Letitia Dean – 55 Years
Bearing in mind EastEnders has been on since 1985, it is incredible that Letitia Dean (one of the original cast members) is still playing the legendary character of Sharon Watts. Although Watts was left out of the soap between 1995 and 2001 and 2006 and 2012, it is undeniable that she’s one of the most beloved soapie characters in the records of British television. The actress behind Watts, Dean, appeared in The Bill, The Hello Girls, and Lady Sullivan Is Getting Married. Nevertheless, EastEnders is still by far her most significant project. In 2021, she celebrated her 2,371st showing in the series. Absolutely remarkable!
