Part 2- This Is Your Life- Peggy Mitchell
Peggy married Eric Mitchell in the 1960s because she was pregnant with Phil. Eric, a keen boxer, worked for gangster Johnny Allen. Johnny would taunt Eric, making him do demeaning jobs because Eric was a better boxer than him. Eric fell in love with a woman called Maureen and planned to elope with her, but changed his mind, unable to desert his family, who he grew to resent. Eric took his anger out on Peggy and was often violent towards her and Phil. Peggy considered leaving when her sons, Phil and Grant were teenagers, and once even tried to seduce Johnny Allen, but he turned her down. She turned to Eric's younger brother Archie because he was there for her when Eric began to abuse her. Peggy tried to save her marriage by having another child in 1975, her only daughter Sam. Her relationship with Eric improved, but only temporarily, and when Kevin Masters employed Peggy to work at his minicab firm, they began a secret affair. When Eric developed cancer, Peggy gave up work to care for him, but Kevin returned promptly after Eric's death in 1985 and Peggy's children took against him.
Peggy first appears in EastEnders when Sam's desire to escape from her family causes her to elope with Ricky Butcher at the age of sixteen. Peggy attempts to stop them marrying, but is unsuccessful. Peggy is then absent for a period of three years, during which time her relationship with Kevin ends. She returns to Walford when her sons fall out, after Phil has an affair with Grant's wife Sharon. Peggy becomes acting landlady of The Queen Vic. Blaming Sharon for the affair, Peggy tries to force her out of Walford, resulting in Sharon signing over her share of the pub and leaving the Mitchell family as the sole owners, with Peggy in charge. Peggy enters into a relationship with businessman George Palmer, unaware that he is a criminal involved in illegal money laundering. She instigates a hate campaign against local resident Mark Fowler when she discovers he is HIV positive, beginning a feud with his mother Pauline. Peggy later recants on her position when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. She initially refuses surgery and breaks up with George, fearing that he will not be able to handle her illness; however, with the support of her family and assurances from George, she eventually goes through with a lumpectomy. Peggy and George become engaged, but their relationship ends when Phil reveals his criminal nature.Peggy goes on to begin a relationship with local car lot owner Frank Butcher, and they become engaged. Peggy has doubts about the wedding when her cancer returns and she has to undergo a mastectomy, however she ultimately decides to go through with it. Tension develops between Peggy and Phil when Grant leaves for Rio de Janeiro after a violent fight with his brother. To spite Peggy, Phil sells Grant's share in the pub to local businessman Dan Sullivan for Ł5. Peggy loathes Dan, and the two frequently row over the running of the pub. Eventually, she and Phil call a truce, and are able to force Dan out of Walford. Peggy discovers Frank is planning on leaving her for his ex-wife Pat, so shames them by reading Frank's Dear Jane letter to the entire pub, and then slaps them both in front of everyone. She throws Frank out, and he leaves Walford without Pat. Afterwards, Peggy becomes depressed and begins to rely heavily on tranquillisers. When Frank's daughter Janine taunts her on Christmas Day about her father finding love with a new woman, Peggy begins drinking heavily and smashes up the pub with a baseball bat. The next year, Peggy is forced to sell the pub, having been left in debt by Frank, and is furious to discover the new owner is Sharon. Peggy begins dating Harry Slater, who owns a bar in Spain and convinces her to move there with him. They become engaged, but break up when it is revealed that Harry is guilty of sexually abusing his niece Kat. When Phil begins dating Sharon again and becomes joint owner of The Queen Vic, Peggy moves back in. She later becomes sole licensee again, when Sharon sells her half of the pub back to her. Peggy is then briefly reunited with Frank when she travels to Spain to attend his funeral. She discovers he is still alive, and has faked his own death to avoid debtors. Whilst she's in Spain she shockingly finds her daughter Sam working