Surnames edit

@Kelvin 101: or anyone who has watched this: Can the surnames of all characters in this episode be confirmed please? For example, Lou's mother was changed from "Mrs Medeemey" to "Lou's mother", as that's probably how she was credited, and I'm wondering if surnames were used at all. Also, there has been a question over what Lou's maiden name actually was, with someone saying it was never used in "CivvyStreet". See also Talk:Lou Beale#Maiden Name: Medeemey. Thanks. — ᴀnemoneᴘroᴊecтors 22:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@AnemoneProjectors: That is how they appear on BBC Genome.

A while a go I wrote out all the credits for CivvyStreet as they appear on screen.

But I will double check later how they appeared on screen.

Cool, if you can check that would be good, I couldn't find it online to watch myself. But for now I think Genome is the best source. — ᴀnemoneᴘroᴊecтors 13:18, 22 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

@AnemoneProjectors: Hi I have just checked this and Genome appears to be correct. The character names are below as they appear on the credits with no one apart from Reg Cox having a surname.

  • Albert
  • Lou
  • Lou's Mum
  • Flo
  • Harry
  • Ronnie
  • Ethel
  • William
  • Richard
  • Marty
  • Reg Cox
  • Ray
  • Lil

Cool, I removed the surnames but I'm wondering if we should include them but state that the credits didn't use them apart from for Reg. After all, EastEnders itself didn't use surnames at the time, and not until well into the 2000s. — ᴀnemoneᴘroᴊecтors 21:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
