On June 10, 1986, Josephine Melville made her television show debut in EastEnders, and she appeared there every week until July 10, 1986. Only eight episodes or so were devoted to the character, but those episodes were vital to the development of the plot.
Harry Reynolds and Kelvin Carpenter’s friend from college is Tessa. Later, Kelvin adopts Harry and Tessa’s radical Marxist viewpoints. Following Tessa’s attraction to Kelvin, the two realize they have a lot in common and start dating.
When Kelvin becomes more interested in pop music than in overthrowing the Thatcher government, their courtship faces a setback. He joins the Dog Market and The Banned, the group that replaces it. Tessa also wishes to join the group, but is unable to because she lacks Kelvin’s talent. When Kelvin tells her it’s time for them to go, she silently leaves Albert Square.
Since its debut in February 1985, EastEnders has been acclaimed as one of the most important series in the history of British television drama because it deals with issues that are sensitive in British society. The cast and crew have also received a number of honors.
