History
23 Albert Square is where Reg Cox is found dead in the opening of the very first episode in 1985. Reg had been living in the upstaire flat (The house then was split into two separate flats), with downstairs being Ali & Sue Osman's flat. Following Reg's death, his flat was taken by Mary Smith and her baby Annie Smith.

In 1997 Dot Branning returned to Walford after 4 years away and moved into the upstairs flat but only stayed a short while before leaving the square.

In the year 2000, the two flats were made back into one home and the Slater family moved in (Charlie, Kat, Lynne, Little Mo, Zoe, Stacey and Great grandmother Mo Harris). Zoe's friend Kelly Taylor has also lived in this property, Little Mo set fire to the house accidentally when standing up to Trevor Morgan and resulted in his death and a fireman named Tom Banks.

When Zoe's and Kat moved abroad there was more space available, there was only Charlie, Little Mo, Freddie and Stacey left living there. Stacey slater invited her best friend Ruby Allen to move in, after her dad Johnny Allen was sent to prison for multiple counts of murder.

Little Mo moved away to Barnstaple, she became a manager of a cafe, she also had run ins with social services after Freddie had an accident. Later Lynne left the square and her Father Charlie left soon after to live with her.

Between 2010 and 2013, the Slaters moved to the Queen Vic and rented out Number 23 to a number of residents, including Derek Branning. From Christmas 2013 to September 2014, Kat, her husband Alfie Moon, their son Tommy Moon and Great grandmother Mo Harris move back to Number 23.

When Alfie burns down the house in a failed Insurance Fraud Scam, the family are left homeless. While hiding from the police, Nick Cotton takes refuge in the burnt house. After taking a bad batch of Heroin, he dies in the same room in which he killed Reg Cox 30 years before.

In July 2015, The house is renovated and turned back into two separate flats. Once the renovation works are complete Buster Briggs, his long-term partner Shirley Carter and their son Dean Wicks move into 23B, Dean's partner Roxy Mitchell and her daughter Amy also move in with Dean.
