east enders billy jackson

[Slartybartfast]

has it been noted already but it is the original from when he was a little tearaway wild haired child.

I had wondered for years whether Billy was Billy i.e a boy or Billie i.e a girl.

Now I know.

Was I the only person to wonder?

i dont think originally he ever spoke, did he?

I originally thought he was a girl for about 2 years until carol referred to him as "he".

Yes it is the original Billy.

The guy who plays him has been in other stuff since.

Yes i remember his real name was Devon (unusual at the time), so it is the same guy.
