Bea Pollard is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Ronni Ancona. She made her first appearance on 7 January 2026 when she was introduced as a former school acquaintance of Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). It transpires that Linda bullied Bea at school and when she is made homeless, Linda takes her in, moving her to Walford. Comedian and impressionist Ronni Ancona was attracted to the role since she found Bea to be unpredictable, complex and enjoyed her dark humour. In June 2026, it was announced that Ancona would be leaving the show and that Bea would depart in a "dramatic storyline". She left on 8 July 2026. Ben Wadey, the executive producer responsible for overseeing Bea's creation, wanted to bring in a character who is tragic yet funny. Throughout her tenure, Bea has been shown to be a mentally unhinged, desperate and vulnerable person who reshapes herself into different versions of herself to please others. One of her major storyline arcs has included becoming obsessed with Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) and attempting to steal her identity by moving in with her, getting the same job as her, taking out a credit card in her name and committing credit card fraud and dressing identically. She also endures a short-lived relationship with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) until he discovers her crimes.
