About Ava Hartman
Ava Hartman is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Clare Perkins. Perkins' casting was announced in September 2012 and she made her first appearance on 20 November 2012. Ava had previously been mentioned in 2012 as the long-lost daughter of established character Cora Cross and the half-sister of Tanya Branning, who never knew she had another sibling. Cora initially claims that Ava died shortly after birth, but she actually was forced to give her up for adoption. When Tanya discovers the truth, she tracks Ava down and Ava ends up meeting Cora. Ava and her son Dexter Hartman end up moving to Walford when Ava tries to help Liam Butcher with a gang that Dexter used to be part of. Perkins praised the soap for raising awareness of gangs as she grew up in London and it was an issue that she was passionate about.
