Darren Miller is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Charlie G. Hawkins.

Darren is presented as a mischievous child who causes trouble for the residents of Walford including the theft of a donkey as a gift for his twin sister, Demi Miller (Shana Swash), taken from Derek Harkinson (Ian Lavender).

Darren shares the money with Demi, but it is found by their older half-sister Dawn's (Kara Tointon) father, Mike Swann (Mark Wingett).

Darren finds employment at Kevin Wicks' (Phil Daniels) car lot, and decides to stay in Walford when his parents split up in 2006, and his mother and sister move to the Cotswolds.

He becomes friendly with Libby Fox (Belinda Owusu) and they perform numerous pranks on their families together; an attraction develops, and they begin a relationship.

Darren's last relatives in Walford, Dawn and her daughter Summer, also decide to leave with Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves).

Libby then goes to university, but returns when her father Owen Turner (Lee Ross) is released from prison.

Libby later overhears Heather and her best friend Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) talking about Darren.

When she returns to Walford, Darren is upset to learn that Libby is dating Adam Best (David Proud).

Darren and his flatmate Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) plan to attend the 2010 FIFA World Cup final.

When Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) hears that Darren is homeless, she convinces her father Max (Jake Wood) to let him stay with them.

Darren tries to win Jodie back by making her laugh and tries to explain that he had a circumcision but she will not listen to him because he did not tell her about Max and Vanessa.

Max and his elder daughter Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) later tell Darren it was a joke and she would never fancy him.

She uses the opportunity of the death of her cousin Billie Jackson (Devon Anderson) to get physically close to Darren to seek emotional support.

When Heather suffers carbon monoxide poisoning, Darren makes a responsible decision to take custody of George for his health and safety.

After the accident, Jodie decides that she is too young to be a stepmother, and, rather than make Darren choose between her and George, ends their relationship.

After saying goodbye to his friends, Darren visits Jodie and tells her that he still loves her but is not worthy enough to marry her and then leaves Walford in the wedding car that Mickey had hired for them.

They are able to trace him to India but are unable to find any more information so George is sent to live with his godmother, Shirley Carter.

The casting team held workshops, screen tests and script readings with the potential actors.

Even the dog is dodgy [...] They're set to cause havoc all over the square..." The family's introduction in September 2004 followed a survey in the Daily Mirror newspaper, which suggested that 57% of EastEnders viewers thought the soap had lost its appeal.

[5] In 2009, a "whodunnit"-style storyline saw the character of Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison) become pregnant by an unknown man.

Fergison told entertainment website Digital Spy, "Darren will be a good dad but he'll be very businesslike about it.

"[7] In December 2009, the show's executive producer Diederick Santer was asked what his favourite storyline of the year had been.

"[9] Hawkins told the Sunday Mirror that he could "barely remember life before EastEnders" and said he was leaving so he could "chill out and enjoy being a normal 20-year-old".

[12] Darren's 2010 circumcision storyline was criticised by a member of NHS staff who said Darren would not qualify to have the operation provided free of charge by the NHS as he does not have a valid medical reason for having it done, and that his apparent circumstances in the show make it seem unlikely he could afford to have the operation privately.
