Beppe di Marco is a fictional character from the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Michael Greco. Beppe was his family's pride and joy, so it was a big shock to them when he was fired from the police force for attempting to frame local hardman Grant Mitchell. Beppe was the local heart-throb and he had numerous relationships in Albert Square, which all ended in disaster. [edit] HistoryBeppe first appeared when George Palmer and Peggy Mitchell attended his father's funeral in January 1998. He moved to Albert Square in February 1998, with the rest of his family: mother Rosa, brother Gianni and sisters Teresa and Nicky. Beppe's family came to Walford to open an Italian restaurant, and he had built himself a successful career in the police force, progressing through the ranks to the Vice squad. Beppe was a single father to Joe. Joe's mother, Sandra had abandoned them when Joe was 10 months old - driven away by Beppe's interfering family, who never forgave her for not being Italian. Upon his arrival, Beppe instantly clashed with the Mitchell brothers, Phil and Grant, who were known to dabble on the wrong side of the law and Beppe saw them as trouble makers. Beppe's animosity towards Grant, in particular, increased when he struck up a close friendship with Grant's abused wife Tiffany. It wasn't long before Beppe had fallen in love with Tiffany and was urging her to leave Grant for him. Tiffany decided to do this after she caught Grant in bed with her mother Louise and she packed her bags ready to flee Walford with her and Grant's daughter, Courtney. However, just as Tiffany was about to leave, she fell down the stairs, leading everyone to suspect that Grant had pushed her. Beppe was furious and arrested Grant for attempted murder. He also coerced Tiffany, who was recovering in hospital, to pretend Grant had pushed her in order to keep him locked up. Tiffany did but her conscience got the better of her and she later wrote a letter exonerating her husband of any wrong doing and instructed her best friend, Bianca, to hand it to the police after she'd left Walford. However, before she left, she was killed in a car accident, whilst trying to reclaim her child from Grant, who had been released on bail that same day. Since Tiffany had been on the verge of eloping with Beppe, he never forgave Grant, and when he got the letter that exonerated him, Beppe burned it rather than see his enemy cleared. Beppe was subsequently kicked off the force for withholding evidence and police misconduct. Now out of work, Beppe got a job as a cab driver working for Barry Evans and later embarked on a stormy relationship with Grant's little sister, Sam Mitchell. Sam took the relationship more seriously than Beppe, and became extremely jealous of his platonic friendship with his flatmate Nina Harris, so their relationship didn't last long. In 2000, Beppe became a partner with Steve Owen and took on management of his nightclub The E20. His police contacts came in handy soon after when drugs were found in his club and he managed to persuade them to turn a blind eye. Also in 2000, Beppe's estranged wife Sandra returned, hoping to gain access to their son, Joe. Although she was met with hostility at first, she and Beppe soon grew closer and eventually rekindled their romance, much to Beppe's family's disgust. Because of his ties, he also decided to stay in Walford when the rest of his family moved to Leicester. Beppe was still in love with Sandra and soon began pressurising her to have more children. The suggestion was met with hostility and she flatly refused. Soon after, Beppe's old vice-squad partner, Jack Robbins, arrived in Albert Square looking for Sandra. It turned out that Sandra had been involved with Jack for years before returning to Walford. She had left him following a miscarriage that left her unable to have children. Sandra tried to deny her feelings for Jack, but eventually she admitted that she was still in love with him and had only reconciled with Beppe so she could get custody of her son. She and Jack reignited their romance and Sandra made plans to flee Walford with Jack and Joe. However, Beppe caught them just as they were about to leave and when he realised what was going on he attacked Jack, took Joe back and denied Sandra any access. Sandra and Jack subsequently threatened to take Beppe to court for custody of Joe. Beppe retaliated by using his police contacts to plant drugs on Jack, getting him kicked from the force. The constant rowing was having a negative effect on Joe and he found it difficult to choose between his warring parents. This culminated in him getting hit by a car when he disobeyed his father and ran across the road to be with his mother. Joe was not seriously hurt, but the accident made his parents rethink their behaviour. Beppe eventually allowed Sandra visitation rights and so she left Walford with Jack the following year. In 2002, before Steve was killed in a car accident, Beppe bought out his share of the 20 and became sole owner of the club, which was a massive shock to Steve's wife Mel, as she had been led to believe that she was the sole owner. During this period, Beppe spent much of his time bedding anonymous women and dumping them when he got bored. He even ended up contracting a minor STD. Beppe became close to Lynne Slater, who would regularly babysit Joe whilst he was working, and she helped point out the error of his womanising ways. Beppe fell for Lynne and attempted to stop her marrying Garry Hobbs, but although Lynne was tempted, she went ahead with the marriage. In 2002, Beppe had news that his mother had died of a heart attack, which prompted him to sell his club to Sharon Watts and leave Walford to tend to his grieving family. [edit] In popular cultureThe character of Beppe di Marco has been spoofed in the cartoon sketch show 2DTV. He was said to be in the womanising circuit with comedian Russell Brand on the last series of Big Brother's Big Mouth in 2006. He is also well known for his well sculpted beard. [edit] External links