as a lap dancer and brings Sam back to Albert Square. Peggy decides to move to Brazil to be with Grant, and departs from the series for two years, returning briefly to attend her daughter Sam's wedding to local businessman Andy Hunter. When Peggy returns to Walford in 2005, she is furious to discover Sam has lost possession of The Queen Vic, and that the new licensee Chrissie Watts has framed Sam for her husband Den's murder. While trying to exonerate Sam and reclaim ownership of the pub, Peggy ignites a feud with Johnny Allen, who also wishes to buy The Queen Vic. Johnny hires a mobster to assault Peggy, but she is saved by her sons, Phil and Grant. They are able to deal with Johnny, secure Sam's release from prison, and return Peggy to The Queen Vic. Peggy begins a romance with Jack Edwards, the father-in-law of Peggy's relative Billy. However, when Peggy discovers Billy's newborn daughter has Down's syndrome, she declares that the baby should be put up for adoption, causing friction in her relationship with Jack. Although Peggy comes to accept the baby, Jack breaks up with her and leaves Walford. She later begins a relationship with her brother-in-law, Archie, father of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell. They get engaged and Archie begins subtly controlling Peggy. They marry, but it ends a few hours later when it is revealed that Archie lied to Ronnie about her infant daughter's death. Peggy has Archie evicted from The Queen Vic, and tries unsuccessfully to coerce Phil into murdering him. Peggy files for divorce and Archie plots revenge on the entire Mitchell family. When Peggy loses the bail surety she has paid on behalf of her daughter Sam (who breaks the conditions of her bail following coercion from Archie), the Mitchells are forced to use The Queen Victoria to gain a collateral Loan from Ian Beale. Archie blackmails Ian to sell the loan to him, and when the Mitchells are unable to meet the loan repayment, Archie evicts them and assumes ownership of the pub. However, Archie is murdered on Christmas Day 2009 by an unknown assailant. Peggy grieves for Archie, but she and various other members of her family become suspects for his murder. Following a police enquiry, Bradley Branning is posthumously found guilty of the murder, though unbeknown to everyone, the actual murderer is Stacey Slater. In his will, Archie leaves The Queen Vic to Roxy, who reinstates Peggy. After being disgusted with the state of the Square and learning that a councillor has stood down, Peggy and Pat both decide to run for council and are interviewed by journalist Harvey Freeman. Eventually they both pull out of the election, but Harvey hears of this and individually invites them both out. They both finally discover his two-timing, and humiliate him in punishment. When Phil prevents his daughter Louise from contacting her mother Lisa, Peggy interjects and Phil slaps her. Believing he is an unfit parent, Peggy takes Louise to Lisa against Phil's wishes. Although Lisa promises to allow Phil visitation, she flees with Louise. Phil blames Peggy for the loss of his child and begins using alcohol and heroin. Peggy tries to stop Phil using heroin by locking him in her pub, but Phil escapes and in a drunken bid for revenge, he sets fire to Peggy's pub. Peggy watches in horror as it is destroyed. Realising her role in Phil's problems, Peggy decides to leave Walford for his sake. After saying tearful goodbyes to her family and making peace with Phil, Peggy takes one last look at The Queen Vic and leaves Albert Square. Original Peggy

He is shocked to find Bevis setting up his stall. Bevis goes about his morning business and ignores him, dan begs him to hear him out. “You pledged your support to me. Every time I close my eyes I relive the moment. I did what I had to do, I’m not a bad person. I nearly confessed the day I went to see lotty, now I’ve run out of tablets, what’s going to happen? Just cos I wouldn’t shag you again, you abandon me. I thought you were a friend!” Bevis retaliates with an angry outburst, “You led me on and then made a fool out of me. You wanted me to leave, you got what you wanted, now keep out of my way or that doorstop will be making its way to the police station. Oh and I heard you on the phone to lotty. You deserve to be alone you possessive psycho.” A tearful dan keeps on walking. Joyof_pat