If Peggy ever came back full time and the Carters were still going strong in The Vic do you think she would work as the manager of The Albert?
Personally I think Peggy works best when she is behind a bar. I know some people may think she's a bit old for The Albert but what do you think?
And BTW this is not a thread about whether you like the character or not.

If I was EP and Peggy came back, the Carter's would be shown the door,
I'm afraid.
Or... Peggy could buy a share in the vic or something, and be made manager (well at least that would satisfy Carter fans:D)
She would probably work without the vic, if there was a strong Mitchell storyline for them all... However, there are many ways she could be at the vic! I'd LOVE to see the Mitchell's behind the bar, once again.
Nevertheless I miss Peggy so much the Mitchells have not been the same without here and I loved her cameo last night. Running the Albert could be an option but like has been said with age, maybe it's better to just have retired Peggy running the Mitchells from behind the scenes.
Barbara Windsor seems to only want short returns, so maybe it would work to have her in an Aunt Sal-type role, coming in for a couple of episodes here and there a few times a year?
Peggy has never actually lived on the square for long and not owned the Vic. When she lost the pub to Sharon in 2001 and to Archie in 2009 it wasn't long before she was back behind the bar. I do wonder what they had planned for Peggy when they installed Alfie in the Vic in 2002. Peggy hired Alfie as the bar manager and moved into number 32 however very soon after in real life Barbara got sick and had to be written out for 2 years. I wonder what they would have done with Peggy had she stuck around with her living away from the pub.
I remember reading several years ago that they were planning an affair between Peggy and Dennis Rickman but it was dropped due to Barbara's exit from the show.
That's a no to the Launderette Job then?
I'd want the Mitchells back behind the bar and the Carters in The Albert or something. I'd also have Alfie and Kat working there part time.
I think the Vic may one day be Sharon's again.
Absolutely not. As much as I love the Carters, if I was producer I would turf them out, and give Peggy The Vic again. Peggy's home will always be the Vic, I just couldn't imagine her living anywhere else on the Square, Although the Carters have also managed/owned pubs for years, I could imagine them living in a house on the Square. They have a great dynamic as a family, whereas I think Peggy would be a bit lost without the Vic.
It would have been nice to Sharon back at the Vic though. ;-)
This is what I thought. This would be the only way to get the Carters out the Vic, if Babs did return full time.
When Peggy is in the Vic, the writers don't write for her because she is there anyway. But when she wasn't in the vic they had to write for her to give her screen time and she got involved in lots of different things and it was exciting.
My point is Peggy and the Vic is over, and she clearly has retired anyway so why would she come out of retirement?
I'd have Phil or Peggy as landlord/landlady
Ronnie and Roxy living there too
Kat/Alfie managing the bar
Stacey and Shirley as barmaids
No, you've missunderstood what I meant. I reckon the Carters would remain in the pub running it, but Peggy would effectively own it. She'd stomp about saying lines like 'My pub....', keeping in character, but the Carters would still mostly continue as normal.
