BBC to host special EastEnders night dedicated to mark stars 20th anniversary
BBC Three will air episodes tracing Denise Fox’s biggest storylines, followed by Diane Parish’s documentary Manosphere.
BBC Three is hosting a special night on Monday, May 11, to celebrate Denise Fox's 20th anniversary, with Diane Parish, who plays the beloved EastEnders character, marking two decades on the soap.
Parish first appeared in Walford for six months in 1998 as the singer Lola Christie, then returned in 2006 as the feisty salon owner, Denise, establishing the character's longevity.
The schedule features the 2010 downfall of Lucas Johnson, the 2013 kiss with Ian Beale, and the 2023 death of Keanu Taylor on Christmas Day, spanning Denise's major storylines.
Viewers will also see Denise choose between Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati in 2025 episodes, followed by the documentary 'EastEnders Investigates: The Manosphere,' which Parish fronts.
Beyond acting, Parish hosts the podcast 'Meditating in High Heels' to help listeners be "fabulously spiritual," while former co-star Carli Norris operates the boutique Chocodolly.
