Really sad to hear the news, Jim was an EE legend and he and Dot were a lovely old couple and I loved his friendship with Patrick as well!

RIP!

RIP John Bardon, Saw him in other stuff before EE, always liked Jim Branning!

Just seen this news now this is so sad I liked John who played Jim and he suffered that stroke that stopped him playing the character and now hes died RIP to him x

RIP Jhn. Total legend.

RIP. One of my favourite Eastenders characters.

Just read about this [though I had a feeling we'd never see him on-screen again].

RIP John.

R.I.P John.

I don't see why. It's John that's died, not Jim.

A great award winning character actor who had a long career.

I fondly remember him in Rumpole of the Bailey where he often appeared as head of the Timson family, Rumpole's best clients.

Sad news. R.I.P John

Wasn't he also in East is East? Loved that.

John Bardon was a wonderful character actor. He never fully recovered from his stroke in 2007. I'm sure it is a blessed relief for him.

RIP John Bardon and my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

R.I.P John. Such a great actor. He'll be very much missed

Very sad to hear, I was wondering how he was a few weeks ago, loved Jim. RIP.

RIP. Sad to hear.

RIP John, what sad news to hear. I shall always remember him fondly, Jim Branning may not have been an iconic character but he was still a legend,

Was his last episode when he left in the ambulance?

aww i heard he died on the other forum bit on here sad news

Eastenders was just a small part of a very long and distinguished acting career.

R.I.P. John.
