Top 10 Best EastEnders Characters of All Time

List your favorite EastEnders characters who have ever appeared on the show.

1. Phil Mitchell

   

2. Den Watts

   

   The true EastEnders icon who managed to put Phil in his place without breaking a sweat. Even death couldn't stop him from returning to wreak more havoc.

   The weak bosses who fired him in 2005 really messed up bad. His continuing feuds with the fat "Right Said Fred" lookalikes would have been legendary. Shame!

   The greatest, coolest, and best landlord the soaps have ever seen.

   Greatest soap character ever. His comeback in 2003 was awesome.

3. Ronnie Mitchell

   

   Veronica Elizabeth "Ronnie" Branning is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Samantha Womack. She first appeared in the series in 2007 and became a central figure in many major storylines. Ronnie is known for her troubled past and her complex relationship with her sister... read more

   Great actress and needed a happy ending.

4. Peggy Mitchell

   

5. Grant Mitchell

   

   Phil and Sharon are right up there, but their characters were never better than when interacting with Grant. Grant always brings so much life and excitement to every episode he's in!

6. Pat Butcher

   

   Pat is literally my all-time favourite character, followed closely by Den Watts. I think she is brilliant.

   She is different from when she started, but not many characters can change that much and pull it off. She also has amazing earrings.

   Fantastic character. The original tart with a heart. Loved her.

7. Sharon Watts

   

8. Ian Beale

   

9. Lauren Branning

   

10. Stacey Slater

    

    She is the best and an amazing and inspiring actor. I love her bipolar storyline, which taught me that bipolar disorder can get that bad.

    Her family is nice, and she drew my eyes to EastEnders ever since she came to the show way back in 2004.

    Stacey is the best character in EastEnders.

    Due to her adapted role with bipolar disorder and the many storylines she conquered, she should be proud.

    By a mile, the best actress in the show.

13. Kat Slater

    

    In my opinion, the 2000s would be nothing without the Slaters, and the Slaters would be nothing without Kat.

    Criminally underrated.

14. Roxy Mitchell

    

15. Dot Branning

    

    Why so low? She was there from the start!

16. Tanya Branning

    

    I am voting because I really love this actor. She is such a nice lady and has been my favourite actor since I started watching this soap.

    She is a fighter and has backbone in a sexy body!

17. Joey Branning

    

18. Anthony Moon

    

19. Peter Beale

    

20. Janine Butcher

    

    There have been a lot of bitches in EastEnders, but by far she is my favourite. I love her relationship with Pat and her family.

    I also love Charlie Brooks. She's amazing, and I loved her in the jungle.

    Best baddie on EE.

21. Nick Cotton

    

22. Alfie Moon

    

    How can you not love him? He's cheeky, funny, and a bit of an idiot, but in a nice way.

    He also completes Kat, and do you really think it's a coincidence that Kat goes on about her man in the moon and Alfie's name is Alfie Moon?

23. Pauline Fowler

    

24. Tyler Moon

    

25. Michelle Fowler

    

26. Michael Moon

    

27. Dennis Rickman

    

    I must have forgotten to rank him when I originally made this. He's my 2nd or 3rd favourite EastEnders character. He was only in it for two years, so he had a short run, but it truly was an entertaining two years. Every scene he was in was good. Superb and complex character.

    Good character in EastEnders, back when it was watchable!
