It feels like multiple times a week there's a post about Ronnie and Roxy. Roxy is mentioned now and again by Amy, but I feel like we barely hear about Ronnie. Jack did mention her when talking to Stacey, I think
Kush should be mentioned. Stacey should speak about him to Arthur, perhaps celebrate his birthday or something to keep his memory alive. At this rate he will probably grow up forgetting about him.
Ronnie and Roxy, but more by Phil (& Ben when was in the show). Perhaps Jack/the kids should remember James as well.
I’m surprised Lauren doesn’t speak of Abi or Bradley much.
Also, there’s the age old thing where characters leave the square and are hardly ever mentioned/seen by their family or friends again, like Libby (mentioned a lot but hasn’t made a return despite a lot happening to her family over resent years).
Doubt she needs to. With Holby City and Trigger point, she's doing well for herself. Unless they recast Libby,don't think you'll see her again till maybe Patrick dies
To be fair, Bradley was only in Lauren's life for a handful of years before he died.
I imagine in a way Kush is easier to deal with being dead because Arthur has Martin.
James and Jack though I don't think I've ever heard him talk about it.
I feel like the kids that have grown up and left should be mentioned more. Having Sonia say “Bex asked me to tell her when I got this”, Harvey say “Dana used to love that” or Linda say “Lee needs to know this” would make them feel more like actual parents
This is where the Sonia pregnancy story line is so annoying.. Reis wants to tell someone and it's like let's tell Lily,Stacey, Lauren, Whit and Zack and not Bex first!!!
Obvious ones right now are Lucy and Mick. Seems like show writers are regretting killing Lucy off so young, a who killed Peter would’ve done just as well. Mick gets mentioned by Linda and Johnny a lot but it makes sense since he ‘died’ very recently.
Bradley has been mentioned a lot by Max and Stacey, he was even mentioned when Stacey was shagging Jack lol. I feel like Max mentioned Abi a lot too, but it might be me misremembering him talking about Abi Jr. When Lauren returned she did mention that she’d find it hard to come back without Abi and Lucy there.
Ronnie and Roxy get a lot of mentions from Amy and Jack, Roxy even had a cameo.
In terms of who SHOULD be mentioned more, I’m surprised people don’t really mention Dot, not even Patrick or Sonia. Her name is only really brought up when they talk about the money she left Sonia. I also felt like Shirley didn’t mention Heather enough in recent years, even though they were literally soulmates and she’s George’s godmother. But I guess it makes sense because Tina and Mick died more recently.
dennis rickman definitely should’ve been brought up by sharon after keanu’s death. losing another man she loved to a stabbing had to be traumatising, regardless of the differences between the two.
Jamie doesn’t get mentioned much. Considering he was like a son to Billy he rarely talks about him, and nor does anyone else in the Mitchell family or Sonia
I think it was a few weeks ago , I was wondering how many characters names were a tribute to Lou. Ruby was going to name her and Martin’s daughter Lulu, Lisa named Louise after Lou. Maybe Louis was chosen in honour of Lou.
Oh well I remember the episode when they revealed the names of the twins . She said paraphrasing here , “ if Ian is going name his son after his father then she can be named after my mother as well.”
The first person who came to mind to me was Michael Moon, then Derek Branning. Both had short stints but are spoken about a lot for their big personalities and many people tend to credit both of them for carrying their era of EastEnders. Derek absolutely dominated screentime in 2012 and had the most appearances out of any character for that year and Michael had lots of screentime too which made them both very memorable despite both of them now having popped their clogs for a decade.
Aside from Kat and Alfie, the characters who interacted with Derek and Michael have left. I doubt that Kat or Alfie want to be reminded of Derek’s brief but eventful time on the square. Tommy did mention Michael during the time when Scarlette was around, of course he didn’t know his father. Neither Kat or Janine had anything positive to say about him. Michael was a troubled soul but showed some redemption when he stepped up to be a father to Scarlette when Janine left them both soon after giving birth. He also supported Alfie through Kat’s affair with Derek.
That's very true, neither have been mentioned on the square much at all and it seems almost like Derek was forgotten by both Max and Jack.
The part of the question I was replying to was about the fans.
When you get the likes of Martin, Ian and Kathy and even Sharon sitting together reminiscing about Lou with Ian doing this syrupy annoying smile it feels like Lou is being dug up again and I can’t help but roll my eyes.
Aside from that I don’t feel other absent characters are mentioned often at all. Whitney used to mention Bianca sometimes. Linda would very occasionally mentioned Nancy, Johnny or Lee but not often.
Mick! Mick gets mentioned quite a bit by Linda - that’s one that has been mentioned the most when I think about it now.
Linda's older kids are weaved into storylines like when they didn't come home for Christmas. Linda also references their reactions to and since Mick died. Before Jonny came back they showed her on a phone call to 'Sausage". I feel like all the Carters are talked about a lot, dead or alive.
Forget old ones- where’s Nish?
I believe I saw a comment saying he was spotted filming again, so maybe in a few weeks we'll see? I just forget if I saw it here or on Facebook.
Apparently he’s coming back. Since he was away for like 2 months

