Pearl Rogers, played by Su Elliot, is a local homeless woman who takes shelter in fish and chip shop Beale's Plaice on 17 February 2009, much to the chagrin of owner Ian Beale. This prompts him to forbid his charitable employee Lucas Johnson to serve her. However, Lucas ignores him and gives her some chips for free. She has a conversation with Dawn Swann when she confides in Pearl about her relationship with Garry Hobbs. During this conversation, Pearl states that she is a widow and her husband died of cancer. She is last seen on 20 February 2009 when Lucas is caught giving free food from Beale's Plaice to her and homeless friends. This leads to Ian and Lucas having an argument and Lucas decides to quit his job.
