Ali Osman
Ali Osman is a fictional character from the
BBC soap opera ''
EastEnders'', played by
Nejdet Salih. He was a member of the original ''EastEnders'' cast, appearing in the first episode on 19 February 1985. He remained with the show for nearly five years afterwards, making his last appearance on 10 October 1989. Ali was scripted as happy-go-lucky, which was in stark contrast to his highly strung wife,
Sue Osman (
Sandy Ratcliff). Central to his storylines were his penchant for
gambling, his tempestuous marriage, and the loss of his son to cot death, which was one of the first controversial storylines covered by the soap. He was created by
Julia Smith and
Tony Holland, the creators of ''EastEnders''.
