Carly Wicks

**Carly Wicks** was the daughter of Shirley Carter and half-sister of Mick, Jimbo and Dean.

Carly arrived on Albert Square in February 2006 to live with her 'father' Kevin Wicks and brother Dean after splitting from her husband Nico Pappas. She soon settled into the square after landing a job as a mechanic at Mitchell's Auto and befriended Dawn Swann and Chelsea Fox. She was later unwittingly introduced to her estranged mother Shirley and was devastated to learn that Kevin was not her biological father. Carly began a sexual relationship with Sean Slater which incensed Chelsea who, alongside Dean, cooked up a scheme to have Sean framed and imprisoned for an attack on Patrick Truman. Carly, however, exposed the plot causing Chelsea and Dean to be charged instead. She later ended things with Sean after he had Dean beaten up.

When Kevin died in a car crash Carly was devastated and rejected Shirley's efforts to console her, she travelled abroad with her stepmother Denise Fox in order to scatter his ashes and decided to remain in Thailand. She eventually settled in Sydney and gave birth to a son, Jimmy, in 2012. She reached out to her grieving mother several months later, who had suffered a breakdown following the death of her best friend Heather Trott, and the pair made amends. In 2022, Carly invited Shirley to stay with her following Mick's assumed death.

Annie (Episode 6093)

**Annie** was a woman who attended the cake sale at Walford East to support cancer patients and hear their stories.

When Jean Slater became suspicious of newcomer Suki Panesar's claims that she had cancer, she decided to hold the cake sale in the hopes of catching her out. Whilst they were there, Jean and Suki listened to Annie's story of how she had gone off the sight of food and could not exercise. Afterwards, Jean encouraged Suki to share her cancer story, assuming she had one to tell. Jean was then mortified when, as Suki repeated to Annie the affects cancer had on her, she realised that Suki was simply relaying what she had told her earlier about how cancer affected her life. It was at that moment Jean's suspicions over Suki were confirmed, and she later exposed Suki for the repulsive liar she truly was.

He additionally got the place, and the Principal was even more astounded when Bill immediately took out a fistful of large white £5 notes and counted out the first term's fees.

His many television credits include *Angels, The Agatha Christie Hour* and *Grange Hill*, and before just before *EastEnders* the BBC tv children's series *Who Sir? Me Sir?*.

Satsuki Higanbana

**Satsuki Higanbana** (彼(ひ)岸(がん)花(ばな)さつき, *Higanbana Satsuki*) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure.

## **Appearance**

### **Part I**

Satsuki's hair reaches her chest, with two locks of similar length framing her face. She wears a short, red jacket with bell sleeves and a golden seam lining the collar and going down the front. Underneath the jacket is a black shirt, matching shorts, shin-high black sandals, and fingerless black gloves. Her hitai-ate is worn as a belt.

### **Part II**

Satsuki's hair is pulled into a messy ponytail and she now wears a short, open red vest with bell sleeves and gold buttons. She still has the same shirt, shorts, gloves, and sandals seen in her Part I outfit, but she's added a pair of black tights to cover her legs. Most notably, she now has a large, uneven burn scar surrounding her left eye and covering part of her cheek, brow, and nose.

## **Personality**

As a child, Satsuki was shown to be a bright, bubbly, and ambitious girl who wanted to help others. However, the death of her sensei and years of working as a kunoichi have desensitized her to the world's horrors and left her as a stoic, cynical shell of her former self.

## **Development**

### **Etymology**

**Satsuki** is a Japanese girl's name with several meanings, such as 'blossom', and 'May'.

**Higanbana** is the Japanese name for the red spider lily, a flower that symbolizes lost memories and people never meeting again.

Beale and Fowler family

The **Beales and the Fowlers** are the longest serving family in Albert Square, Walford. The original Beale/Fowler family consisted of matriarch Lou Beale and her children Pete and Pauline, alongside their families including their children Ian, Mark, Michelle and their spouses Kathy Hills and Arthur Fowler.

Since 1939, the Beales own the market stall in Walford. Local miser Ian is the owner of Meal Machine before the business dissolves and the Arches garage for a while before Phil Mitchell buys it again. Ian owns several other businesses: the market stall, Bridge Street Café ("Kathy's", 1990–2011, 2016– "Mandy's", 2012, "Cindy's" 2012–2016), Fit For a Queen (part of Masala Queen, 2008–2011), Beale's Plaice (since 1995, briefly named Peter's Place in 1997) and Beale's Restaurant (2014–2017; previously Ian Beale@Le Square, 2013, and Scarlett's, 2013–2014). In 2012, Ian signs all his businesses and properties, including 45 Albert Square, to his daughter Lucy Beale, who is also a landlord of many flats in George Street. They are eventually returned to Ian.

Ian also owns The Queen Victoria in 2009 as part of a loan contract, which he sells to Archie Mitchell. Chrissie Watts also sells it illegally to him in 2005. As she has forged her husband's signature, it is returned to the Watts. In 2020, Ian once again buys the Vic for Sharon Watts. David Wicks, Ian's half-brother, owns the car lot when he lives in Albert Square whilst Lucy co-owned property letting agency *LB Lettings* alongside her best friend Lauren Branning until her death in 2014.

