EastEnders: E20 is a British Internet teen soap opera, available on BBC Online, the official website of the BBC. The series is a spin-off from the long-running soap opera EastEnders and was created by Diederick Santer. The series is set in Walford, a fictional borough of London, and follows the stories of teenagers who arrive in an attempt to escape from various problems.

For series 1, open auditions were held at Theatre Royal Stratford East, followed by recalls until the possible actors were reduced to eight and then four.[1] The first series follows the characters of Zsa Zsa Carter (Emer Kenny), Fatboy (Ricky Norwood), Mercy Olubunmi (Bunmi Mojekwu) and Leon Small (Sam Attwater), who meet in the first episode and decide to squat together in a flat at 89b George Street. Leon, Fatboy and Zsa Zsa also appeared briefly in EastEnders in January 2010 before EastEnders: E20 started,[2] and returned as regular characters when EastEnders: E20 ended.[3] It was since announced that due to positive reaction to the character, Mercy would also join EastEnders later in 2010.[4]

The second series follows four new characters, Asher Levi (Heshima Thompson) and his brother Sol (Tosin Cole), Naz Mehmet (Emaa Hussen), and Stevie Dickinson (Amanda Fairbank-Hynes), who move into the flat above the beauty salon at 10 Turpin Road.[5][6] The third series follows Mercy's sister Faith Olubunmi (Modupe Adeyeye), Donnie Lester (Samuell Benta) and Ava Bourne (Sophie Colquhoun).[7] Faith also appears in EastEnders for a short period before the start of the series. The three begin squatting in 3 Albert Square.[8] Additionally, many EastEnders characters make cameo appearances in all three series.[9]
