the cast in 2013, Danny won many awards, including serial drama performance at the National Television Awards in 2015, 2016 and 2019. He left the show in 2013.

Besides acting, Danny has appeared as the host on the Saturday night BBC One game show *The Wall* since 2019, which sees contestants use strategy, knowledge and luck to win money. He has also appeared on *Who Do You Think You Are?*, where he learnt on the show that, from tracing his ancestors far back, his 15x great grandfather was Thomas Cromwell.

David Scarboro

**David Timothy Scarboro** (born 3rd February 1968 in London and died 27th April 1988 at Beachy Head) appeared as the first incarnation of Mark Fowler on *EastEnders* from the shows inception in February 1985 and lasting on two months as regular cast member and afterward making several guest appearances, with his last being on the Christmas Day episode of 1987.

He went to school in Hamsey Green and Warlingham and began acting at the age of twelve, deciding soon afterwards that he would try to get into the profession. He then joined Saturday classes at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.

His early determination paid off, and a few before making his East End debut, he had appeared in BBC TV's *Grange Hill*, Central's *Tales Out Of School*, and played the lead in the BBC Schools drama *Good Neighbours*. David also played the rhythm guitar in a group and liked going to gigs. He admired a wide range of singers and groups.

Elements of the UK tabloid press reported that Scarboro had been fired from *EastEnders* for turning up late for filming and being uncooperative on set. Away from the series, Scarboro initiated libel proceedings after several national papers published inaccurate stories about his private life, but the press continued to pursue him and his family. The News of the World discovered that Scarboro was in a psychiatric unit, and published photographs of the place. Scarboro subsequently left the unit because he could no longer get adequate treatment, and inaccurate stories about his condition were being published. He died on 27th April 1988. His body was found at the bottom of Beachy Head. The coroner gave an open verdict on his death. A documentary on his life was produced by the BBC in 1988 titled *My Brother David* and was presented by his brother Simon. His parents left the country soon after their son's death.

The character of Mark Fowler was not killed off, and the character was reintroduced in 1990 to be played by Todd Carty. The character continued in *EastEnders* as a regular character until 2003, when the character was written out of the series and died off-screen the following year.
Disa O'Brien

**Disa O'Brien** was a homeless woman who befriended Dot Cotton.

In 1990, Disa came into contact with teenage runaway Diane Butcher at a café. Diane falsely claimed to work in a club but Disa saw through the deception and befriended her. She began to show Diane the ways of the street and encouraged her to steal and beg for money. Diane contacted her father Frank to inform him that she would not be returning home and began making plans to live at a flat with Disa. Disa came up with a plan to earn money by having Diane pretend to prostitute herself before escaping with the cash. Diane went along with the scheme and entered Matthew Taylor's car where she attempted to flee after taking the £50 he had offered for her services, however, Matthew locked the car to prevent her escape. A week later Disa found Diane and learned that she had earned £100 by modelling for Matthew. Sometime after Disa was arrested and Diane returned home.

It wasn't until December that the pair crossed paths again, with Diane bumping into Disa while shopping in London with her boyfriend Mark Fowler. Diane felt bad for not helping Disa and spoke to Frank about having her stay with them. When Frank agreed, Diane and Mark trawled the streets looking for Disa and Mark managed to find her but witnessed her being attacked by a man, Ken Raynor. Mark intervened and he fled with Disa when a police officer spotted them all fighting. Mark later lost Disa again and Diane paid a man called Jimmy, who claimed to know Disa, £50 to help find her. The man successfully located Disa but she refused help from Diane. Instead Disa found shelter and ended up going into labour by herself on Christmas Day. She later left her daughter, Jasmine, on Diane's doorstep.

In 2022, she attended Dot's funeral.

Dennis Rickman (son of Sharon Watts)

**Dennis Rickman Jr** was the son of Sharon Watts and Dennis Rickman. Dennis was seen as a spoilt and bratty child throughout his childhood, and often bullied kids in and around his age, such as Will Mitchell and Bobby Beale. Idolising Phil Mitchell, Dennis thought he could do what or said what he liked to the residents of Walford, this often landed him in trouble, with Sharon defending him countless times.

As he aged, Dennis started to become more thuggish and even hits Sharon at one point. In February 2020, Dennis is killed in a Boat Crash that was unintentionally caused by his adoptive father, Phil, after being locked in a room by Ian Beale. Ian attempted to save Dennis, but it was too late. The day Dennis died was the same day his younger brother, Albie Watts, was born.

Well over a year after his death, in November 2021, Dennis is revealed to be a father to a baby girl named Alyssa Lennox, having slept with Jada Lennox merely months before his death.
