Daniel "Dan" Sullivan is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Craig Fairbrass. Dan appeared on the show as a regular from 7 June 1999 to 10 July 2000 and then from 26 February to 16 August 2001. He became central to a plot involving a love triangle between himself, his lover Carol Jackson and Carol's daughter Bianca - whom Dan embarks on an affair with. Other major storylines included him being conned out of his share of The Queen Victoria, being framed and wrongly imprisoned for the shooting of archenemy Phil Mitchell and being responsible for the kidnapping of Melanie Owen.
Dan arrives in Albert Square as Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson)'s latest boyfriend in 1999 and they plan to marry on discovering she is expecting his child. Carol's daughter Bianca (Patsy Palmer) is stunned to see him, as they had had a fling when she was a teenager on holiday, many years before. Dan and Bianca begin an affair, which is discovered, leading Carol to have an abortion and leave Walford. Bianca also leaves Walford. Dan stays in the Square and buys Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp)'s share of The Queen Victoria public house from Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) for only £5. Dan then discovers that Phil, Roy Evans (Tony Caunter) and Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) are running a dodgy scam involving the car lot, so he informs the police. He later tells Melanie Healy (Tamzin Outhwaite) about this and she tells Lisa Shaw (Lucy Benjamin), leading to Phil finding out. Phil plots to win back his share of the pub and arranges a card game. When Phil wins the share back and smugly refunds Dan's £5, Dan vows revenge. He threatens Mel with phone calls and begins stalking her because she had told Phil about him informing the police and she was in on Phil's plan to throw him out of the pub. Mel is saved when Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) rescues her, threatening to kill him unless he leaves the Square and Dan leaves Walford in July 2000.
