EastEnders: Who is Bronson?
Bronson first appeared in 2017 when Karen Taylor moved to Albert Square with her children Keanu, Keegan, Bernie, Chatham and Riley.
One of his famous scenes was when he ended up in the park pond after Kush Kazemi stopped him from tugging on Denise’s bag.

Keegan was furious with Kush over this and the police went to talk to Kush about the incident. However Karen decided not to make a complaint.
In 2019, Bailey Baker first appeared and was later revealed to be Mitch’s daughter, making her the half-sister to Karen’s kids Chantelle and Keegan.
At first Bailey was a bit nervous of Bronson but she soon grew close to the dog and they became best friends.
EastEnders airs Mondays at 8.05pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.35pm and Fridays at 8.30pm on BBC One.
