Eddie Royle
Edward "Eddie" Royle, played by Michael Melia from 1990 until 1991, arrives in Walford in July 1990 as the new landlord of The Queen Victoria public house, which he buys from Frank Butcher (Mike Reid). He is a serious minded landlord, far different to his predecessors. Not everyone takes to him, particularly when they discover his prior profession -a policeman. Born in Ireland, Eddie came to Britain with his parents as a boy. Bright and energetic, he couldn't wait to join the police force and when he did, he loved his job, priding himself on being an honest copper.
