Matthew Mitchell-Cotton is the son of characters Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett) and Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack). He was born during the episode broadcast on the 1 January 2015 on his parents' wedding day.

Matthew is born in Walford General, after Ronnie is involved in a car accident. She is later placed in a coma. Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) looks after her nephew with the help of her partner Aleks Shirovs (Kristian Kiehling). Charlie refuses to see to care for his son due to Ronnie not being around. Aleks suggests naming him Matthew after Charlie's grandmother Dot Branning (June Brown) quotes from the Gospel of Matthew.

Reporters for the Daily Mirror called Matthew an "unfortunate boy".[2] While discussing how Matthew got his name, Jim Shelley for the Daily Mail observed "Matthew might be less happy about it when he hears that he had been named by the market manager rather than his dad."[3]

Introduced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins
Classification Present; regular
Richard Blackwood plays Kim Fox's husband, Vincent Hubbard

Vincent Hubbard,[5] played by Richard Blackwood,[6] made his first screen appearance on 17 February 2015.[7] The character and casting was announced on 17 January 2015.[8] Of his casting, Blackwood commented: "I want to thank Dominic [Treadwell-Collins] and Julia [Crampsie] for giving me this amazing opportunity. EastEnders is a show I've grown up watching, so to film on Albert Square is something I'll never get used to!"[8] Blackwood's character was billed as a new villain for the show. His name wasn't revealed until his first appearance during a live insert on the show's 30th anniversary week.[8] Blackwood later credited EastEnders for helping him to turn his life around. He also said his character had a lot of layers and would be "connected to a lot more people than you think".[9] On 14 April 2015, it was revealed that EastEnders would be revisiting Vincent's backstory.[10]

Vincent had an off-screen relationship with Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) in late 2013, which she ended to flee to Ibiza with sister Roxy (Rita Simons) after Carl White's death. At a similar time he also meets Kim Fox (Tameka Empson), and goes with her when she leaves Walford to work on a cruise ship. The two later marry, and Kim falls pregnant. She returns to Walford alone in December 2014, believing Vincent to be a murderer. In a flashback episode broadcast on 19 February 2015 and set on Good Friday 2014, Vincent gives Ronnie a gun hidden in a bouquet of white roses at her own request.[11] He returns in February 2015 having followed Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) home, confronting him and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) about the whereabouts of Ronnie. Billy reveals to him that she is in a coma, and upon visiting the hospital he leaves a single white rose for Ronnie so she knows he has visited. Kim's sister Denise Fox (Diane Parish) mocks Kim's relationship with Vincent and she goes into premature labour. Vincent watches from afar as she is taken to hospital, and Kim later explains that she ran away from Vincent after finding out that he was a criminal, and chose not to tell him that she was pregnant. She grows wary when he tries to get in contact with her again after witnessing her with their daughter, Pearl Fox. Kim tells Denise that Vincent never existed and Pearl was the result of a one night stand, but later admits the truth. When Ronnie begins to talk again, Vincent visits her and suggests he wishes to resume their relationship.

Pearl Fox

Pearl Fox
EastEnders character

Duration 2015–
First appearance 19 February 2015
Introduced by Dominic Treadwell-Collins
Classification Present; recurring

Pearl Denise Patrice Fox[12] is the daughter of Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) and Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood). She was born during the live episode broadcast on the 19 February 2015 during the show's 30th anniversary celebrations.[13]

Pearl is born in the ladies' toilets of The Queen Victoria public house, after Kim goes into labour two months early. She is placed in intensive care following her birth and Kim is told that she has an infection. The following week, Kim has Pearl christened with the middle names Denise and Patrice, named after her aunt Denise Fox (Diane Parish), and Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) respectively, and is told that she has recovered from her infection. Several weeks later, Kim is able to bring Pearl home to Albert Square.

Gary Gillatt from Inside Soap observed that Pearl's name was his favourite "subtle touch" for the show's birthday celebrations, as Pearl is the gift traditionally given on a 30th anniversary.[14] While Heat's Kay Ribeiro was disappointed that Kim did not name her after Queen Victoria, considering where she was born.[15] Ribeiro also thought that Kim would have chosen "something suitably flashy and fabulous but chose the surprisingly demure name, Pearl. Oh well, each to their own."[15] Katy Brent from the Daily Mirror commented "You'd think that being born in Albert Square, in the Vic, on the 30th anniversary of the show, would be a good omen for any baby. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case for baby Pearl, whose little life is hanging in the balance."[16] Brent hoped Pearl would come through her illness, so there would be a happy outcome for a change.[16]

Albert Square now has a new steely matriarch – with a few twisted secrets hidden behind her beaming smile."[18] David Brown from the Radio Times added that Claudette had links to established regular characters and would be "a tough-talking resident of Albert Square".[18] Thomas revealed that Claudette's family would be introduced to the square, saying: "Claudette is a foster mother, she's fostered children for the last 30 years. She's fostered the kind of children nobody else wants - tough cookies." She stated that it was a "brilliant opportunity to bring new characters in".[19]

Les Coker (Roger Sloman) visits Claudette at the Victoria Road café and gives her a necklace. Later that night, while he and his wife, Pam (Lin Blakley), are celebrating their wedding anniversary, Les gets a text from Claudette, thanking him for her necklace. Claudette and Les meet again a week later at the park, arriving for her foster daughter Donna Yates's (Lisa Hammond) birthday celebrations. It's revealed that she knows Les and Pam from when the latter worked as a social worker and placed Donna in Claudette's care. Weeks later, it's revealed that both Claudette and Les are in Gran Canaria on business. Donna ironically suggests that the two should meet up.

Max Branning (Jake Wood) is impressed by Karin when she approaches him asking for the whereabouts of Phil, and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) warns him that Karin's deceased husband was involved in a dodgy business. Max dismisses Jay and goes on to form a deal with Karin at the car lot, and the two later end up having sex, though it is implied that Phil had meant this to happen. The following morning, Karin visits Phil and he pays her a large sum of money; she leaves. Jay later reveals to Max that the cars Karin has supplied him with are stolen, so Max orders Karin to return and collect them. However, he changes his mind after a conversation between him and his sister, Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson). Karin returns to tell Max that the police have begun seizing the cars and that some have drugs in them. She tells Max to dump the cars and then takes his clothes to stop the police tracing his involvement. Phil agrees to help Max on the condition he sign over all of his businesses to Phil. After Max does so, Phil and Karin tell Max they made the whole story up to con him out of his businesses. Karin collects her final payment, revealing herself to be an old friend of Sam Mitchell's (Danniella Westbrook). She assures Max it was not personal and tells him "Karin Smart" is not her real name before leaving.
