Introduced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins
Classification Present; recurring

Sophie Dodd, played by Poppy Rush,[2] appears in seven episodes between 4 and 19 January 2016 and four episodes between 27 April and 2 May 2016.

Sophie is the best friend of Kyle Slater (Riley Carter Millington), and along with Ricksy Hicks (Joel Phillimore) and another friend, they arrive in Walford when Kyle decides to meet his half-sister Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner).[3] While Kyle is meeting her, Sophie and Ricksy discuss their friendship with Kyle, and it is revealed that she has stood by him while during an event in his life (later revealed to be his transition from female to male). After Kyle meets Stacey, he tells Sophie that she is a bit weird, and Sophie says she is proud of him and asks if he has told her his secret; he says he does not want her to know.[4] They go to The Queen Victoria public house,[5][6] and Sophie and Ricksy wait there while Kyle visits Stacey again, and when they order food, it is too salty because it has been sabotaged by Babe Smith (Annette Badland).[7] They leave later when Kyle says things with Stacey were complicated.[8] Eventually, Kyle moves in with Stacey and gets a job at Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) restaurant. Sophie comes to Walford to support Kyle when the restaurant hosts the Pride of Walford Awards. She meets Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) and they both end up waitressing at the restaurant. Through Kyle and Sophie's conversation, it is revealed that they used to date when Kyle was Sarah. Sophie encourages Tina to get drunk at the event, and when Tina humiliates her girlfriend Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), she confides in Sophie, who kisses Tina. She apologises but then Tina kisses her back.[9] They then have sex and afterwards, Sophie says Tina is not really her type and she has feelings for someone else, so Tina encourages her to find that person again but Sophie says she has changed too much. They then exchange phone numbers. Sophie talks to Kyle, saying she was in love with Sarah, but Kyle just wants to be friends and he says he does not want to "go backwards", so she asks if she is part of his past that he wants to forget, and she leaves, though Kyle wants her in his life.[10] Sophie then texts Tina but Tina ignores her, so Sophie goes to Tina's home and tells Sonia what has happened.[11] This results in Sonia forcing them both to leave, and outside, Sophie insults Tina. She then speaks to Kyle again, saying he should go back to Blackpool with her, and she has been talking to his mother, Alison Slater (Denise Welch) and she would take him back. Kyle says Alison will only accept him as Sarah. Sophie says she loves and misses Sarah as she cared about other people but calls Kyle selfish and says he made the wrong choice to become a man. She then leaves.[12]

Rush's performance was praised by her mother, Coronation Street actress Debbie Rush, on Twitter.[13][14][15] While Laura-Jayne Tyler of Inside Soap observed, "Kyle's mate Soph is a fast mover isn't she? Not many Walford newbies manage to bag themselves a job and a one-night stand in the space of a single episode. Respect!"[16]

Occupation Psychiatrist

Dr Delia Forde, played by Carolyn Pickles,[17] appears in four episodes between 22 January and 22 February 2016.

Dr Forde is a psychiatrist who assesses Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) when her boyfriend Martin Fowler (James Bye) convinces her to go to hospital. She and her colleague, Eve Igwe (Emmanuella Cole), inform Martin that there are no mother and baby unit places, and when Martin says that Stacey will not want to stay because of this, she explains that Stacey would likely be sectioned. After this is done, Dr Forde asks Stacey about her visions of God, and Stacey confirms that she started speaking to God only after the birth of her son Arthur Fowler, so Dr Forde concludes that Stacey is suffering from postpartum psychosis. Despite Stacey's pleas to see Arthur, Dr Forde sends Martin home to take care of him.[17] Dr Forde meets Martin again when he visits Stacey the next week.[18] On the day that Stacey is due for a medical review, she tells Dr Forde about a nightmare she had, but Dr Forde says this is probably just down to anxiety. At the review, Dr Forde gives Stacey the option of continuing her treatment at home and staying in hospital voluntarily. Stacey decides to stay.[19] Martin tries to break Stacey out of the hospital, so Dr Forde tries to stop this, and after he tells her that Stacey tried to harm herself, she insists he goes home. She then talks to Stacey about what happened, and convinces her that she is a good person despite the bad things that have happened in her life. Stacey is then transferred to another hospital.[20]

In the character's final episode, she states that "there isn't the money to look after these women properly", referring to budget cuts to mental health services in the UK. Viewers praised this on Twitter, claiming that EastEnders had helped raise awareness of this issue.[21][22]

