Letitia Dean – 56 Years
EastEnders, the long-running British soap opera, has been a part of our lives since 1985, and it’s nothing short of astonishing that Letitia Dean, an original cast member, still graces our screens as the iconic Sharon Watts. Despite intermittent breaks from the show between 1995-2001 and 2006-2012, Sharon Watts remains a cherished character in the tapestry of British television.
Letitia Dean, the talented actress who brings Sharon to life, has made appearances in other series such as The Bill, The Hello Girls, and Lady Sullivan Is Getting Married. Nevertheless, EastEnders remains her most significant project, with 2021 marking her 2,371st appearance on the show – an incredible milestone that deserves all the applause!
