He was born during the episode broadcast on the 1 January 2015 on his parents' wedding day. Matthew is born in Walford General after Ronnie is involved in a car accident. She is later placed in a coma. Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) looks after her nephew with the help of her partner Aleks Shirovs (Kristian Kiehling) when Charlie refuses to see or care for his son due to Ronnie not being around. Matthew's grandfather, Nick Cotton (John Altman), takes Matthew from Roxy's house in the middle of the night and attempts to force Charlie to spend time with his son, although Charlie refuses and takes him back to Roxy. Aleks suggests naming him Matthew after Charlie's grandmother Dot Branning (June Brown) quotes from the Gospel of Matthew. Aleks's daughter Ineta (Gledisa Arthur) becomes fed up with her father looking after Matthew and takes him to the bus stop, so they can go to the hospital. Charlie finds them and takes Matthew home. Matthew is primarily cared for by his father Charlie and aunt Roxy until Ronnie is discharged from hospital when he is four months old. When Matthew is nine months old, he remains living with Ronnie when she and Charlie separate, although Charlie vows to fight for custody of his son. When Charlie tells Roxy he wants to take Matthew to France with them, she soon tells Ronnie. Roxy goes with Charlie but he soon works out that Ronnie and Roxy are planning together when he notices Roxy looking at her phone continuously and Fatboy informs him that Vincent has told Ronnie, so he decides to leave with Matthew alone. However, Ronnie arrives before Charlie can board his train, and convinces him not to make the same mistakes as Nick did. Charlie leaves on the train alone and leaves Matthew behind with Ronnie. Several days later, Charlie returns to Walford, having been persuaded by Dot to fight for custody, and refuses Ronnie access to Matthew threatening to reveal to the police that she murdered Carl White (Daniel Coonan). She and her ex-boyfriend Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood) confront Charlie, who then disappears, leaving Matthew in Ronnie's care again. Reporters for the ''Daily Mirror'' called Matthew an "unfortunate boy". While discussing how Matthew got his name, Jim Shelley for the ''Daily Mail'' observed "Matthew might be less happy about it when he hears that he had been named by the market manager rather than his dad." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of EastEnders characters (2015)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
