Louise Mitchell (née Fowler) was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She was played by Rachel Cox.
She was the daughter of Phil Mitchell and Lisa Fowler, though Mark Fowler is listed as her father on her birth certificate. Mark and Lisa got married and Mark knew that Louise wasn't his daughter, but he registered himself as her legal father to hide the fact that Phil was her biological father. Louise is named after Mark's grandmother, Lou Beale. When Sharon Watts informed Phil that Louise was his daughter, and Lisa and Mark split, Lisa and Louise went to live with Phil and his mother Peggy, who was very controlling over Lisa and even hired a nanny, Joanne Ryan, without consulting Lisa.
After a few months, Lisa grew tired of Phil and Peggy, so left Walford with Louise to live in Portugal with her best friend Melanie Owen. They left on the day of a party that Peggy held, celebrating the fact that Louise's name had been changed from Fowler to Mitchell.
Phil went after Lisa and returned to Albert Square with baby Louise. It was suspected that he had murdered Lisa, and the police sent a honeytrap officer, Kate Tyler, to get a confession from him. It turned out that Phil had mentally intimidated Lisa into giving Louise back to Phil.
Phil went on to marry Kate, and Lisa retuned on their wedding day, with a plan to get Louise back. Lisa tried to shoot Phil a second time, but failed. After Lisa turned to alcohol, Den Watts took her under his wing, and framed Phil for an armed robbery. When Phil was arrested, Kate returned Louise to her mother, and they left Walford for a second time. They have not been seen or heard from since.
Phil has recently been suggesting to Louise's elder brother Ben that they should track down Louise, but Ben has expressed dislike to the idea of finding his sister.
