List of EastEnders characters (1994)
Geoff Barnes is played by David Roper. Geoff is introduced as a love interest for the long running character, Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), in 1994. He is much older than Michelle, and their age difference causes most of the major problems in their relationship. They plan to marry, but in the end Geoff realises that Michelle doesn't really love him. He ends the relationship and moves to Scotland in April 1995, but returns in September as part of Michelle's exit storyline. His last appearance is in October 1995.
Paul Coker (EastEnders)
On 19 April 2016, it was announced that Labey would leave his role after a year, a decision that was made "a while ago", and Paul's last episode would air "in a couple of months" in an "explosive" storyline. Labey said there was "still so much to happen for Paul", urging his fans not to "lose hope". Lin Blakley, who plays Paul's grandmother, Pam Coker, said that Paul's departure would be "awful", adding, "I am sure there will be a few gasps from the audience who'll think, 'My gosh, I didn't see that coming!'" Paul is killed off in the episode broadcast on 18 July 2016, which was called a "huge shock twist" by a "Daily Telegraph" reporter, as viewers were led to believe that Ben had died. Paul's last appearance was broadcast on 8 September 2016, as a corpse.
