Max has since been kicked out upon the revelation of his affair with Stacey, and, shortly after, Tanya's sister, Rainie Cross returned.

[edit] 18-20 Albert Square
20 Albert Square (formerly The Abercorn Bed and Breakfast) started as a B&B consisting of two doubles, three singles, dining room and lounge.

Ian Beale then bought the property, along with number 29, and knocked through, making it into one large house. However, it was repossessed when he went bankrupt and is now owned by the council, again shut off from number 29. The Miller family moved in in September 2004, and the house was occupied by Keith, Rosie, Mickey, Darren and Demi Miller. Demi's baby, Aleesha when she was born in October 2004, also lived here. A year later, Rosie's eldest daughter Dawn Swann also moved in when she returned to England from France. Rosie's ex-husband Mike Swann stayed with the Millers for a while, sleeping on their sofa. Keith temporarily moved out twice, once after Rosie almost had an affair with Mike, and again when Rosie kicked him out for deleting Mike's answering machine message to Dawn.

Sam was conned out of the Mitchell Empire by Phil's lawyer, Marcus Christie, and when Andy found this out, he threw her out.
Andy left the house to Pat Evans in his will, so when he was murdered, the house went to her. Billy Mitchell and his girlfriend Honey Edwards lived with Pat, but later moved out.
Pat thought that she could have some peace and quiet until Kevin Wicks, his children Carly and Deano, soon-to-be wife Denise, and her children Chelsea and Libby all moved in. Aubrey Valentine stayed there during his brief time in Walford, and Yolande Trueman also stayed there when her husband Patrick threw her out for having an affair with Aubrey. When everyone else went on holiday, Pat was glad to have the house to herself again, but Bert Atkinson asked to move in temporarily with his dying ex-wife, Evie. After Evie died in the living room, Bert moved out.
In October 2007, Deano and Chelsea were imprisoned for six months for attempting to pervert the course of justice and Kevin died on New Year's Eve, leaving Pat, Carly, Denise, Libby and the recently returned Chelsea as the occupants. Pat's grandson Steven Beale also stayed there until Ian asked him to move in with the Beales at number 45. Carly and Denise have left on a trip, and Chelsea and Libby have moved in with the Truemans, leaving Pat living there alone, so she invited Billy and Honey Mitchell to move back in with their children Janet and William, only to have Honey refuse, but after some intervention from The Mitchells, they accepted. In March 2008, Billy and Honey accepted an offer on a new flat close to the square and moved out.

The house was bought by Johnny Allen who leased it to Alfie Moon. Alfie lived here with his brother Spencer, and grandmother Victoria. Victoria died in December 2005 and Alfie went to America with Kat. Alfie's cousins Jake and Danny Moon also lived here, until Danny was chased from the Square by Johnny Allen.

[edit] 45 Albert Square
45 Albert Square ("Rosedene") has been home to the Beale family since the Second World War when it had an outside toilet. The property was owned by the council until 2004 when Pauline purchased it from them. Lou Beale lived here until she died in 1988. Her children Pauline and Pete were born in the house, and Pauline later lived here with her husband Arthur and their children Mark, Michelle and Martin. Mark and Michelle later moved out, and Arthur died. Pauline's friend Derek Harkinson moved in with her but moved out after an argument. Martin's wife Sonia also moved in, and Pauline handed over half the house to Martin and Sonia. Sonia left Martin for Naomi Julien and moved out again. Pauline's new husband Joe Macer and his friend Bert Atkinson since moved in, but in April 2006 Pauline kicked them both out after her discovery of their criminal past and dumped them on Dot and Jim Branning. Pauline eventually relented and let Joe return home in June 2006.
Pauline lived in the house alone again after learning that Martin and Sonia were back together. She accidentally stared a fire in the kitchen, but she continued to live there alone. Pauline was due to go to America on Christmas Day 2006, and packed all her things, but died in the Square after arguing with Sonia in the living room, which ended in Pauline getting slapped and both her, and her treasured fruit bowl smashed off of the ground and also with Joe (off-screen). Martin then set about clearing all her belongings out of the house.
On 26 January 2007, Joe confessed to Dot that he had caused Pauline's death by hitting her with a frying pan. Dot tried to tell her husband Jim but Joe covered her mouth. Jim freed Dot and in the struggle, Joe fell through the bedroom window and onto the Fowler family run market stall, and died instantly.
In Pauline's will, she left her half of the house to Martin. The mortgage was now paid through an insurance policy of Pauline's. Pauline's will, however, stated that Martin would lose his right to her half of the house if he lived there with Sonia. Sonia, Martin and Rebecca left Walford.The will stated that if Martin was denied his right to the house, it was to go to his cousin, Ian Ian Beale, who moved in an currently lives there with his family. The house was then currently empty, although Pauline's ashes remained on the mantelpiece until Dot Cotton buried them by Arthur Fowler, who was Pauline's first husband. While it was empty, Peter Beale and Jay Brown broke in, as did Max Branning and Stacey Slater. Honey Mitchell expressed interest in renting it from Ian but Ian refused to rent to the Mitchells.
Ian decided to move in there himself with his family, but Peter and Lucy refused because they believed the ghost of Pauline would haunt them. Eventually Ian gave the ashes to Dot and Peter and Lucy agreed that as Pauline's ashes were no longer in the house, she would not haunt them.
The people currently living here are Ian, Jane,Peter, Lucy and Bobby Beale. Jane's brother, Christian turned up in January 2008 and lived with them for a month, sleeping on the sofa until Ian leased the flat above Beale's plaice to him.
Ian has since realised the living room and the dining room were too small so he knocked the wall out between the two rooms to make more room. When the house was owned by Pauline, the living room was used as a bedroom, for when Pauline's son and family lived there. When Ethel Skinner was gravely ill, Pauline let her live there. Ethel asked Dot Cotton to euthanise her on her 80th birthday, and after a while, reluctantly agreed. The dining room was used both as a living room and a dining room, where Pauline's treasured fruit bowl sat on the table for years. The kitchen has now been re-fitted and the old fireplace in the kitchen has been raised up a bit since Pauline lived there. There are now three bedrooms — the master, Lucy's, which she now shares with Bobby, and the attic conversion that Joe and Bert made, shared by Steven and Peter until Steven's departure..

During Huw and Lenny's tenancy, Alan Jackson stayed in the house, as did the singer Frankie Pierre. Mark and Ruth returned to the premises in 1997. Their foster daughter Jessie Moore lived with them for a brief period and after Mark and Ruth's marriage broke down Mark moved out and Louise Raymond lodged here with Ruth and so did Mark's cousin Conor Flaherty.

Garry Hobbs and his fiancée Lynne lived with Mark for a while and Lisa Shaw moved in after falling out with her boyfriend Phil Mitchell.
