The Beales, together with the Fowlers, are a fictional family in the BBC soap opera ''EastEnders''. They were the main family for storylines in early ''EastEnders'' and remained as such for many years. Having appeared continuously from episode one, they are the show's longest serving family. In 2007, there were few members of the Beale family left and no Fowlers, so the family were revamped. Peter Beale and Lucy Beale were recast to give them a more mature look, Ian Beale started a relationship with Jane Beale and Steven Beale also returned. By 2010, the number of Beales had fallen again. Lucy was recast and in 2013, Peter and Bobby were recast and Cindy Williams Jnr, the half-sister of Peter and Lucy, was reintroduced. In addition to this at the start of 2014 Rebecca Fowler returned to the serial with her mother Sonia Fowler, with Martin Fowler following 11 months later in December. In 2014 Lucy is found dead, causing her family and friends to struggle to come to terms with her death and the secrets she left behind, putting many people in the frame for her murder. It was revealed on 19 February 2015 that she was killed by her own little brother, Bobby. It was also revealed that Kathy Beale, who was presumed dead in 2006, was alive after having faked her death with her new husband in South Africa. Members of the Beale family currently in ''EastEnders'' include Kathy Beale, Ian Beale, Jane Beale, Bobby Beale, Martin Fowler, Sonia Fowler, Rebecca Fowler and Whitney Dean. ==Storylines== : For many years before the show began, the Beale family consisted of head of the family Albert, his wife Lou Beale, and their six children, Harry, Ronnie, Dora, Kenny, and twins Pauline and Pete. Before the show began, Albert had died and Kenny had been banished by Lou to New Zealand for sleeping with Pete's wife, Pat and fathering her son Simon. Albert and Lou also had a daughter named Maggie before marriage and put her up for adoption. As well as Maggie, Kenny, Pete, and Pauline there were also three other children who are rarely spoken about; Harry, Dora and Ronnie, who all moved away from Albert Square, lost touch with their mother, and were never again heard of or seen. Harry moved to York where he became a hotel manager, he was an alcoholic who had a strained relationship with his mother which is why they lost touch. Dora married and moved away from Albert Square with her husband, it was on her wedding day that Arthur had proposed to Pauline. Ronnie was married to a woman named Gail and moved away from Albert Square because of a heart condition and later died. It is not known if Harry, Dora, or Ronnie had any children. When the show first began the family consisted of head of the family Lou Beale and her son Pete and daughter Pauline. They were joined by Pete's wife Kathy and son Ian as well as Pauline's husband Arthur Fowler, and their son Mark and daughter Michelle. Pauline had a baby boy, Martin, in July 1985. A few months later her 16-year-old daughter Michelle also fell pregnant, but nobody knew who was the father. She arranged to meet the man by the canal, and it turned out to be Den Watts, the father of Michelle's best friend Sharon. Also, Pete's long-lost son Simon Wicks arrived in Walford, followed by his mother Pat Wicks, who revealed that Simon was not Pete's son. Michelle's daughter Vicki was born the following year, and Michelle jilted her fiancé, Lofty, at the altar. Arthur had dipped into the Christmas Club money to pay for the wedding reception and was sent to prison for 28 days, resulting in a mental breakdown, when he spent many days at a time hidden away in his shed at the allotments. Michelle later married Lofty in a quiet register office ceremony. She got pregnant by him but had an abortion and he left her. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beale family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
