Kathy Beale is one of Walford's most iconic women. Right there from the very beginning, she has been at the heart of the action. Take a look back at just some of these classic moments.
Combined with great genetics, Kathy (and probably Taylforth in real life) doesn’t drink to excess, she doesn’t smoke. She’s living testament of how not indulging in those two habits can help preserve youthful looks. Her face is a marvel.
What I note is how the heavy Cockney accents from these original episodes has become more bland and softened in the current episodes. Makes these 80s episodes look like a parodies of residents of the East End are supposed to talk
Kathy was Born Around 1950, Ian Was Born around 1969/70, But Gillian and Adam were Born in 1955 and 1968 Respectively, so not that much of an age difference!
4:34 - I had to do just this when an illegitimate, born without my permission, hidden from me for all these years did the exact same. Told him he is nothing and to get lost out of my life. He was so hurt that he disappeared for good withouta trace. It takes two parents to agree on a child, not one. I applaud this storyline because Kathy was abused and was forced to have Donna against her wishes and gave her up for adoption.
You know Donna Eventually committed suicide and Kathy had to Bear that Weight on her Conscience for over 30 years don't you? I honestly hope yours had more luck!
Kathy’s right she is most certainly no Julia Roberts thank god. What was the point in bringing James Willmott Brown back to the show 2017 the storyline between him an Kathy was dead an buried years ago there was no need to drag it all up again.
Willmott Brown coming back was to bring the traumatic moment in Kathy’s life to a full close. Wilmott Brown was rich but miserable. His nastiness uncontrolled. His return allowed Kathy to see how she’s changed since he raped her. He withered and died but she flourishes.
@@jonwiley2592 Dead unconfirmed. He had everything handed to him on a silver platter, back in 80s when he was living in Walford amongst the regulars his father never approved his choice of living in a place like Walford. Willmott Brown one the few people outside of East End who saw Walford had potential to change but the people of Albert Square don’t like change there intimidated by the Upper Class.
The whole show isn’t the same. It’s become a caricature of its former self. The clips from 1985-2000 are all believable and well acted. The 2015 onwards clips demonstrate how the show became overblown and exaggerated. Both Sharon and Kathy behaved out of character for the sake of sensationalism.
