[edit] Death

(to whoever keeps adding a death section)

The *character* Frank Butcher has not been confirmed dead in the show yet. Mike Reid is dead, RIP, but potentially another actor could return as Frank (although this is unlikely!). It's happened in many soaps before!

Once someone says he's dead, his *fictional* death can be reported.

There's no reason for Frank Butcher to be dead, even if the character never returns. He doesn't need to be mentioned again either. He's not real, the EastEnders universe isn't real. Characters pretty much cease to exist once they leave. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 21:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

True, Frank Butcher the character isn't dead (if never mentioned again). characters have been referenced before many years after they left, however. It's likely they'll mention him & kill off the character in Eastenders though, because of Frank's popularity and out of respect for Mike Reid. -Jw2034 23:07, 29 July 2007 (BST)

[edit] Oasis advert date

This section had said that the advert aired in 1990, but I changed it to 1990s for now. The BBC are quite strict about their characters/actors endorsing other products, and Frank was still in EE in 1990, so It's not likely that they would allow Reid to do an advert at that time. I might be wrong, so if someone can provide a source, feel free to change it back.Gungadin 14:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
