Stevie Basaula has joined ‘EastEnders’ as Sheree Trueman’s son.
The ‘Bulletproof’ actor made his debut as Isaac Baptiste on the BBC One soap during last night’s (01.01.20) one-hour flashback episode, in which the character was reunited with his mother Sheree (Suzette Llewellyn).
Stevie said: "I feel very blessed to be a part of such an iconic show.
"Like many of us around the country, ‘EastEnders’ is something I’ve grown up with so it excites me to be bringing to life the part of Isaac."
Fiercely confident Isaac is set to ruffle some feathers in Walford, but he is harbouring a secret.
Jon Sen, EastEnders’ Executive Producer, added: "We’re thrilled to welcome Stevie to ‘EastEnders’.
"We’ve teased the character of Isaac – the ‘other man’ in Sheree’s life – ever since her arrival six months ago.
"Today Isaac has arrived on the Square with bravado, charisma and his fair share of charm.
"A teacher with a troubled past, his story will unfold over the coming weeks as we discover just why Sheree has kept him away from Patrick these last few months."
Last summer, it was announced Suzette would be joining the cast of ‘EastEnders’ as Sheree, a new love interest for Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker).
A tweet from the BBC Soap’s official Twitter read: "Suzette Llewellyn joins the cast of #EastEnders, taking on the role of Sheree. Her arrival this summer promises to bring love, laughter and life to The Square. She arrives in Walford on the arm of Patrick, how will Kim and Denise react to the new woman in Patrick’s life? (sic)"