Timothy "Tim" Reynolds, played by comedian Charlie Baker, first appears in the episode broadcast on 2 February 2016.[23] Tim is the brother of Joel Reynolds (Cavan Clerkin), who has been killed in a speedboat accident along with his wife Stephanie Reynolds (Claire Lubert). Tim meets Joel's former girlfriend Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) in The Queen Victoria, after Joel's daughter Hannah Reynolds (Mia Jenkins) returns flowers that Ronnie left on Joel and Stephanie's grave, accusing Ronnie of causing their deaths, following the affair she had with Joel several years earlier. Ronnie hands Tim a cheque for £5,000 to help look after Hannah and her sisters, Molly Reynolds and Annabelle Reynolds, but Hannah tears it up, calling it "blood money". Tim thanks Ronnie for the gesture before leaving.[23] He later returns, saying he has something for Ronnie from Joel and her daughter Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace), who also died several years previously.[24] He shows her some photos and a locket belonging to Danielle, upsetting Ronnie. He apologises, and when she says he needs to grieve his brother, he says she is the only person who understands and tries to kiss her, but she pulls away.[25] Tim returns to Ronnie's house when Hannah goes missing before she is due in court, but Ronnie has not seen her. Hannah is found and thanks to Ronnie attending court, the case is dropped. Tim asks Hannah to apologise to Ronnie but she insists she has not sent Ronnie the death threats she received.[26]

Baker said of his role: "It is an honour to join the hugely talented cast and production team of Britain's favourite soap" and added that he was "thrilled" to follow in the footsteps of other comedians who had appeared in EastEnders, including Mike Reid (Frank Butcher), Ricky Grover (Andrew Cotton), Josie Lawrence (Manda Best), Terry Alderton (Terry Spraggan) and Richard Blackwood (Vincent Hubbard).[27] Following his first appearance, Baker confirmed that Tim would make further appearances over the next few months.[28][29] Digital Spy said, "there is something a little unnerving about [Tim]", called him "Tim Nice-But-Dim", said his interest in Ronnie is "weird", adding that Ronnie should not trust him.[30]

Star "Linzi" Bragg, played by Amy-Leigh Hickman, first appears on 8 February 2016.[31]

Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) bumps into Linzi outside The Queen Victoria pub, and then follows her into the café. She tells him she is waiting to take someone home, and he buys her a milkshake.[31] They exchange numbers before Linzi leaves with her mother, Thelma Bragg (Lorraine Stanley).[32] A few days later, Jay and Linzi meet for a date, but Jay is unable to get them a table at a restaurant, so he decorates the garage where he works and they have a date there. They share a kiss but when she leaves abruptly, he assumes she does not want a second date.[33] He is frustrated when she does not reply to his text messages.[34] However, she later visits him at home where they are found kissing by Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) and his girlfriend Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald). Linzi suggests they all go on holiday to Ibiza in the summer.[35] Linzi and Jay go the the car lot to be alone and Jay leaves Linzi alone whilst he goes out to get condoms. A drunken Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) destroys the car lot with a digger and Jay fears Linzi is trapped, but is relieved to discover she was not inside when it happened.[36] Jay tells Linzi that Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) tried to kiss him so Linzi warns Louise to stay away from Jay.[37] Jay and Linzi plan a night in a hotel, and Linzi sends Jay a sexually explicit video and photos. When Jay collects Louise from school after she is in a fight, he is shocked that Louise was fighting with Linzi and she is a schoolgirl.[38] Louise and Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield) tell Jay that Linzi's real name is Star and she is 14. Jay later meets Linzi, and she begs him not to end their relationship, as he is the only person who has ever treated her well; even her mother was too drunk when she was born to give her a proper name and she was named by the punters at her pub. He tells her to forget everything that has happened and she says she understands but is upset.[39] However, when Louise catches them talking, she insults Linzi and Jay tells her to leave him alone. Linzi seeks comfort from Bex, who tells Thelma about the relationship, and Thelma goes to The Queen Victoria demanding to know who has had sex with her underage daughter, and Bex says it was Jay.[40] Linzi leaves in tears and later runs away from Thelma. Jay is arrested when Thelma calls the police.[41] Jay is interviewed and the photos and video that Linzi sent him are found on his phone, though he had deleted them when he discovered her age. He pleads guilty, knowing that he has no defence against the photos being there and because he does not want to put Linzi through the ordeal of giving evidence in court and the photos being shown. Due to mitigating factors, Jay is given a non-custodial sentence of 150 hours of unpaid work and must sign the Sex Offender Register for five years. Linzi's family brutally attack Jay and he is shunned by some of his family and the wider community because he pleaded guilty; he is branded a paedophile.[9]

