 Traditionally, the end music to "EastEnders" begins with dramatic drums, but occasionally, especially when a character departs, a piano introduction is used.This is called Julia's Theme, after Julia Smith.Her final contribution to EastEnders, along with that of fellow creator Tony Holland, came in early 1989, amid a dispute with BBC bosses as to whether the character of Den Watts (played by Leslie Grantham) could ever return to the show after being shot and supposedly killed.
