Penny Branning is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders. She was played by Mia McKenna-Bruce in 2008 and Kitty Castledine since 2024. She was initially a recurring character who appeared between 21 January and 1 February 2008, and 15–18 April 2008. In November 2023, it was announced that Penny would be returning to the soap. She returned alongside her cousin Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) on 1 January 2024. Penny is the daughter of established character Jack (Scott Maslen) and Selina Branning (Daisy Beaumont), the half-sister of Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and Ricky Branning (Frankie Day). Since her return, Penny's storylines have included a drug-dealing career and framing Lauren for smuggling, manipulating her way into a managerial position at Peggy's wine bar and the aftermath of a crowd collapse and crush that occurs there under her supervision, and teaming up with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) to exact revenge on her father.
