    Yes she does.
    I like Linda and the rest of the Carter family. They have been great newcomers.

    To me she seems like an mash-up of all the best landladies. Angie, Sharon and Peggy. I see a bit of Chrissie's sass in there aswell

    I've said this from her very first appearance. Her mannerisms and voice are VERY Angie Watts.

    Yes, I said this ages ago when the Carters were first introduced. She seems to be settling in better now as I didn't like her acting at first; I still feel her facial grimaces are a bit OTT sometimes!!

    I don't mind her Kellie Brights seriously haggard face does put me of though.

    She is 38 yet looks late fifties and more like Micks mother.

    Sorry but HD does not do her any favours either.

    I think you need to go to Specsavers!

    Not only is Kellie an excellent actress and Linda is a potential legend - but also Kellie is a very beautiful woman - not that an actors looks should have anything to do with it.

    There are plenty of fake blonde, botox barbie dolls in this world - but I would rather not have them in Eastenders

    And I'm sure you're a beauty yourself?

    She's an actress, not a model. Id rather have a beautiful natural face on my screen than a Botox and collagen injected 38 year old.

    Such a vain and rude comment. I'll also bet that you wouldn't say the same thing about a male member of the cast.

    She's brilliant but just gets shit storylines, like most other cast members ATM... Great cast, rubbish plots! But yes, she is very much Angie watts!;)

    She's just the right side of camp to be believable and funny.

    She needs to share tips with Letitia Dean who's been falling onto the wrong side of camp the last couple of years.

    I never said she wasn't beautiful she just has aged very badly and I personally think anybody who doesn't think this is either deluded as you say needs to go to Specsavers.

    I am not an actor who graces a TV screen or movie screen asking to have people judge me on my appearance so don't even go there.

    Rude? hardly I said "Sorry" within my original post so as to (hopefully) not cause offence but I was just giving my honest opinion on how she looks and that is that she looks significantly older than 38.

    And yes I would say it about a male member of the cast if I thought the same what right do you have to say I wouldn't?

    Why? I just said she looks significantly older than she is I didn't call her ugly or insult her in any horrible way I just stated an honest opinion. Jeez

    For the record I have been a fan of Kellie's since her days of T Bag & The Upper Hand I also loved her as Delboy and Rodneys mother Joan in the Only Fools prequel. But I do think she has aged terribly and that is that I wish she hadn't but she has.

    I know what you mean OP, the similarities between the two are quite uncanny.

    I accept the fact they look nothing alike, act nothing alike, their family situation is nothing alike, their domestic set-up is nothing alike, their personal habits are nothing alike, their common traits are nothing alike, their lingo is nothing alike, their backstory is nothing alike, their dress sense is nothing alike, but they were both landladies of The Vic and both have a dog, so in that respect, they're exactly alike.

    :)

    Angie Watts was an iconic character but let's face it, Anita Dobson couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.

    I suppose powerhouse is one word for it. Too theatrical, maybe that's where Letitia Dean gets it from.
