In between 1985 and 1994, the residents of this house were never seen or mentioned.

1994-[]

After a short time Shirley Carter started renting the top floor flat. Her son Dean Wicks moved in for a while, but then he moved back to Pat's. Heather Trott moved in with Shirley in September 2007 to escape her controlling mother, Queenie.

On 11 March 2008, Shirley was evicted from the top floor flat by her landlord Norman. Norman is the last known occupant of the flat, explaining to Shirley at the time that he needed to live there after being caught cheating by his wife.

On 15 July 2008, Ian Beale announced to his wife, Jane that he had purchased the property after remortgaging their home. After cleaning the top flat and being initially refused by Ian, Dawn Swann handed two months rent to him in order for her and her partner Jase Dyer to live their with their respective children, Summer and Jay. On 18 July, Ian gave Dawn the keys to 89B, Dawn and Jase had a flat warming party and invited the residents of the Square. When Jase is killed in the flat by Terry Bates and his gang, Dawn, and the kids move out.

In Late 2008, Garry Hobbs paid the deposit for Callum Monks to live in 89B, renting from Ian Beale.

In January 2009, Ronnie Mitchell moved in as Callum Monks moved back in with Garry Hobbs, Minty Peterson, Dawn Swann and Summer Swann due to Ian raising the rent on the flat and Callum was unable to afford it. Ronnie later moved back in with the rest of the Mitchells in March/April 2009.

Lola gets pregnant, and gives birth to Lexi Pearce. Shirley and Tina Carter move in for a month while homeless in November 2013. Peter Beale also lived here while in a relationship with Lola in 2014. Honey returns in May 2014 and informs Billy that she wants to take William to Canada, and that she wants him to have Janet full-time.

On 17 October 2019, Martin Fowler and Tubbs Savage collect money from Carly, a resident of one of the flats (though not necessarily legally) on behalf of Ben Mitchell's moneylending business.

On 19 October 2020, Paul Skeggs mentions that his aunt, Mrs Hancock lives in the house and that he is temporarily staying at the house when Honey Mitchell brings food on behalf of the food bank. He later drugs and sexually assaults Honey.

Between 2020 and 2024, the flats are renumbered. The basement flat became 89A.

In December 2024, Nish Panesar hides out in 89A after fleeing the police. He continues to inhabit the property illegally, with his grandson Davinder Gulati frequently entering the property to give Nish food and water. He remains there until 1 January 2025, where, after hitting Denise Fox over the head with a wine bottle, he leaves the building to go and overthrow Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin's wedding. After Nish dies, Priya Nandra-Hart and Davinder enter the property and clean it out with bleach in order to prevent the police from discovering that Davinder knew of Nish's whereabouts.

In May 2025, Kojo Asare begins flat hunting. He settles on 89C, once again the basement flat, and moves in alone. In June, he invites George Knight to stay with him after he and his wife Elaine Knight split up. In July, Harry Mitchell moves in after being unable to stand living with his mum Nicola Mitchell. After falling into a spot of bother with the pair, Harry reluctantly lets Ravi Gulati and Tobias Okyere to move their drug operations into the flat. During a house party, Okie gives Kojo MDMA, causing intense suspicion from George.

Deaths[]

There has been three deaths within this residence:

  • Laura Beale died instantly when she tripped on one of Bobby's toys and fell down the stairs, breaking her neck at 89A, in April 2004.
  • Jase Dyer was brutally murdered by Terry Bates and his gang inside 89B, in August 2008.
  • Tobias Okyere was stabbed in self defence by Harry Mitchell at 89C, in November 2025.

Notes[]

  • The basement flat number has been heavily inconsistent over the year. In 2001 it is seen as 89A, and later on seen as 89C. In January 2025, Nish Panesar hides in the basement flat, once again numbered 89A, however In September 2025, it was revealed that Kojo's flat was 89C George Street, even though it is a basement flat, and 89C was the top floor flat. This is likely a continuity error given the flat door wasn't seen between Nish and Kojo's residency in the basement flat.