Of her casting, Hickman said, "Never in a million years did I think something like this would happen to me, it has literally changed my life. The hardest thing was keeping the secret. When I found out that I had the part I just wanted to shout it out and tell everyone, but it was made even harder because I was in Swansea performing in Jermin Productions' pantomime and I couldn't even tell my cast mates. It was extremely hard trying to explain to my friends why I was back and fore to London every week. I had to tell them I was auditioning for a different project. But I knew they would understand when they found out the real reason. Everyone was really happy for me, it's such a huge opportunity. I am loving every second of it, it's such an eye opener and learning curve."[42] On 2 February 2016, it was revealed that Linzi would be a love interest for Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), with a show source saying, "As soon as they see each other, there's clearly a spark between them. They get on really well."[43] It was speculated that Linzi would be linked to a storyline that had been previously announced for Jay, that was billed as one of the biggest storylines of 2016.[44] The Metro said in April 2016 that "Jay and Linzi have cemented themselves as Walford's latest answer to Posh and Becks" but noticed that viewers had been speculating "that Linzi isn't as sweet and innocent as she seems."[45]

11 February 2016
Introduced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins
Classification Present; recurring

Jamie "JJ" Johnson, played by Zayden Kareem,[46][47][48] makes his first appearance on 11 February 2016. He is the son of Jordan Johnson (Joivan Wade) and Amelle Ellington (Sophia Brown). Jordan's stepmother, Denise Fox (Diane Parish), tracks Jordan down at the squat he is living in following a visit from the police, and Jordan says that Amelle is dead from a drug overdose. Denise brings Jordan and JJ to Albert Square.[46] Denise's surrogate father Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) struggles to bond with JJ, and Claudette Hubbard (Ellen Thomas) realises that Patrick is deliberately distancing himself from JJ because Patrick dislikes Jordan. Claudette convinces Patrick that JJ and Jordan are his family, so Patrick enjoys his time with JJ, and eventually, they are able to stay.[33] When Jordan is arrested by the police over Lucas Johnson's (Don Gilet) plan to escape from prison, Patrick questions JJ's future and Denise insists she will take care of him. Denise is horrified with and against Patrick's suggestion of giving JJ up to social services, but Patrick calls them without Denise's knowledge.[49] Denise is told by social worker Hilary Taylor (Sadie Shimmin) that JJ's mother, Amelle, is alive.[50] Amelle visits Denise and JJ, but he refuses to come out from under the table. Denise learns JJ is called Jamie and she talks to him, he says Jordan told him that Amelle left because she found him "hard work" and he is only hiding because he is scared of putting Amelle off him. Denise persuades him to see his mother, and when Hilary talks about increased contact, Denise decides JJ should live with Amelle.[51]

Speaking of Kareem on This Morning, Parish said, "He's absolutely fantastic. It's quite hard to keep that concealed. Zayden's four, he's great. He gets right into it—he sort of has a little muck around and he says 'right, we're going to do it now' and he gets into the zone.[52] Wade said of Jordan's relationship with JJ: "Jordan hasn't been able to be the kind of dad he wants to be, but at the same time he doesn't want to give JJ the same relationship Jordan has had with [his own father] Lucas. The heart is there and he's trying to do the very best he can with what he's got."[53]

It really is a dream come true."[54] A show source said, "Leon is only in a few episodes of EastEnders and it's quite a small part, but everyone is really excited to have him on set."[54]

Linford arrives in Walford, telling Claudette he is there for the first birthday party of his foster brother Vincent Hubbard's (Richard Blackwood) daughter Pearl Fox-Hubbard (Aureya), but then reveals that he and Vincent have entered Claudette into the Pride of Walford Awards for her fostering, and she is a finalist.[48] He later returns to concrete Vincent's basement, unaware that Vincent has buried Claudette under the ground, believing her to be dead.[49] When Linford tells Vincent that the ground was uneven and there was mud on the stairs when he laid the concrete, Vincent realises that Claudette escaped.[56] Linford and Andy later park a digger in the Square during their renovation work, and when a drunken Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) gets into it, they try to stop him but Phil destroys the car lot with it. Linford then helps rescue Phil's daughter Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) from the wreckage and, with the help of Andy and another man, drags Phil from the digger.[36] Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) later hires Linford as a builder to help him convert a house he has bought into flats and he and Linford look over the property for him.[57] The following week, Jack draws up a contract for Linford and Andy and invites them to a karaoke night at the Queen Victoria Pub.[58] While Linford and Andy talk in the café, Linford reveals that he is attracted to Jack's partner, Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack), and Andy teases him about it.[59]

Andy Flynn, played by Jack Derges,[56] has appeared since 17 March 2016.

