He left the soap in 2010 to pursue other acting opportunities but now, Thomas Law is back as Peter Beale and reveals what’s in store as his character returns to Albert Square
Peter Beale has been played by a stream of stars over the years – seven to be exact. But never before has an actor reprised their role as the famous Walford resident – until now. Thomas Law, 30, is back in EastEnders picking up the character he left behind 13 years ago.
Thomas was the fifth actor to take over the role in 2006 and left four years later to pursue other acting avenues. He starred in The World’s End, A Cinderella Story and more recently played DC Eddie Martin in ITV series The Bay. But Thomas is happy to be working closer to home again. “My mum’s a chaperone here, and she introduced herself to Chris Clenshaw at one of the EastEnders parties,” says Thomas. “She obviously mentioned that I’m her son, and I think Chris got very excited by that. In the same week, he’d spoken to Adam who called me and was like, ‘Fancy getting the band back together?’
“Everything shifts when Peter finds out he has two half-sisters,” says Thomas. “He had one sister, Lucy, and lost her. Now he’s found out he has two more, he’ll do anything to have a relationship with them." “He’s got an opportunity again to have sisters and care for them and love them. But it could come across needy and not knowing who Peter really is, they’re like, ‘Who the hell is this freak?’”