## Behind the scenes

The Beales and Fowlers are one of *EastEnders* most iconic families and have been a major part of the show since its inception in 1985. They have been known for their ownership and occupation of some the Square's business including a café, launderette and a fruit stall which have become historical references to show. The Beales and Fowlers are characterized as a traditional "East-end family" and have been known for representing the show in some of its classical storylines which have brought the show some of its highest viewers which include their rivalry with the Watts, Mitchell and Branning families, shady publican Den Watts impregnating 16-year old Michelle Fowler leading to the birth of Vicki, Mark Fowler revealing his HIV diagnosis, Arthur Fowler's affair with Christine Hewitt and later being wrongly imprisoned for embezzlement, Ian being shot by a hitman hired by his wife Cindy, Mel Healy jilting Ian at the turn of the millennium, Pauline's death, Lucy Beale being murdered by her younger brother Bobby, and Kathy’s return after being presumed dead.

Members of the Beale family currently in *EastEnders* as of 2023 include Bobby, Martin, Martin's daughter Hope, Ian and Peter. Additionally, several others may be considered Beales through marriage; Ian's mother and Pete's ex-wife Kathy, his half-brother Ben Mitchell, his niece Lexi Pearce and Martin's wives Sonia, and Stacey Slater are also among these. Lily Slater and Arthur Fowler have Pauline and Arthur’s son, Martin, as their adoptive father. Ian's ex wife Cindy is also considered a member of the family.
Hitsu Ishizumi

**Hitsu Ishizumi** (石(いし)墨(ずみ)・筆(ひつ), *Ishizumi Hitsu*), also known as **Hero** (Kana, *Romaji*), is a student in Class 2-A at U.A High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Hitsu is a fair-skinned teenage boy of below-average height with a somewhat frail-looking figure. His short white hair is tipped with pink and parted in the middle, and his eyes are bright blue. He typically has an unsure expression on his face, and his arms are often covered in small drawings.

During school hours, he wears the standard male uniform which consists of a gray blazer with blue-green stripes, a white collared button-up shirt, red tie, blue-green pants, and brown loafers.

His hero costume (TBA).

## Personality

Hitsu is an incredibly reserved boy who desperately seeks approval from others, often to an unhealthy degree.

## Abilities

### Quirk

**Skin Sketch** (肌(はど)絵(え), *Hado E*): Hitsu's Quirk gives him the ability to bring anything drawn on his skin to life.

This Quirk relies on Hitsu's drawing abilities; a shoddily drawn knife will be no stronger than cardboard, while an extremely detailed knife will be almost as strong as the real thing. Due to the time it takes to draw, Hitsu often draws a wide variety of objects all over his body just in case he'll need them.

Overuse of his Quirk causes his skin to dry out.

Carol Hanley

**Carol Hanley** (née **Stretton**) was the biological mother of Sharon Watts.

In 1969, Carol had a fling with Gavin Sullivan which resulted in the birth of their daughter, Sharon. Carol suffered a mental breakdown following Sharon's birth and, upon realising that he had no paternal instincts, Gavin decided to trade Sharon to a childless couple he knew, Den and Angie Watts, in exchange for participation in a bank raid that Den was working on. Gavin's sister Margaret Midhurst arranged the adoption and Sharon was raised by Den and Angie at The Queen Victoria pub on Albert Square.

In 1983, Carol married Ron Hanley and over the coming years the pair had two sons Jonathan and Kristopher Hanley. Carol was pregnant again in 1990 when she was visited by Sharon's best friend Michelle Fowler after Sharon had decided to track her down. Michelle spoke to Carol and Ron about reconnecting with Sharon after years of absence. Carol ultimately agreed to phone Sharon and Michelle relayed the information, however, Sharon was stunned when Ron instead contacted her saying that Carol had been hospitalised. Sharon arrived at Whitcliffe Hospital to discover that Carol had given birth to a daughter, Diane.

Carol was initially hostile towards Sharon, but the pair soon begin to get on better after a heart-to-heart. Ron later advised Sharon to stay away from Carol for the foreseeable as her presence had brought distress to the family. Sharon was later surprised to learn that she had received a missed phone call from Carol and when she phoned back Sharon was delighted that Carol still wanted to talk to her. Carol visited Sharon as she was interested to learn more about her but in August she informed Sharon that she and her family were going away for a while and gave Sharon a family heirloom to remember her by.

Sharon next visited Carol in October, but was upset when Carol referred to her as just a friend in front of her children. Carol finally informed her sons about Sharon's true identity leaving Sharon hopeful that she was finally being accepted as part of the family, but when Carol confessed that she only thought of Sharon as a good friend she was heartbroken and realised that there would never be a parental bond between them. Sharon decided to severe contact with her mother.

Twenty-five years later in January 2015, Sharon received a letter from Carol. She hesitated to act upon it for several weeks but eventually decided to pay her estranged family a visit. Arriving at the house with her best friend Linda Carter as support, Sharon was greeted by Kristopher who informed her that Carol had passed away and that her funeral was taking place. Sharon pretended to have been an old friend of Carol's, signed her condolences book and left once again.
