Right, I've just watched Eastenders for Peggy's one episode comeback. It was very short and I really didn't like the scenes in hospital but I dido e the ending with a bottle of booze for Pat.

Do I want Peggy to come back, yes I would but not full time, maybe a few episodes per month. I don't want the character to be involved in every storyline going and in every scene but I would like her behind the Vic on a part time basics.

Actually I would like to see Big Mo become buddies with Peggy and I like to see Charlie Slater back.

The show needs her but only part time. She can get tiring when she keeps banging on about family and ordering people out of her pub. I'd love to see her go into business with Sharon and have them share The Vic.

The show needs her badly and I have always enjoyed her so yes.

I actually really hope they are trying to bring her back but with a hard hitting storyline. Maybe something on the lines of her having cancer again and she needs Phil's support, after going through with all her treatment, Phil asks her to stay as he's enjoyed having his Mom around and she's far more needed in the square and for him. Something for Babs to really sink her teeth into and bring back some of the old viewers

I think a part time Peggy would work, I doubt Babs would come back full time.

I agree, part time would be best as what Eastenders do is when there is a returning character, the whole soap for weeks and months end up being about them. I would like to see her in 4 episodes per month and that way other characters gets a look in in storylines

Yes please I did vote full-time, but I think Barb would only come back part-time.

For her last few years at EastEnders, Pam St Clement was only part-time due to ill health. If it worked for Pat it can definitely work for Peggy.

No, make what you have work now. For soaps to evolve characters move on and new ones arrive, stop relying on bring backs to stem the flagging and insist the writing room get their act together.

I also agree with this comment about the writing room to get their act together as this is what has gone wrong from BK days, they just don't know how to engage the audience interest by repeating storylines, having no plan for characters if they are new , old or returning.

I'd love her back full time but, given that's highly unlikely, I'd be happy with a part time Peggy.

No. I don't think she is needed. She is someone who likes to control and dominate her family...I want to see Phil and Ronnie grow stronger, not be back under her thumb.

The scene at the end with Peggy leaving a bottle of Gin at Pat's doorstep was Barbara Windsor's own idea.

It just goes to show what can happen when actors are allowed creative input and not just left to act out a poorly written script.

They need scenes like this to believe the soap has a history and maybe when actors leave they need more realistic and ask them to come back maybe for a episode or two just to visit their family and friends.

Part time don't want her back in the Vic because the Vic needs different characters running it not the Mitchell's or the Moons if Alfie gets kicked of the vic

We all agree a new family would be welcome as long as they are developed and have a purpose on the show.
