Janine Butcher

Janine Butcher came to the Square in 1989 for her father Frank Butcher's marriage to Pat Evans (Wicks) and ended up living with him. On the 1st January 2004 she pushed her newly-wed husband Barry Evans off a cliff killing him and she got away with it. She then went to prison for pushing Laura Beale down the stairs (even though she was innocent). In 2008 she came back for Frank Butcher's funeral and stayed in Walford. In 2009 she ran over Danielle Jonesand killed her.

She was married to Ryan Malloy but tried to poison him in late 2010 ,early 2011

Janine has a poem devoted to her based on the 'Night before Christmas', named 'The Janine who stole Christmas', which was posted on the Eastenders blog on the 5th December 2012.

This brutal minx's motto is that money can buy happiness. She will manipulate, marry and murder once she’s had a sniff of the Queen’s head. She inherited a fortune after the death of her catty grandmother Lydia. But whether that money will lead to fulfilment is yet to be seen.

Janine will depart in 2014

Janine's a great actress who enjoys seducing people, but the clever diva doesn't always get the end results she desires, which has even led to her imprisonment.

Underneath the hard exterior she's really a little girl lost, who wants to love and be loved more than anything - just don't expect her to admit it! Has she found it with husband and father of her little girl Scarlet, Michael Moon? Or will she live to regret ripping up that pre-nup?
