EastEnders - do you still miss Pat?
I was watching a scene from EastEnders and there was a Pat mention from David and Sharon. It's been 2 and a half years since Pat passed away.
Do you still miss Pat from EastEnders? I thought she was a real legend and she is sorely missed IMO. Thoughts?

Without a doubt. I'm convinced she would be back now had Bryan Kirkwood not been so short sighted.
June Brown took a four year break in the 90s and then came back. Babs Windsor suggested Pam had the intention of doing the same. She should never have been killed off. |

Absolutely. Pat was one of my favourites and I am still saddened of how Pat left the show because she shouldn't have been killed off. Pam St Clement didn't like the idea of Pat dying and I bet she would have returned under DTC. I miss her very much

I do miss Pat - but I'm glad she went the way she did.
I did not want Pat to fizzle out as a character, appearing less and less frequently over time. The best characters are always those that left you wanting more. Be it Angie at 3 years or Pat at 27 years - it's always best to leave too soon than too late. |

Out of all the great characters who were needlessly killed off, no one has left a hole as big as Pat has. Even the mere mention of her name these days improves the episode.
Miss her more than any other character

Yes I certainly do. There is no decent matriarch anymore.

Absolutely, Pat was simply irreplaceable. Her departure has left a huge void at the heart of the show.

Yes, I miss her so much
Bryan Kirkwood should be ashamed of himself for killing her off |

A bit. But she really had little to do in her latter years and I couldn't imagine her in the show without Janine, Peggy, David or Bianca.

I think the loss of Pat (and Pauline back in 2006) is one of the reasons I no longer consider myself a 'fan' of EastEnders. I still watch it occasionally, but I don't have the enthusiasm I used to have. Various producers over the years have been far too quick to kill off key characters, and as a result we have lost all familiarity. EastEnders might as well be a brand new show, there's nothing left that resembles the first twenty years any more. Huge shame.

It has become even more apparent how much Pat is missed with all the David stuff happening.
Damn imagine how great the scenes would be if she was still on the show! |

I agree she would have been great with all the David stuff. I also really missed her in the Janine/Michael storyline. Her and Michael would have had some great showdowns .

We never saw her pronounced dead
I honestly don't care how tacky it would seem if they tried to raise her from the dead, but if they honestly could find a way I wouldn't care. One of Frank's dodgy old schemes came back to bite Pat on the arse, idk.

I think she was killed off because she wasn't relevant to the direction the show was moving in

Absolutely. One of the most ridiculous jump the shark moments the show has ever done, and it's done some blinders in its time. It was a pointless, ill thought out death, and even the show seems to realize how much better so many of the storylines would be if Pat could have been involved. I have no idea what they were smoking when they let Bryan Kirkwood kill her off. Absolutely no idea.
She wasn't going forever. They've pretty much admitted that. A character with heaps of history, tonnes of connections, a legendary Eastenders character basically, played by an actress who simply wanted a break and would very likely have returned. There was no sense, no sense at all, in killing her off. To this day, her death is felt, but I get the impression the present production team feel it with frustration. They want her to be in it, and she can't be. |

Pat was like a on screen grandma, you'd grow up with her and saw her dishing out hugs and thick ears when needed. She was a character who was so versatile that she could have a scene with anyone and it worked.
So yes, I do miss Pat. I would even swallow a ressurection for her character just because she was that Awesome. I can never forgive Kirkwood for killing her off. Because getting rid of Pat nearly killed the show imo. The show should never be about just one person, but Pat was everything Eastenders is supposed to be about and so killing her off was the biggest mistake the show has ever made. |
