Birds of a Feather star Peter Polycarpou is joining the cast of EastEnders.

The actor, who played Sharon's husband Chris Theodopolopodous on the classic sitcom, will make his first appearance next month.

Peter will play Yanis, the father-in-law of Kevin Wicks' daughter, Carly.

A spokeswoman told The Sun, "Peter's already filming and will make his first appearance at the end of February with his daughter-in-law and her husband Nico. Prepare for some fireworks!"

Sounds Good.

Someone posted this on Talk Walford, and I've checked the website -- he's only actually signed on for 3 episodes, so it's just going to be a small part.

I wonder if Carly's husband will be the same, or whether Nico will actually be a main character.

I don't think he will though -- according to the website Peter has already filmed his episodes, which I expect would have Nico in as well. So if he'd been cast as a permanent cast member we'd have already had the press release about it. We probably just heard about this one because it's a wellknown actor.

Here's the site though: Here
