Danny Dyer, known for his role in EastEnders, has shared a heartfelt tribute to his co-star Timothy West, who passed away at the age of 90. Timothy's family announced the news, stating that he peacefully passed away in his sleep surrounded by loved ones. He leaves behind his wife of 61 years, Prunella Scales, as well as a sister, daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. His family expresses their gratitude to the dedicated NHS staff who provided loving care during his final days.
On Instagram, Danny posted a message in honor of Timothy's passing. The two actors worked closely together as grandfather and grandson on the popular BBC soap. In 2014, Timothy joined the cast as Stan Carter, the father of established characters Shirley and Tina Carter. His character was also the grandfather of Danny's character, Mick Carter. The EastEnders Instagram account shared a statement paying tribute to Timothy, and Danny left a heartfelt message in the comments expressing his disbelief and sadness.
Timothy's character, Stan, brought a familiar and lovable presence to the Carter family. He was immediately adored and loved by all those who worked with him on the show. Sadly, Stan's time on the show came to an end in 2015, when he passed away after a battle with terminal prostate cancer. His departure was a significant loss for the show and its fans.
In the wake of Timothy's passing, Danny's co-star Kellie Bright, who plays Mick's wife Linda Carter, also shared a heartfelt message. She describes working alongside Timothy as a highlight of her career, noting his kind and humorous nature and his exceptional acting skills. She refers to him as the "OG Stan Carter" and expresses her condolences to his family.
