The beginning of Shirley, one of the best storylines of the show. She had major storylines that were forefront on the show for years. I loved her in Bad Girls.
Who do we have now? Patrick.. Phil.. Sharon? All the true classic icons has gone in a time span of 10 years. RIP Pauline, RIP Peggy, RIP Dot, RIP Jim, RIP Nick, RIP Arthur, RIP Ethel, RIP Den, RIP Angie, RIP Frank, RIP Pat.
@@Ltforlife22 tbf many of them have passed on now. Of the ones you listed only Pat and Angie are still alive. The actors are older and it's understandable that they would want to leave.
Wendy was a staple of the EE but she was very ill in personal life. God bless her for so many years of fun on Are You Being Served and no doubt Pauline Fowler. God rest Wendy Richards
Where the hell was PAT!! Surely she was one of the most significant characters that should have been at the funeral and had known Pauline longer than practically every character on the square. Additionally Kevin and Denise and all the kids are living in her house. I am confused??
THANKYOU FOR THIS JUST HEARD JUNE BROWN BEST KNOWN AS DOT COTTEN HAS DIED AGED 95 MAY SHE REST IN PEACE I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD CIVVY STREET THAT SHE STARED IN IT WAS AN EASTENDERS SPIN OFF EPISODE IT WOULD BE A NICE TRIBUTE TO HER PLEASE AND THANKYOU
Incredible how Sonia and Martin have evolved . Saw them in the 90s ,teens and now the 2000s ,adults and parents I loved Tyana Benjamin as Chelsea but I also like Zaraa,charismatic. I loved also loved the other girls :Carly and Preeti ,I wish they could come back.
The writers should be ashamed of themselves for writing this poor excuse as a send off for Pauline. Why'd they'd had to have the Wicks storyline in this epei don't know. Also Peggy chucking snide remarks here and there and Mo's ill timed 'humour' is disrespectful in itself.
Don't worry, Peggy got her comeuppance when her youngest son didn't bother to show up to her wake, and when her daughter wasn't bothered AT ALL by her death. Sam was actually glad Peggy died.
Probably because she was an interfering old bag who was such a misery guts. Pauline did rub others up the wrong way so it was inevitable that there would be some sort of remark(s)
All I think about is death it frightens me June Brown Barbara Windsor Wendy Richards they have all gone I know people on earth don't live forever but even so
I was really disappointed with the show in how they handled the funeral of such an iconic character, it’s up there with one of the most unforgivable things that have happened. The absence of Pat is disgraceful her and Pauline, despite a frosty start, grew into close confidantes as the years progressed. Even how they have the characters stick the boot in later in the vic was horrible, the character deserved better than that. As usual Dot makes it all about herself 🙄
Pat was in real life quite poorly and so couldn’t do any filming which is why she isn’t in this scene and several others at that time. Hardly the fault of the producers!
I remember this episode as an 8 year old on that day I didn't know what was cremation or funeral was, as I watched now I cannot believe how I can remember this. How is this 16 years ago, I am now 24. its sad to watch, plus why did the police turn up at the funeral. its sad that Wendy Richard died young (same as the character pauline died young)
@@WorldNews92but the recast failed. They kept asking the Michelle actor to return and she said no but they ended up replacing her and everyone criticised it. So that's probably why Michelle didn't go to the funeral. Why put the Shirley storyline in with Pauline's funeral? So stupid and disrespectful. The show has been boring since, since they killed off den, Dennis and Pauline. Only Sharon and Phil are mildly interesting but the storylines are lame
Wendy Richards would have never left this role obviously we all know now she had cancer at the time rip Wendy 65 was far too young p.s eastenders is rubbish now
She didnt leave the role due to her cancer, she left the role due to how she felt the character been getting portrayed up to this point, as she felt Pauline had become out of character. Pauline was written out in 2006. Wendy (the actress) died in 2009.
I HATED Sonia, even now... her holier than thou attitude, she killed Pauline, stole Dots £30,000 .. and STILL she gets away with it... bloody hate that character
Mark was dead by this point. Michelle and Vicki both lived in America. Vicki was probably terrified to return to Walford after her last visit in the early 2000s with Den Watts and his demise.
I suppose if you wanted to make some sort of reasoning you could argue that Vicki could be wary of returning to Walford so soon after a hit was put on Dennis, resulting in him dying. I don’t think they ever really tied the Johnny Allen thing up properly, even his death was treated like an after thought.
@@gazzyb1079 that wouldn't work since Phil knew that Johnny and Danny moon were both dead. He would definitely have told Sharon, who would have in turn told Vicki. There really was no explanation. The only reasons I can think of is that they were busy, they couldn't afford the flights, or that Michelle selfishly kept away just like she did at her father and brother's funerals.
@@zacstimson9216 hey bro i have the video of phil and grant returning here www.dailymotion.com/video/x7y0o0x and the aftermath www.dailymotion.com/video/x7y0ono
@@maggiechandler8319 no she didn't, if I remember correctly Derek and Martin discover Joe was behind her death and Martin argued with Joe at Pauline's house which escalated into a fight where Joe fell through the upstairs window and died, meaning he didn't get prosecuted for what happened to Pauline
Sonia gave Pauline a smack which caused her to hit her head (and honestly that might be why she died, we'll never know for sure), but it was Joe hitting her that we all believe caused her death. Sonia's looking guilty as sin because she knows that she might just be a reason for why Pauline died. Honestly, I still hold her responsible because she didn't even bother to get her medical help after she hit Pauline, despite knowing (as a healthcare professional) that trauma to the head at Pauline's age can cause brain haemorrhages.
Kevin and Shirley talk about there kids never mentioned mick was sad Pauline shame Wendy Richard s died real life still be in it Barbara Windsor used working with Wendy Richards in carry on girls
