Josh Saunders is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Jon Lee between 1997 and 1998. Josh was a love interest for the character Clare Bates. Josh was introduced as part of a storyline to aid the departure of the long-running characters, Nigel and Clare Bates. Actor Paul Bradley had decided to leave the serial, reportedly for fear of being typecast.The writers of EastEnders wanted to give Nigel a happy ending, so a character named Julie Haye was invented to be a love interest for Nigel, whilst her son, Josh, was invented to be a love interest for Nigel’s daughter, Clare. Lee has said that he won a part in EastEnders “by complete accident really.” He played the role of Josh for six months. When the storyline reached its end, the Bates family joined Josh and his mother for a new life in Scotland. Josh last appeared in April 1998.
