^why does her being old mean she exempt from criticism, people are allowed to comment on what the article said and it is obvious that her exit was more about Barbara than Peggy. Ok so it was a joke and lighthearted I still don't see anything wrong with people expressing their opinion at the 'joke'.

I doubt if it is much more than sitting in their rooms with no job, no life and no friends.......!!! At least Windsor did something more with her own life.........!!! Now I will leave you in peace as I'm sure you are busy trying to be spiteful about other old people....

She should not be abused but she should stay retired and give someone else the chance

I'm not saying what was written is justified bit in reference to BIB that is what is so annoying because I think Babs knows EXACTLY what she's doing with her very carefully chosen "light hearted comments" to journalists. She knows by making them it keeps her relevant and in the news - regardless of whether they are true or not. Though it works (who are we talking about here for example?) Babs cannot have her cake and eat it. There is always a danger of overkill which will simply rile some people.
Rough with the smooth an' all dat...
It's always annoyed me that Barbara has always appeared to be put forward (either by her own words and actions and/or tptb) as the star of the show and Peggy the queen of the Square and the recent indulgence over the whole Peggy death nonsense has just compounded that. It would have been different had more time been taken over it and a proper storyline prepared, but the whole thing seemed to be thrown together so an ex-actress on the soap could have a final self indulgent hurrah despite not appearing, been relevant and not particularly missed for several years. If Peggy's death had any relevance to an upcoming storyline, she could just as easily have passed away offscreen. Nobody is bigger than the show.

A complete 2 hander, which ends with the pub doors opening - prompting Peggy to ask "What are you doing here?" before the duff duff and foreshadowing an unannounced death.
Then we have a second episode which features a shock death, letting us know who had died, and who had been met by Peggy and Pat.”

Why isn't this post getting any love? It's a ridiculously brilliant idea.

This all day long.
Goodness knows, she would have been unbearable had she been in EE as long as Bill Roache has been in Corrie...

What a brilliant idea! Almost like a parallel universe. Pat and Peggy hanging about in the ether, with perhaps Ethel with Willy dropping in now and again. Seriously though, I did like the episode where Peggy passed and Pat was waiting for her.
