Carl White is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Daniel Coonan. He first appears in the 4660th episode, originally broadcast in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2013. Carl is the ex-boyfriend of Kirsty Branning (Kierston Wareing), and his storylines include tracking down cash owed to him by Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman), which Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) has used to open a restaurant, trying to win Kirsty back, a relationship with Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) and feuds with Max Branning (Jake Wood), Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack), who kills him. He is a villainous character, who has been called "manipulative", "unpredictable", "nasty" and "scary", though Jim Shelley from the Daily Mail called him "a fairly undistinguished presence". The character was axed in September 2013 and departed in the episode first broadcast in the UK on 1 January 2014, a joint broadcast of episodes 4775 and 4776, after being killed by Ronnie.
Carl arrives at Bianca Butcher's (Patsy Palmer) house, after she telephones him thinking his number belonged to her father David Wicks (Michael French). Bianca assumes Carl is the plumber, but when the real plumber arrives, Carl says he is the friend of Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) that Bianca called. He learns that Derek is dead, and claims to know his daughter Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks), so Bianca gives him her address. He visits Alice, who gives him the box that contained the phone number, which Alice says was found by Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt). Bianca's friend Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) realises that Carl lied about knowing Alice and warns Alice and Bianca to be wary of him. Carl visits Ian, who denies knowing Derek. Carl realises Ian took £10,000 from the box that Derek owed him, and Ian is terrified of Carl. The next day, Carl sees his ex-girlfriend, Kirsty Branning (Kierston Wareing), who says she is now married and pregnant, and he has no reason to stay. At the restaurant, Carl makes Ian confess to taking his money, and tells Ian to pay him £500 a week for the foreseeable future. He then tells Kirsty he is not leaving. Ian soon realises the situation between Carl and Kirsty, so he threatens to tell Kirsty about Carl's blackmail. Carl responds by burning Ian's hand.
