User:FishLoveHam/Stuart Highway (EastEnders)

Stuart Highway is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Ricky Champ.

Development
On 28 March 2018, the show announced that Ricky Champ had gained the role of Stuart, the older brother of established character Callum Highway (Tony Clay).

The character was also set to be childhood friends with Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).

The character was set to arrive after serving in the army overseas and returning from duty.

"Born and bred" in the East End of London, Mick would be delighted to see Stuart again.

He would "soon start to cause trouble".

Stuart had often been a "bad influence" on Mick in their past and the two would "get up to no good" together.

Speaking about the new role, Ricky commented: "I'm so happy to be part of this brilliant team of people on this great show that I grew up watching. Look out Albert Square… Stuart's coming!"

Ricky has already started filming at EastEnders and will first appear on screen later this spring.

Callum would also be announced to return from a brief departure as part of the story.
