Edward Tunstall, played by Miles Anderson, is a councillor who appears between 7 and 29 February 2008. He meets Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) at a council lunch and wants to throw a party, so decides to use Ian and Christian Clarke's (John Partridge) events organising business, Fit for a Queen, to organise it. He assumes Ian is gay, and asks him out for a meal. During the meal, Ian admits that he is not totally in love with his wife, Jane Beale (Laurie Brett). Edward invites him to be his guest when he collects his MBE from the Queen, but due to Ian's daughter Lucy Beale's (Melissa Suffield) disappearance, Ian is unable to attend. In January 2009, Tunstall is reported to be involved in a scandal with a young man, mentioned in the Walford Gazette newspaper. It is then revealed that he has stepped down as councillor.

“No people can more exactly interpret the inmost meaning of the present situation in Ireland than the American Negro. The scheme is simple. You knock a man down and then have him arrested for assault. You kill a man and then hang the corpse.”
