The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 2017, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by the show's executive producer Sean O'Connor. In January, Shakil Kazemi's (Shaheen Jafargholi) friend Keegan Baker (Zack Morris) and Emerald Fox (Doña Croll), the mother of Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kim Fox-Hubbard (Tameka Empson), were introduced. Alexandra D'Costa (Sydney Craven) and Madison Drake (Seraphina Beh), Louise Mitchell's (Tilly Keeper) friends, also made their first appearance in January. Preston Cooper (Martin Anzor), a student with whom Michelle Fowler (Jenna Russell) had an illegal relationship in the United States, arrived in February, as did Konrad Topolski (Piotr Baumann).
Keegan Baker, played by Zack Morris, is a friend of Shakil Kazemi (Shaheen Jafargholi) who also goes to school with Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper) and Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield). He makes his first appearance on 9 January 2017.
Keegan is first seen playing a ball game with Shakil, and he causes the ball to land on Louise's mobile phone, smashing it and causing her to call him a "toenail" in anger. He later attends a party arranged by Shakil, and shows Shakil a video he took of a girl at school in the changing room, without her knowledge or consent, revealing he has sent it to everyone at school, which Shakil says is horrible. When Louise arranges a date with Travis Law-Hughes (Alex James-Phelps), Travis does not turn up, but Shakil, Keegan and their friends arrive and Keegan tells Louise she was messaging him and he teases Louise with things she said in the messages. Keegan pushes Louise into the lockers at school and insults Bex. Keegan is on board a bus that crashes into the market and viaduct. Keegan gets himself off the bus and films the incident and takes the opportunity to steal cigarettes from the local shop, and pushes Emerald Fox (Doña Croll) when she tries to stop him. Keegan posts the video of the bus crash online and teases Louise.