Andy is a friend of Linford Short (Leon Lopez) who helps him with work on his foster brother Vincent Hubbard's (Richard Blackwood) basement. Vincent's wife Kim Fox-Hubbard (Tameka Empson) flirts with him.[56] Andy and Linford later park a digger in the Square during their renovation work, and when a drunken Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) gets into it, Andy tries to stop him but Phil destroys the car lot with it. Andy then helps rescue Phil's daughter Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) from the wreckage and, with the help of Linford and another man, drags Phil from the digger.[36] Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) later hires Andy as a builder to help him convert a house he has bought into flats and he and Linford look over the property for him. Andy also saves Hannah Reynolds (Mia Jenkins) from being hit by a car whilst she is holding Ronnie Mitchell's (Samantha Womack) son Matthew Mitchell-Cotton in her arms.[57] The following week, Jack draws up a contract for Andy and Linford and invites them to a karaoke night at the Queen Victoria Pub. However, Andy does not arrive and Jack tells Ronnie he is dogsitting.[58] When Martin Fowler (James Bye) asks Andy how much the flats will sell for, and Andy says he would not be able to afford them.[38] Jack tells Andy that Martin and his fiancé Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) are having money problems, so Andy helps Martin find work away from Walford.[60] The next day, Andy invites himself into Stacey's home; her half-brother Kyle Slater (Riley Carter Millington) wonders about his intentions, though Stacey seems not to mind.[40] Stacey soon realises that Andy is homeless when she sees him heading into the flats late at night.[10] When Andy wolf-whistles at Stacey, Kyle is upset and later confronts Andy, saying it is the kind of behaviour that leads to rape. Kyle threatens violence against Andy, shaking the ladder he is on, but Stacey stops him. Later, in the pub, Andy and Jack call Kyle a feminist, so Kyle assumes Stacey has told them that he is transgender and angrily leaves.[11] Andy realises that Kyle is transgender and tells Stacey he has no problem with it, and Stacey reveals she knows Andy is homeless, offering him the use of her shower.[12] Martin sees Andy wearing only a towel in the flat when he speaks to Stacey on video chat, and when he returns, he tells Andy to shower elsewhere, but Andy says he knows that Martin was fired from his job and is lying to Stacey.[61] Andy tells Stacey this, saying he assumed Martin would have told her. He babysits for Ronnie when her mother Glenda Mitchell (Glynis Barber) arrives. Andy listens in on Glenda's telephone conversation with her son Danny Mitchell (Liam Bergin), and later reveals this conversation to Ronnie. Martin later asks Andy if he can do more building work, but Andy says he is not qualified, but says that Jack has had 40 toilets delivered in error and they can sell them on and split the profits.[26] With the help of Kyle and Stacey, they are able to steal the toilets.[59]

The Metro called him "the 'fit' builder pal of Linford", saying that they initially thought he was "background filler" but since he had been given more lines and befriended Ronnie, they speculated that he could be Ronnie's stalker.[62]

Alison arrives at the flat where Kyle lives with his half-sister Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner). Kyle is out and the meeting is awkward because Stacey's father Brian was in a bigamous marriage with Alison until his death. Alison insists she thought Brian was single when she met him and found out only four months after he died. Stacey and Alison agree to be civil for Kyle's sake, but when Stacey says Kyle has missed his mother, she says she came to see her daughter, Sarah. Kyle arrives with flowers for Alison, and she says he looks nothing like Sarah. She struggles with the meeting, insisting that she has only daughters and Sarah was beautiful. Kyle says he did not feel beautiful; he felt wrong but now he does not. Alison says something is wrong with Kyle; he says he was born in the wrong body. Alison refuses to accept it; she had only just came to terms with Sarah being a lesbian when he announced he was transgender. Alison says it is not normal, and Stacey fails to convince her to get to know Kyle, telling her not to take Brian's actions out on Kyle. Alison says she is unable to build a relationship with Kyle, though wishes she could. She wishes him a happy life, but says he is not Sarah. She takes Kyle's flowers, says she is glad he is not on his own, and leaves. Outside, she cries.[61]

Welch's casting was announced on 24 March 2016. She said of her role: "I'm thrilled to be part of such an iconic show. I have friends in the cast and can't wait to start. It's a short stint but such a powerful role and I'm thrilled to be taking it on."[63] Speaking of Alison's reunion with her estranged son, Welch said, "I think he's hopeful Alison will return and open her arms to Kyle but it's just not as simple as that. I don't think Alison really knows what to expect. She knows what's happened and the choices Kyle has made, but when Alison last saw him, he was Sarah. I think she's very nervous about seeing him. This is a big deal for both of them."[64] Although only appearing in one episode, Welsh said she would "never say never" to appearing again, and as long as Kyle is in the series, there will be an opportuity for Alison to be. Welch dyed her hair for the role, which was her own choice instead of a wig, because "it's a little bit of a different thing".[65] Kevin O'Sullivan from The Sun said Welch gave a "brief but powerful performance as anguished Alison".[66]
