EastEnders fans will remember the lovable Minty Peterson (Cliff Parisi) who was in Albert Square for eight years between 2002 and 2010. During his first appearance he was known as Rick but was later called Minty by his friends because he was always running late to work (his nickname is also a nod to the chocolate After Eight). He enjoyed nearly a decade of failed romances and being thick as thieves with some Walford icons before his departure, but because it’s been so long since Minty packed his bags, we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane.
