Rebecca Michael is a former English actress and Head of Marketing and Communication Products for Google who portrayed Janine Butcher in EastEnders from June 1989 to February 1993.
Aside from EastEnders, Michael only has one other credited television appearance under her wing, and that was in Love and Death on Long Island as the character Abigail in 1997, four years after her East End departure.
The character of Janine has been played by three different actresses, Charlie Brooks being the highly recognised one, although Michael plays a very significant and unique role to the character of Janine as she was the one who brought the character to life and the original, she was succeeded by Greek actress Alexia Demetriou.
Since leaving her alternate days, Michael has pursued on a successful career in marketing and has landed herself an impressive job for Google. She has been so successful in what she is currently doing that even the press seemed to notice who she was and leaked her current projects in the press.
