Abi Branning

Abi's bubbly, and self-assured, with a nose for mischief. She has the biggest heart in Walford and brings out the best in those around her, not least her boyfriend, Jay Mitchell and best friend Lola.

• Favourite films: Dirty Dancing and Twilight.
• Favourite pin-up: Jacob from Twilight.

She may be young, but she's packed plenty of drama into her years. She's been hit by Deano's car, discovered Trina's dead body in Charlie's summer-house, watched her parents' marriage unravel, ravel and unravel again. However, through it all, Abi has managed to keep a sensible head on her shoulders, unlike older sister Lauren, who Abi is determined she will never end up like.
