SHAUN WILLIAMSON has said Tony Caunter was “like a second father to me" as he paid tribute to his EastEnders onscreen parent following the actor's death.
Caunter, who played Roy Evans in the soap, died at the age of 88, his family announced.
The actor played the character from 1994 to 2003, with the car dealer a love interest for the character of Pat Butcher, played by Pam St Clement, with the couple later marrying as part of the soap storyline.
