12 years ago today Tiffany Mitchell was killed by Frank in a car accident as she was fleeing the square trying to get daughter Courtney from Grant & died just as the clocks struck midnight into 1999. It was quite an outroar at the time with TIffany being a soap favourite and being so vastly axed from the show.
Such a soap moment though! So do you remember watching it live as it happened? I vaguely remember it

My favourite EE one liner!!!
Another delightful family get together.
there was a documentary about her a few years back she only wanted some tme off but writors didnt like that, she also claimed it was unfair as many other characters at the time were taking breaks and returned but as soon as she wanted a break the world came to an end. if you go on youtube and type martine mcuatean documenary you may find it.
it was called you can't fire me, I'm famous
Loved Tiff

.... no shes not!:rolleyes::rolleyes:
More BS from Piers:rolleyes:
It was very gripping, especially when Tiffany & Grant had the final showdown at the vic before she died.
A good episode that capped an otherwise boring and repetitive storyline. By the time she died, I was pretty glad. Tiffany was a very good character in her first year and a half. A "slapper" version of Sharon. But after she married Grant it just went down hill.... she became so oppressed and dreary. Even her clothes went from bright and sharpish to black and dowdy.
Obviously its understandable given she married a thug like Grant, and I suppose in a way it was interesting to watch how a horrible, violent, oppressive man can change a woman... but unfortunately I don't think that was what the writers had in mind. Instead, they just had Tiffany feeling sorry for herself, mopping about, so by the time she was leaving it was good.
I enjoyed everything in this episode up until the end.... the actually running over bit I felt a bit laughable. Part of the problem also is that McCutcheon was never the worlds greatest actor and she struggled to do serious, highly dramatic scenes.
Killing her off was a good decision at the time. In hindsight it may be wrong, but no one back then would have known how few long term established characters EE would loose in the next 10 years, so that a middling-level character like Tiffany (in terms of the show's history) would be a godsend now.
Hardly surprising the episode won.... it was only shown 2 years before the 15th anniversary, so it was the last really dramatic big event episode. Polls always favour recent events.
Try topping polls in 20 years time like the Den and Angie stuff constantly does.... that is more of a sign of impact and longevity. It's been 10 years since the Tiffany death episode and in another 10 years I think people will barely remember it. It only occasionally makes "great episode" lists these days.
That was VERY presumptuous of McCutcheon. Honestly, do you think if her music career had actually taken off that she'd have been back??? Of course not. She was basically saying: I want to stop being in EE because I want to try music, but if I fail I want you to bring me back.
It isn't up to her what happens to her character. When she said she was not renewing her contract, the writers decide - actors do not get a say in it unless their characters are REALLY important. And despite what some on her may wish, Tiffany was not important enough for the "door to be left open".
