Josie McFarlane is a fictional character that appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.[1] She was played by Joan Hooley between 25 August 1998 and 1 February 2000.[2] Since leaving the serial, Jamaican-born actress Joan Hooley has publicly accused EastEnders and the BBC of racism and tokenism, for giving her character no significant storylines, and using her as a prop.
