We are often asked about the crossover between actors who have been in both Eastenders and The Bill. So together with fellow fans on social media we have compiled a list of The Bill regular cast members who have also had roles on Eastenders. We strongly suspect there will be a few more crossovers than the ones listed, but we think there are plenty of crossovers to be going on with.

*There may be a significant gap mid-way through this period when the actor/character was not in the programme.
Please take note that actors may have played more than one role in the programmes, we have just taken note of their biggest/most popular role.
Many thank you to fellow fans who helped us compile this list, we couldn’t have done it without you!
