Eddy Brimson, To say East Ender Eddy Brimson has a colourful past is something of an understatement.

As an actor, he has appeared on such diverse programmes as Absolutely Fabulous, The Thin Blue Line, Casualty, The Bill and EastEnders, where he played, you’ve guessed it, an East End villain, who torched Frank’s car lot.
