Karl Howman is set to join EastEnders later this year. We're keeping tight-lipped about who Karl is playing and what is in store for his character, but they have teased that from the moment he arrives on screen, he is set to cause a stir for a few residents of Walford.

All we can reveal is that there is a lot in store for Karl's character; he’s playing a loveable
rogue but there seems to be a lot more than meets the eye.
Speaking about joining EastEnders, Karl told us: “It is an honour to have joined such
an iconic show as EastEnders and I have received such a lovely welcome from all
involved. They are truly one big family with a work ethic to be in awe of. The
twists and turns, character and plots that are coming make it all the more
exciting for me.”
Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Executive Producer added: “We have been trying to get
the brilliant Karl Howman to join EastEnders for a very long time - and it’s
fantastic that it’s finally happened. An authentic Londoner with grit, sparkle
and a touch of danger, Karl is the perfect fit for this new character, whose
appearance on the Square will open old wounds and reignite old passions…”
