Dr Al Jenkins is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Adam Croasdell.

Several female locals comment on his looks, and Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner) accidentally spills coffee on him, prompting him to ask her out.

After several drinks on different occasions in The Queen Victoria public house, Al invites Tanya to lunch at Fargo's restaurant.

Tanya's ex-husband Max (Jake Wood) overhears this and asks his son, Bradley (Charlie Clements), to go to the restaurant and spy on them.

In October 2009, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) approaches Al and asks him to section her mentally unstable daughter, Stacey (Lacey Turner).

He DJ's the dance contest for Children in Need and Chelsea Fox (Tiana Benjamin) invites him as her date to her parents Denise (Diane Parish) and Lucas' (Don Gilet) wedding.

Introduced in May 2009 by executive producer Diederick Santer, Al Jenkins follows on from Doctors Harold Legg (Leonard Fenton), Fred Fonseca (Jimi Mistry), Jonathan Leroy (Ivan Kaye), Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey), Oliver Cousins (Tom Ellis) and May Wright (Amanda Drew) as the soap's resident General Practitioner.

"[7] The character's affiliation with North Devon and surfing has been praised by Devonshire residents, with one saying, "This is really great for Ilfracombe, to have such a high profile mention in EastEnders.

Ilfracombe has a huge water sports culture and the town is definitely on the up, with people like Damien Hirst raising the profile.
