Adam Tozier

Adam Michael Tozier is the son of Richie and Amy Tozier, born 3 June, 2012. Adam is portrayed by Ty Panitz.

Having previously appeared as a baby and a toddler, it was announced on 19 January 2016 that Adam was to return to Brierbush Road played by child actor Ty Panitz. Panitz commented: "It's brilliant - I'm going to be a Tozier. I am really looking forward to getting started." He was cast alongside Selena Gomez who would play Kayla Brady. In 2017, Adam was part of a storyline which saw him and his father, as well as Chelsea Cockburn and her daughter, Madison, involved in a car accident, when the range rover they were travelling in crashed into a lake. The scenes cost £1 million to produce, and were filmed in Surrey over four days, partly in a specially designed stunt tank.

EastEnders scriptwriters worked closely with the NSPCC on the storyline which saw Adam abused by Warren. Explaining the motivation behind Warren's abuse of Adam, he revealed: "As far as Adam's concerned, he sees him as an obstacle which he has to overcome to get what he wants. And the fact he doesn't understand unconditional love, the fact he's never experienced it, goes a long way in explaining why he's treating Adam the way he is. Ultimately, Adam's in his way and he realises that he has a hold over him and he'll use that power to get him out of the way.[5]

It was announced on 9 May 2016 that Adam would be written out of the show as part of the show's revamp. A spokesperson said "Adam's exit will be one of the biggest storylines of the summer. It's going to very dramatic and will have repercussions for months to come. Fans are in for a real treat with this one.
