Hunter Owen

Hunter Owen made his first appearance on the 6th February 2018 and he is the son of Steve Owen and Mel Owen. Hunter grew up with Louise Mitchell so he became very protective over her and at the age of 15, Hunter and Louise kissed and they later lost their verginity. Louise's dad Phil Mitchell watched the event of them having sex on CCTV cameras, and Hunter taunted him before hand on the monitor.

Introduction
Hunter is Melanie Owen and the late Steven Owen's son. Portrayed by Charlie Winter, his casting was announced on the 22nd December 2017. Viewers have speculated about Hunter since 2002, when Melanie left the show whilst carrying the genderless, un-named child. Charlie Winter said: "I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be on such an iconic show as EastEnders. It still feels really surreal that this has happened. It’s an exciting time for me and I can’t wait to get stuck in and for everyone to meet Hunter.", whilst an EastEnders spokesperson said "Fifteen year-old Hunter Owen is set to step foot in his dad’s old stomping ground but having never known his father, just what does he know about Steve Owen? Charming and charismatic, Hunter appears to take his father’s good traits but will he share his dark side too?"
