List of minor EastEnders characters (1999)

The following is a list of minor characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 1999, by order of first appearance.

Claudia Fielding
Claudia Fielding (née Duncan) was the sister of Saskia Duncan, who arrived in Walford after her sister's death on 14 February 1999. She went to Walford as it was the last place Saskia was seen, and her disappearance was being investigated by the police. She was suspicious of Steve Owen, her sister's former fiancé and killer, but then became dependent on him, alternating between the two and irritating Steve. Matthew Rose, who witnessed Saskia's death, worried that Claudia would discover that her sister was dead. She eventually returned home after Saskia's body was found buried in Epping Forest.

Claudia testified at Steve's trial and was devastated when he was cleared of Saskia's murder.

Susie Price
Susie Price was the older sister of Natalie Price and she was first seen in EastEnders in August 1999, when Natalie, who had been estranged from her family for some time, returned to her family home to introduce her new fiancé, Barry Evans.

Natalie and Susie did not get along. Their mother, Andrea, had always favoured Susie, and the two of them liked nothing better than to pick holes in Natalie. Susie was angry with Natalie because she had been absent for several years and she constantly jibed Natalie about her appearance and how unattractive Barry was.

Susie's last appearance was in December 1999, when she attended Natalie and Barry's wedding. She tried and failed to foist her young son into the proceedings as a pageboy, but was prohibited from having any part in the organisation of the wedding.

Jack Price
Jack Price was the young brother of Natalie Price and he was first seen in EastEnders in August 1999, when Natalie took her new fiancé, Barry, to visit their mother, Andrea.

Jack was a talented footballer and had just been offered a scholarship with Liverpool F.C., a fact that Barry was unaware of. Jack managed to use this to his advantage when he conned Barry into betting him a pound for every minute he managed to keep a football in the air. Over half an hour later, Jack had still not dropped the ball and Barry was forced to pay a sizeable sum.

Jack's last appearance was in December 1999, when he attended Natalie and Barry's wedding.

Enrico di Clemente
Enrico di Clemente was an Italian foreign exchange student, who stayed with the Fowler family in 1999. He made a big impression on Sonia Jackson, particularly when she discovered that he was a fellow trumpet player with a penchant for jazz music. However, he also received a lot of unwanted attention from Sonia's friend, Nicky di Marco, which caused several arguments.

Sonia was sure that Enrico preferred Nicky and so she shunned him when he asked her on a date. Nicky eventually grew tired of Enrico constantly talking about Sonia, so she told him to tell her how he felt. He did, and Sonia was overjoyed. However their romance was shortlived, as Enrico went home to Italy the following day, but not before he'd taken her for a romantic meal and a dance at Guiseppe's Italian restaurant. They shared a kiss, and Sonia confessed that it had been her first.

Jane Healy
Jane Healy was Melanie's mother who attended her wedding to Ian Beale on New Year's Eve 1999. Jane spent much of the day bickering with her ex-husband Jeff.
