Soaps - The Future Pat, Peggys and Dots
Its no secret that June Brown is struggling with learning lines etc. and I think she has openly spoken about this current contract perhaps not getting renewed when it expires.
After Barbara Windsor left EE in 2011, her exit was seen as final, yet she made some cameos before this very final exit and it has me wondering, with so many 'legends' who have left soaps (Pauline, Pat, Peggy perhaps Dot next year) who will become the future anchors in the shows? Who will be crying over remembering iconic lines and stories? I'd like Jessie Wallace to return full time and become the 'new Pat'. It would be nice if Letitia Dean could commit to becoming the 'new Peggy' albeit as their own strong characters rather than clones of previous characters. I don't watch the other soaps to comment on them sorry. |

If feels so weird just thinking about losing Dot...horrible!
![]() But yeah, we've got some amazing characters, could see Sharon, Kat and Kathy becoming the future matriarchs. |

Kat (New Peggy) - Victim of Abuse, Glamourous (although cheaper Glam than old Peg), Headstrong mother, Landlady material, Killer slap/headbutt/punch, tough cookie with a soft centre.
Stacey (New Pat) - Tart with a heart, Matriarchal figure, made a fair few mistakes, been a slapper, Can handle herself in a brawl. Sharon (New Pauline) - Hard Faced, Miserable Looking, Always thinking she is too good for something/someone. I also though.. Kathy can take over as new Dot. Denise as like a new Carol Jackson?? |

Sonia/Little Mo could be the New Dot if Little Mo ever returned. ![]() Bianca will never be the new Carol. Carol was a smart woman. Bianca hasn't got a bloody clue! Bianca will be the one her kids all feel obliged to look after but constantly roll their eyes at :roll eyes: Sharon is too camp to be Pauline. Denise is winning in the miserable old bag stakes thus far. |

Definitely agree with Kat being the new Peggy. Also think Shirley is a mixture of Pat and Peggy, definitely. Dot could be represented, in my opinion, by either Kathy or Sharon maybe, more likely Kathy. Can see Sharon being a matriarch in her own right - a mixture of all three.
Also, partially agree with the idea of Denise being the new Pauline Fowler - a steely matriarch, with a cold exterior but somewhere beneath it all lies a heart of gold. For some reason, I can also see Linda as the new Angie or Pat. |

They did share a scene where they shared in common the pain of arguing sons. Can actually see Carmel as Peggy now. There's just so many strong female characters who have characteristics of these matriarchs! For example Belinda gives me Pat vibes - tart with a heart. |