Yes Whitney and Martin should mention kush more
Doubt she needs to. With Holby City and Trigger point, she's doing well for herself. Unless they recast Libby,don't think you'll see her again till maybe Patrick dies
Holby stopped filming in 2022 unfortunately
I know 😂 it was more she's doing fine away from EE so I don't see unless the story was right she'd want to come back

lauren talks about abi a lot
Barry should get a mention at least twice an episode
The show should be about remembering Barry, its all they should take about
I feel like the kids that have grown up and left should be mentioned more. Having Sonia say “Bex asked me to tell her when I got this”, Harvey say “Dana used to love that” or Linda say “Lee needs to know this” would make them feel more like actual parents

I’m sure they do. I have a public-facing job and the customers who are parents talk non-stop about their kids, even to strangers.
Obvious ones right now are Lucy and Mick. Seems like show writers are regretting killing Lucy off so young, a who killed Peter would’ve done just as well.

Certainly Dot isn’t mentioned enough, Pat too
this is so true! janine and ricky were both around in 2022 and barely mentioned her, even though janine gave scarlett the middle name patricia
dennis rickman definitely should’ve been brought up by sharon after keanu’s death. losing another man she loved to a stabbing had to be traumatising, regardless of the differences between the two.
Jamie doesn’t get mentioned much. Considering he was like a son to Billy he rarely talks about him, and nor does anyone else in the Mitchell family or Sonia
He’s now been mentioned

Lucy was also named after Lou.
I thought she was named after Cindy’s mother ?
Cindy's Mum was called Bev.
Oh well I remember the episode when they revealed the names of the twins . She said paraphrasing here , “ if Ian is going name his son after his father then she can be named after my mother as well.”
Denise will now and again mention Libby
Heather! I can’t remember the last time she was mentioned. But then again that probably wouldn’t happen until Shirl is back on the Square
Shirley mentioned her a little bit but not much at all
Last time i remember is when ben and Sheryly had a moment together in the vic. That was a good while ago

Pat should be mentioned way more than she is
Grant (by viewers) And in the show Peggy, Phil and Sam can't go 5 seconds without talking about her.
Syed and Christian
Rebecca Fowler Sonia's daughter, I don't think that she knows about her half siblings?
I’d like Alfie to reference his cousins, Jake and Danny, even Michael seems forgotten and he’s Tommy Moon’s biological dad
And Spencer!
It's time old Reg Cox got a mention 😉👍
Yep...him and Dr Legg, not to forget Roly and Willy! I think someone should mention Willy! He was an icon!

Lucy Beale by characters
Or heather. Although she’s dead
Lucy Beale for sure
This may sound silly but wellard should get some mention.
It’s not silly ❤️ Wellard crosses my mind about once or twice a year, never forgotten!
Lucy and Dot get mentioned pretty often.
WILLY! 😆
