Pete Beale Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

EastEnders fans have spotted a big clue that could mean the return of a major character who first appeared on the show 30 years ago. In a recent episode, Ravi invited his ex Priya - who he clearly still has feelings for - to dinner with her new love interest Martin at Walford East. As they chatted over their meal, Martin mentioned David Wicks, sparking speculation among fans.

It's hard to imagine your favourite soap star played by anyone else. By now you will have got used to their ways of talking, acting and have them fully integrated into that character's way of life - but imagine if someone else had bagged the role instead? Whether it be on the Square or the cobbles, Stacey Slater played by Lacey Turner and Sarah Platt played by Tina O'Brien just makes sense.

Kathy Beale is one of Walford's leading ladies after appearing on the first-ever EastEnders episode in February 1985. During earlier episodes of the much-loved BBC One soap, Kathy was married to Pete Beale (Peter Dean), the twin brother to Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richard), who was famed for selling his fruit and veg on Bridge Street Market - now owned by Martin Fowler (James Bye).

As Peter and Cindy Beale make their surprising return to Albert Square this week, many fans at home have been raising a few eyebrows over just how close both of Peter’s siblings Anna Knight and Bobby Beale have been getting. Although the pair are completely unaware of their shared sibling connection, and have no biological bond, things are far from simple when it comes to navigating the complexities of the Beale family tree. But fear not soap fans, as OK! has you covered with a quick run down of who's who in the Beale family tree.

EastEnders' legend Michael French, who played the iconic character David Wicks, looked unrecognisable as he was spotted out for the first time in years, taking his dog for a walk. Michael's colourful character David Wicks first entered our screens in 1993, as the son of Pete Beale and Pat Butcher. Wicks made a bombshell appearance on the show when he turned up to Albert Square for his dad's funeral, after having lost touch with his family.
