Born to Honey and Billy Mitchell, Janet doesn’t let the fact that she’s Downs have any effect on her life whatsoever! She’s recently turned 18 and lives with her parents.

Played by: Freddie Phillips

Born to Billy and Honey Mitchell, Will has grown up in Albert Square fiercely protective of his older sister Janet and watching his parents fall apart, get back together, fall apart, get back together etc. But that hasn’t stopped him from becoming a fine young man, if not a little nervous of the world around him.

Will’s teenage years have been marked by moments of joy and heartache. But now he’s growing up and noticing other things: in particular girls. That’s a treacherous road, but at least he has the full support of his family as he navigates his way down it…

Left behind by mother Sam Mitchell at every turn, Ricky has spent more time with his father Jack Branning than his travelling mum and has, perhaps wisely, decided to use the Branning surname.

Name: Pearl Fox
First Appeared: 19th February 2015
Played by: Arayah Harris-Buckle

It’s hard to say weather Pearl is attracted to the drama or is the centre of it, especially when you consider she entered this world in the Queen Vic bathroom!
