EastEnders: Where Are They Now?

Here's what happened to these EastEnders actors after leaving the soap

EastEnders: Where Are They Now?

There's no doubting that Ryan Malloy, Louise Mitchell and Ronnie Mitchell all took part in some of the biggest storyline EastEnders had over the years, but what are the actors who played them up to now?

Neil McDermott played Ryan Malloy

Neil McDermott is best known for playing Whitney Dean's brother Ryan Malloy. He had a two year stint on the soap but Ryan's time was action packed.


Since leaving his full-time role in the soap, Neil has popped back to the square a number of times to appear in a handful of episodes, and each time viewers asked for the character to return for good.

Neil has gone on to continue working in the arts, including a number of voice parts from video game Squadron 42 to playing Chief Weasel in The Wind in the Willow: The New Musical.


Tilly Keeper played Louise Mitchell

Tilly Keeper's Louise Mitchell is a firm favourite for fans of EastEnders, and they were devastated when the actor announced she was moving on from the soap.

Tilly has gone on to do a number of short films, and her BBC movie Make Me Famous is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Samantha Womack played Ronnie Mitchell

Samantha Womack has had an incredible career following EastEnders, although it was pretty huge beforehand.

After a decade of playing Ronnie Mitchell, Sam has gone on to star in Hollywood movies Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle.


Her career has also boomed in the West End, from the Adam's Family musical, to the epic stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, something I was personally privileged to see.

Although there are currently no signs of Sam appearing in television or film anytime soon, we're sure you will be able to catch the actor on stage when the West End re-opens.

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
