On BBC One's "Eastenders," characters come and go, but 2021 has been a great year for outstanding performances by returning favorites, newcomers, cast regulars, younger actors, and lastly, performers who have been with the long-running primetime soap, on and off, since its inception.
Who stood out?
Who reduced the at-home viewers to tears?
Who chewed up the scenery as the show's resident villain?
What newcomer made everyone sit up and take notice?
Who made the biggest impression in one of show's major storylines?
Lots of actors....Lots of characters.
The list is endless.
