Peter Dean – Pete Beale, EastEnders
Five years before he landed Pete Beale’s role in Eastenders, Peter Dean was first known as Jeff Bateman in Coronation Street. However, he stayed longer in the BBC show, from 1985 to 1995. Despite his ten-year tenure, his departure wasn’t without controversy.
In 2018, Dean slammed the writers of EastEnders and urged the network to ax those writers, explaining that he was fired after he feuded with Leslie Grantham. In 2020, the 81-year-old painter expressed his intentions to return despite his character’s death and believed that actors don’t really retire.