looks lustfully out the window as Masood delivers the post. Scrabbler is shocked to find a visiting order from Gary dated today amongst the junk mail, will he go to see him? Priscilla is worried when sorcha says that she wants to move into TK’s house to be close to him. Sorcha tells her she’s off to organise the funeral, not mentioning the fact that she’s actually going to visit NeX in the hope of finding some answers. PrincessPerfect is making herself at home in Angie’s office, determined to prove herself especially when Scrabbler holds a meeting with the whole team in a bid to steer the ship after a bumpy few weeks. He decides to give Shirley a reprisal, saying that there’s still a lot of potential there and he may have wielded the axe prematurely plus ds wouldn’t be the same. They also discuss who to kill off in the upcoming train crash, “Right Tyler and Fatboy are gone, so that leaves 7 axings to get rid of. I think we should kill 3, preferably from different families so that it affects as many people as possible. Sam, AJ and Jack are my picks.” Scrabbler leaves PP in charge for the afternoon as decides to visit the man who tried to kill him…Also tonight, Klendathu has mixed emotions when he discovers Fatboy has left Poppy to go and work abroad. Vaslav is ecstatic to get the job as DS MOD, he makes his presence felt straight away by banning people who praise Newman. IanMandy is shaken after his dream that he was Mandy Salter, has he become too obsessed? Michael is upset that sorcha is getting all priscilla’s attention and tries to make her jealous in the Shirley Gutter by flirting with Sez_Babe. Los.kav visits dullagj2 in hospital telling him that he has moved in with vald as is attending AA meetings with Lauren but is thrown when he bumps into a nurse who knew him when he was a woman. Ian’s delighted to find out that Sharon is his new neighbour when she moves into Chryed’s old flat. Sorcha tells NeX she wants to know everything and when he tells her about the gang he got mixed up in, she’s sure she’s found the culprits. “Maybe they mistook him for me. People could never tell us apart when we were kids. I’m not telling you their names because they’re dangerous people, I don’t want any more blood on my hands. They’re letting me out for the funeral although I’ll be cuffed.” Sorcha is frustrated that she may never get justice for TK. Scrabbler’s is at the psychiatric hospital to see Gary. He apologises for what he did to him and thanks him for not pressing any charges. But he’s got one more favour to ask……….Gary wants him to find his missing sister, Emily. “She’s been missing for over a month now. I need your help, I’m afraid something has happened to her!” Scrabbler asks him for a picture and says that he’ll see what he can do. Sorcha meets with Rev Stevens in preparation for tomorrow’s funeral. “NeX is the only family he has in this country. He wasn’t religious but I am and I want to give him a proper send-off.” Dan’s working the late shift and takes the time to spy on Bevis, he’s shocked to see he’s still living on the Square when he enters the Masoods’ house. Thejoyof_pat tries to make Mas jealous in the pub by wearing a sultry, red, figure-hugging dress and flirting with AJ. When it doesn’t seem to be working she snogs AJ to the amusement of the rest of the punters. Shirley looks on distastefully, Masood doesn’t seem bothered but when he gets a phone-call that Kamil’s childminder is quitting, he asks pat is she’s up the job. She accepts without hesitation with Wicks on the way she thinks it’s only a matter of time before she’s feeding on his samosa. When AJ whispers for her to come back to his, she declines and heads home. Just when she thought her night couldn’t get any better, she sees David Wicks at Carol’s door. Duff duff: Thejoyof_pat skips home while swinging her handbag and grinning from ear to ear. COMING UP:

If hopping a foot to a chair then back to a bed is fine then yes he should go and deal with Carl, and you may think it's stupid.
But I can't wait for tonight it's Peggy fgs |

Yes we know he can't be bothered to do his exercises and I don't think he is a fit as you think where have you seen it?, anyway but try to see it like the rest off us which is Peggy is back.
You do remember their history so far back right? I know for most of us it's about that and seeing them have scenes again
