Tiffany Butcher-Baker (also Dean and Butcher) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Maisie Smith.

[5] In November 2017, it was announced that executive consultant John Yorke was to reintroduce the character, with Smith reprising her role as Tiffany full-time.

[6][7] Her storylines since her return have included her friendship with Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris), becoming a drug dealer, being groomed by Evie Steele (Sophia Capasso) and subsequently being raped, and forming a relationship and later marriage with Keegan Baker (Zack Morris).

Bianca, Whitney, Liam (now James Forde), Tiffany and her brother Morgan Butcher (Devon Higgs) are evicted by their landlord.

Tiffany causes havoc by stealing a top from Stacey Slater’s (Lacey Turner) stall for Whitney to wear for a family party and defacing the pavement outside Zainab Masood’s (Nina Wadia) house before ruining her primroses by pouring soapy water over them.

However, she takes to Bianca's cousins Bradley (Charlie Clements) and Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald), sharing a common interest in animals.

However, Tiffany is once again left devastated when her aunt Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) spitefully reclaims Terrence, who was originally her dog.

Janine enters Tiffany in a children's talent contest, telling her to think of Wellard her family pets death to make herself cry and gain sympathy from the judges.

They also find a kitten, which Bianca’s uncle Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) helps to look after, and he encourages them to keep it a secret from the rest of the family and names it Joey.

She returns for Janine's wedding to Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), along with Ricky, Morgan and her aunt Diane Butcher (Sophie Lawrence).

Whitney postpones her plans and Tiffany manipulates her into letting her stay by lying that Bianca has attempted suicide and faking panic attacks.

Tiffany is allowed to stay when she explains that TJ had sex with random girls when he was supposed to be caring for her in Bianca and Terry's absence.

Tiffany then sets Whitney up on a date with Callum "Halfway" Highway (Tony Clay) and befriends Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris).

Tiffany decides to return to Milton Keynes when Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra) confronts her over a selfie of her and his family's foster son, Harley, which leads to his kidnap by his birth parents, but Whitney is persuaded to allow Tiffany to remain by Bernadette and Harley's foster father, Arshad Ahmed (Madhav Sharma), who is Masood’s uncle.

She allows them to use Ted Murray’s (Christopher Timothy) flat after she steals his keys and Tiffany is shocked to discover Evie is the leader of the gang.

Tiffany remains in the gang, grooming Dennis Rickman Jnr (Bleu Landau) much to his mother Sharon Mitchell’s (Letitia Dean) fury.

Liam even tries to convince Tiffany to divorce Keegan and take her half of their business earnings, not revealing that this true intentions are to steal the money from her, but she doesn't go through with this.

Tiffany's posts online attract a crowd to the pub along with some of Aaron's friends and a confrontation eventually breaks out between them and Keegan, Lola, her boyfriend Isaac Baptiste (Stevie Basaula) and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).

Despite the crowd being thrown out, Aaron instructs his friends to attack Keegan as he walks home, leaving him in hospital with a collapsed lung.

Tiffany's new make-up business fails when Liam, Janine, Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) steal cars from her customers and she is accused of being responsible.

In December 2022, Bianca and Carol visit Tiffany in Germany, and all three are unable to attend the funeral of her step-great-grandmother Dot Branning (June Brown).

[9] Actress Maisie Smith, aged 6 at the time of her casting, began filming for EastEnders four days a week from January 2008 and, according to her mother, shares traits with the character she plays: "The role is an exaggeration of her own personality, she's a little madam.

"[12] Vicky Prior from Metro commented that losing Smith was a "real shame" as she "is a star in the making and despite her young age, has proved adept at both comedy and tragedy."

She also stated that Morgan "recently proved an excellent comedy partner for Tiffany" and was "looking forward to seeing these two grow in character and also as actors.

[19] Morgan opined Tiffany's return will provide storylines for Whitney and lead to the potential reintroduction of the Butcher family, especially Janine.

"[19] Morgan later gave reasons for Tiffany to have a relationship with newcomer Hunter Owen (Charlie Winter), stating that although "cheeky Tiff thinks the handsome teen is anything but" and despite setting him up with Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper), she could indeed want him "for herself", though she may be "a little bit too young.

"[21] Despite "already treading on rocky ground, life gets even worse" for Tiffany when she is confronted by the Ahmeds about photos posted online of her and their new foster child, Harley, who is kidnapped by his biological parents.

Executive producer, Jon Sen, commented that everyone on the show was "very sad to see Maisie leave" and that she's been a "wonderful company member."

Digital Spy's Kris Green has said Maisie Smith is "brilliant" and "one...to watch", comparing her to Ellis Hollins, the award-winning child actor who plays Tom Cunningham in the Channel 4 teen soap opera Hollyoaks.

[22] She has also been praised by stage school teacher Sandra Singer, who said: "Maisie has the most incredible memory and when it comes to script work she is fantastic.
