Yanis Pappas was a fictional character of Greek Cypriot descent in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders in February 2006.

Yanis appeared as the father of Nico, Carly Wicks's husband. Yanis did not approve of Carly, but was prepared to put up with her for the sake of his son. He owned many restaurants in Cyprus and London.

Yanis and Kevin Wicks, Carly's father, arranged a family liaison meeting at 31 Albert Square, but it ended up in almighty brawl, where Kevin and Yanis exchanged punches.

When Nico and Carly reconciled, Yanis offered them a restaurant in Cyprus, with his brother Andreas. Nico accepted his offer, but Carly decided to stay in London.

Yanis is definitely a family man, and showed this when he brought his sister, brother-in-law, uncle and wife Anna to the family meeting. He also has strong Greek morals and believes family comes first.
