In 1997, Diane Parish was cast in the role of Lola Christie, a love interest for Mick McFarlane (Sylvester Williams); the character debuted on 22 January.[1] Six months later, Parish opted to leave the serial after receiving another job.[2] January 1998 saw the introduction of a new Italian family, the di Marcos, who were billed to "rival" the Mitchell family.[3] The family of eight consists of grandparents Bruno di Marco (Leon Lissek) and Luisa di Marco (Stella Tanner), their daughter-in-law Rosa di Marco (Louise Jameson), her children Beppe di Marco (Michael Greco), Gianni di Marco (Marc Bannerman), Teresa di Marco (Leila Birch) and Nicky di Marco (Carly Hillman), and Beppe's young son Joe di Marco (Jake Kyprianou).[4] Louise Raymond, the estranged wife of Terry Raymond (Gavin Richards) and mother of Tiffany Mitchell (Martine McCutcheon) and Simon Raymond (Andrew Lynford), was introduced in May 1998. Carol Harrison was cast in the role.[5] Following the axing of several ethnic minority characters, producers decided to create new characters to replace them. The Jamacian relatives of Mick and a new "heart-throb" Asian doctor were announced.[6] Josie McFarlane (Joan Hooley), the mother of Mick, and Kim McFarlane (Krystle Williams), the foster daughter of Josie, were introduced in August 1998.[citation needed] Three new characters were announced in July 1998: Melanie Healy (Tamzin Outhwaite), Fred Fonseca (Jimi Mistry) and Jamie Mitchell (Jack Ryder). Robinson promised that the characters have "subtle qualities to spice up Walford" and would feature in "strong" plots.[7] Melanie is the relative of an existing character and is described as "a real man-eater".[7] Fred is the Square's new resident general practitioner (GP) and billed as "a womanising bachelor with a silky bedside manner".[7] Jamie is the "tearaway" cousin of Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) who becomes "a real handful" for the Mitchell family.[7] Barbara Keogh was cast as pensioner Lilly Mattock in 1998, making her first appearance on 5 November. The character creates a "comedy double act" with her flatmate Dot Cotton (June Brown).[8] Lucy Benjamin was cast as Lisa Shaw, a "home-wrecking blonde".[9] In September 1998, it was announced that Martin Kemp would join the cast as "smooth operator" Steve Owen in late December.[10] Kemp dubbed the character "a sensitive guy and very intelligent", and a show spokesperson commented, "Steve's going to give Grant Mitchell a run for his money, but with his head, not his fists."[10] Robinson revealed that Kemp was selected from 20 actors and chosen because he is "a very subtle actor".[10] Saskia Duncan (Deborah Sheridan-Taylor), Steve's obsessive former girlfriend, was also introduced in December.[citation needed]

After a stint on the soap in 1997, Janet Dibley reprised her role as Lorna Cartwright in February 1998.[11] Dibley was offered a year-long contract extension in March, but declined it as she disagreed with the planned storylines for Lorna. Despite further offers from producers, including a pay rise, she quit the soap and Lorna departed in April.[11] Original character Nick Cotton (John Altman) made another return in March for a one-month guest stint.[12] After taking maternity leave in 1997, Shobu Kapoor reprised her role as Gita Kapoor in July 1998.[citation needed]

Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) became the first character to depart in 1998 at the conclusion of Reid's guest stint. Reid later opted to reprise the role permanently and the character returned in May 1998.[citation needed] Michelle Collins and Gillian Taylforth, who portray Cindy Beale and Kathy Beale respectively, chose to leave the series in 1998; their departures aired in April 1998.[13] Paul Bradley decided to leave the serial at fear of being typecast as a nerd after portraying Nigel Bates since 1992.[14] Victoria Gould, who portrays Polly Becker, quit her role in 1998; the character departed in September 1998.[15] Several cast members were written out of the serial in 1998 following Robinson's appointment, including Elizabeth Kelly (Nellie Ellis), Clare Grogan (Ros Thorne), Matthew Silver (Ben Mitchell), Karen Henthorn (Julie Haye), Jon Lee (Josh Saunders), Gemma Bissix (Clare Bates), Jamila Massey (Neelam Kapoor), Deepak Verma (Sanjay Kapoor), Kapoor (Gita Kapoor), Lissek and Tanner (Bruno and Lisa di Marco), and Paul Moriarty (George Palmer).[15][16]

Pat finds a letter from Roy saying it is over and she will not see him again; Peggy says Frank will find Roy. Two police officers turn up and PC Newland tells Pat that Roy's car has been found abandoned, having been involved in an incident, and there was blood on the driver's seat; Peggy tells Pat that Roy will be fine. Peggy then accuses Pat of being jealous after they start talking about Peggy and Frank's upcoming wedding; Pat says Peggy's relationship with Frank will never be as good as hers way and he is only with Peggy because she does not want him. Pat says something could have happened between them the night before if she had encouraged it. They insult each other, throw wine glasses and then slap each otheraround the face.
