Peggy Mitchell
As we prepare to say one last goodbye to a Walford icon, let’s remember what made Peggy one of the best matriarchs this show has seen.


Babs’ first episode

Peggy v Sharon

Peggy/Phil/Grant

Peggy reveals she has cancer

Frank supports Peggy

Peggy reads Frank's leaving letter

Sharon's return shocks Peggy

Peggy/Pauline catfight

Peggy/Sharon

Peggy v Chrissie

Peggy v Pauline

Peggy and her waterpistol

Pat/Peggy ice cream van

Peggy & Aunt Sal argue

Queen Vic fire

Peggy exits in 2010


Sarah Phelps
Tonight is Sarah’s 100th episode. Sarah is probably most remembered for resurrecting and murdering Den Watts but she also created Sean Slater and wrote many key episodes in the early to mid noughties like Kat and Alfie’s 2005 exit and the Armistice day episode. Here’s some Phelpsie episodes:

Den's return

Shannis

Den's murder

The Square turn against Dennis

Shannis wedding

Stacey returns to Walford

Kalfie exit

That cast list looks far too big, lets hope most of them are just in the background.

Post didn't process for some reason, so let me try this again.

Thanks for the excellent thread, DJ!

To be honest, I can't help but feel Peggy's final return has been a bit rushed for some reason. I still feel there was more closure to be made before her final moments. Friday's ep was nice but it still feels a bit too sudden and unsatisfying somehow. I'm not ready to say goodbye to her yet. yet. It'll be sad for sure. Seeing all that fire that she usually had gone is somewhat heartbreaking.

I'm also surprised that it's not gonna be an hour episode.

Too kind Maggie. You're very welcome. Xx

Yes and I'd like some Peggy/Sharon closure. Welcome back, this calls for a cheese and pickle sandwich....

That cast list looks far too big, lets hope most of them are just in the background.
Yes, the pub is full but the main action will be the Mitchells.

I don't think that cast list includes everybody in the episode. I think there's some surprises to come.

Yes the death does feel a bit too sudden but I'd rather that than it be drawn out.

Haha. I have a reputation to uphold. I do have 50 threads worth of material to fall back on although the youtube videos are deleted sometimes.

Thanks Lushness. I haven't been this hyped since LiveWeek / Lucy death aftermath week.

You don't really want Pat to come back just so you will need resuscitation from the SexyParamedic
