[edit] History
Kenny is the older brother of Pauline and Pete Beale. He was born in 1944 to Albert and Lou Beale. He was born and raised in Walford, where he lived with his family at number 45 Albert Square.
Kenny was banished from Walford in 1968, at the age of 24, when his mother caught him in bed with his brother's wife Pat. He went to live in New Zealand, set up a business selling swimming pools, and married a New Zealander named Barbara. He didn't speak to any of his family for five years after emigrating, and after that it was only Pauline who corresponded with him.
He returned to Walford in 1988 with his daughter Elizabeth, after his marriage had hit a rocky patch. He visited his ill mother and found out that he had been named as the father of Pat's younger son, Simon Wicks. After a month in Walford, he realised how good his life in New Zealand was, and returned to Barbara. He said goodbye to Simon, whose paternity had come into doubt again, and told him he hoped that he was his father. It was later revealed that Brian Wicks was Simon's father, but Simon wanted nothing to do with him.
Pauline later went to New Zealand to visit Kenny in June 1992, when he had a car crash.
