Plummer said: "It's been such a privilege to play Chantelle and to be able to tell her story. Sadly what she goes through is all too common and her death is a reminder of the devastating effect of domestic abuse. I've known it wasn't going to end well for Chantelle for a while now and although it was a shock to find out her fate, far too many men and women suffer in silence so I hope that by raising awareness we can ultimately save lives. I am so grateful to all the team and my lovely cast members for being so supportive, I'll miss Albert Square."[24]

Daniel continues to be seen each time Jean visits the hospital and they start to grow close. In September 2019, Daniel reveals that his cancer has returned and is now terminal, and Jean promises to care for him. As her feelings for Daniel begin to blossom, and she gets excited about introducing him to Stacey, Jean receives a call from Daniel's neighbour saying that Daniel has died, having been discovered at his home. Jean attends his memorial alongside Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami), but it is revealed that Daniel faked his own death because he felt that he was getting too emotionally involved with Jean and did not want to put her through the pain of watching him die slowly. Two months later, Kush visits the hospital to give some magazines on Jean's behalf and bumps into Daniel. He persuades him to come back to Walford and tell Jean the truth but he refuses. Kush gives up and says goodbye.
On Christmas Day, Daniel returns to Walford contemplating telling Jean the truth when he discovers the Panesar brothers demanding back rent money from the Slaters in exchange for them not being evicted from their house. He quickly pays for the rent himself and re-introduces himself to Jean, who is furious at him for faking his death. She asks him for an explanation as to why he did it; he admits that it is because he was falling in love with her and knowing she was falling for him as well, he did not want her to go through the pain of saying goodbye to him on his deathbed.

Jonno Highway, played by Richard Graham, is the father of Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay). Jonno began appearing as a guest on 1 July 2019.[34][35] Upon the red carpet at the British Soap Awards 2019, Champ spoke to Radio Times about Graham's casting: "Richard comes in and it's an explosive little storyline. It illuminates a lot about Stuart and his brother Callum's upbringing. It was rough!"[34] Clay spoke to Metro exclusively: "I think Jonno is the crutch of it all – you really see in him why Callum and Stuart have so many issues. You see where Stuart's aggression comes from and why Callum is so reluctant to come forward about how he feels as he has someone who has suppressed him and put him down all these years. It's all about Callum trying to be the man to prove himself to his dad – but that's not who he wants to be. He just wants his dad to be proud of him but he's never going to be because nothing he ever does is good enough. He has seen his dad be aggressive when he was younger – he has that hold over them still. The minute he walks back in, it's “here we go again”. But equally, there's a hope that it could all work out okay. Maybe they can do this and do the whole family thing, even with what did happen with Ben – but then again, it is EastEnders, isn't it? We’ve seen the impact that Stuart has had on the people of the Square and now you are going to see the root of that and that's in his dad. That can only bring a whirlwind. He's the life of the party but behind closed doors, he is something else entirely and he brings a real edge to the Square. You really start to see the root of Callum and Stuart's troubles – it'll be really interesting to watch. Viewers will hopefully start to get it – and that’ll be the excitement."[35]
Jonno is first seen after being contacted by his son Callum's fiancée, Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). He has a disagreement with Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) over gay pride and is confronted by his father, Phil (Steve McFadden).

Jonno confronts Ben in the toilets and expresses his disgust with homosexuals, causing a fight between him and Ben. Jonno's true colours are exposed and Stuart threatens him out of Walford. Jonno returns two months later, wanting to find out how Callum's wedding went. When he discovers that the wedding was called off he confronts Callum about it, and Callum comes out as gay to his father.

Little Peggy said 'get out my pub!'"[52] Benjamin also praised her young co-star: "Oh my god, she was amazing. She was totally fantastic, and adorable. I mean, talk about scene-stealing! I mean, she honestly was gorgeous. But yeah, we built a really lovely chemistry. I've not seen her on-screen yet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing it because she's just, she was a natural. I mean, it was just a gift, she's a delight. She's got some lovely [scenes], she does. She had a couple of lines that were written in the scripts. I thought, 'I don't know how they're gonna get her to say these lines.' But you kind of prepped her. I said, 'I'll say this. And then d'you want to try and say that?' and it just kept running and kept running. And she would do it. I honestly can't wait to see how she comes across on-screen."[52]
