Inside EastEnders Peter Beale star's real life - soap exit to co-star mum and sister

Thomas Law has been a part of the BBC One soap since 2006 and made a surprise return to EastEnders as Peter Beale after his on-screen mum Cindy Beale returned to Walford

Peter made his debut in 1993 as the offspring of Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), and the twin brother of his late sister Lucy. During his hiatus from the soap, Thomas continued to flex his acting muscles, appearing in several ITV dramas, including his role as DC Eddie Martin in The Bay from 2021 until this year. After an extended hiatus of 13 years away from the vibrant drama of Albert Square, Thomas managed to keep Walford close to his heart, thanks to a family connection revealed by The Daily Record.
