These 7 EastEnders stars are unrecognisable from their time on Albert Square – can you guess who they are?

EASTENDERS has been on our screens since 1985 – and a lot of faces have come and gone during that time.

So if you consider yourself to be an Albert Square super fan, see if you can work out who these unrecognisable former EastEnders stars are.

GUESS WHO?

This actor was a soap heartthrob during his time on the show and was part of the original cast.

His character had an affair with Cindy Beale and a subsequent feud with her husband, Ian Beale.

During his time on the show he also performed a song which was then released in real life and reached number one in the UK singles charts.

This actress was a fan favourite during her time in Walford and was best friends with Shirley.

She appeared in the show for five years until she met a grisly and sad end at the hands of Ben Mitchell.

This actor proved to be another Albert Square heartthrob during his time on the show between 1998 and 2002.

The character was part of one of the show’s biggest families and had a number of important storylines including a rocky relationship with Sonia Fowler.

His death was traumatic for those who loved him on and off screen and has gone down in soap history as one of the most memorable.

Giving the previous actor a run for his money when it comes to memorable soap deaths, this actor’s character had a tragic end in 2010.

Before his untimely demise during the soap’s 25 anniversary live episode, the character was kidnapped by Nick Cotton and fell in love with Stacey Slater, before being betrayed by his dad.

The reveal of his dad’s affair with his wife was one of the soap’s biggest moments.

This actor appeared on the show for five years from 2010 to 2015 and brought some cheekiness to Walford.

During his time on the show the character had romances with Denise Fox, Poppy Meadow and Whitney Dean.

The character met a grisly demise by being crushed in a car at a scrapyard – a death originally intended for Vincent Hubbard.

This actress looks worlds away from her more dowdy EastEnders alter ego.

Her character first moved to the Square with her family in 2017 and they quickly made their mark.

While her character has brought plenty of humour, she has also had to deal with a tragic stillbirth and the death of her friend Shakil.

Ian Beale has had many wives and this actress played one of them during her time on the show from 2000 to 2004.

However their marriage fell apart when she had an affair with Garry Hobbs, before going on to give birth to Ian’s son Bobby.

The character was killed off in 2004 after tripping and falling down some stairs.
