Ted Hills was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Brian Croucher.
[edit] History
Ted was the brother of Kathy Beale, and appeared in Albert Square with his two children, Sarah and Tony. Ted had fled Walford thirty years previously after his life was threatened by Den Watts, after Ted had landed his then brother-in-law Pete Beale in some trouble after asking him to store some stolen goods in a lockup. After hearing of Den (believed dead at the time by most Albert Square residents) and Pete's deaths, Ted returned but it didn't sit very well with Pete's sister, Pauline Fowler who still blamed him for almost ruining her brother's life.
Shortly after arriving, Ted purchased a shop on Bridge Street and named it 'Hills' Hardware', but later had to sell it in order to pay off mounting debts. He is the ex-husband of Irene Raymond.
Ted had a bad temper which usually got him into trouble. When his daughter Sarah fled the Square, he put Robbie Jackson in hospital, suspecting that he had raped Sarah. In fact, Sarah had come onto Robbie and fled Walford in shame.
When Ted found out that his son Tony was gay, he nearly disowned him, losing many friends in the Square. He was offered a job in Dubai and accepted, leaving Walford. He has since moved to South Africa, and lives near to where Kathy lived before her death.
