Dot Branning To Be Killed off for 30th Birthday?
Anyone think this will happen, if she gets that far? Only 14 months until EE 30th. I bet she will be killed off OR Phil will be murdered in a whodunnit

Nah, I think Danny Dyer will be the headline topic, either his murder revelation or being killed off

It would be more fitting if the 30th did involve the long running characters, like Ian and Dot

I hope not, but I'd like Dot to have an actual exit

She should get cancer and die, show the people of the UK how dangerous chain smoking is for once. I would praise that storyline highly!

June has always said she will stay with EE till the day she dies. She is a leg-end

Living 'til your in your 80s is not really going to send a message though.

that people actually do die of smoking - it would be poor if she didn't get cancer whilst Tanya, Peggy, Pat etc all had it whilst never smoking. EE needs to send the message that smoking kills

Your point about Tanya, Pat and Peggy has no relevance. You don't need to smoke to get cervical, breast or many other cancers. |

She should die a somewhat bizarre death that occurs whilst spring cleaning, when an ill-placed bible falls from a high shelf & takes her clean out.
That would please me no end. I could sit here & say to the missus ... "Matthew chapter four love." |

DTC said something about Ian having a huge storyline that will last a while, I think he will be the main story for the 30th along with Sharon finding out Phil was involved in Dennis death

EE is all about contemporary life and the hard issues we face, so a smoking SL would be good though as someone on here already said, I don't think Dot would be best for this storyline as she is now in her late 70s on the show so it wouldn't be as effective if it was an elderly person.
As for 'sending messages', all drama should have messages behind it and an underlaying theme. |

They cannot kill off dot she there is not a suitable replacement for her character and there are few older females left as it is who could be brought back since they killed off pat, Angie (dens wife), kathy (but the last 2s deaths happened off screen so we could pretend that never happen (Angie) or they were mistaken (kathy). I suspect it may effect how long EastEnders goes on for. I suspect that when dot leaves they will gradually reduces her appearances on the show to special occasions like christmas. |

People do get Cancer that have never smoked and equally life long smokers can get to their 80s or older and never contract it. There are certainly elderly members of my family like that. I'm not saying there isn't a link or that smoking doesn't harm your health but it isn't a straight cause and effect. Frankly, if there were going to do a straight 'smoking causes lung cancer' plot to set an example I'd rather they did it with a younger character like Max who will have known the dangers before he started (I certainly did in my early teens and we are about the same age) and went ahead and started anyway. Dot will have been well and truly addicted by the time the medical evidence really did indicate the dangers. It was more common to smoke than not to in the 50 and 60s when she was a young adult. That doesn't mean she couldn't have stopped, millions did but much harder when already hooked. |

Yeah I agree, I think they should do a smoking kills storyline but with a younger character. Dot's early days of smoking was likely pure tobacco and not the processed crap in cigarettes these days so it wouldn't of had as negative an effect as modern cigarettes for someone who is say 40-50.

Its morbid but I reckon June will die before Dot does in my honest opinion. I don't think June will ever leave EastEnders. Despite her woo haa every now and again she loves the show dearly. I think it will be a Betty Driver situation.
