Everyone loves a good soap couple, from forbidden lovers to childhood sweethearts and everything in between.
Since most of the British soaps have been around a while, we’ve had our fair share of matchups that became fan favourites.
This time, we’re going back to the early 2000s and to Eastenders. Andy Hunter arrived in Walford and soon headed up the deadly gang known only as The Firm after Jack Dalton was murdered by Dennis Rickman, the son of Dirty Den Watts.

Since waving goodbye to Walford, actor Michael Higgs has starred in a long list of other TV shows including Silent Witness, New Tricks, Casualty, The Bill, and Midsomer Murders.
Most recently he starred in the series Agatha Raisin playing the part of George Selby which was originally broadcast on Sky1. In celebration of his casting, talent agency MacFarlane Chard shared a photo of Michael to Twitter back in May, along with the caption: “Tonight at 8pm Michael Higgs stars in Agatha Raisin on Sky Max.”
