: Claudette Hubbard leaving confirmed EE
4 of 4
I like Claudette but she doesn't appear often enough to be missed. And frankly, even as a fan of the character, I can see DTC, Lamb and Batten destroyed the character by turning her into a remorseless murderer. As if that wasn't bad enough she's now dating the man who helped cover up her "murder". This show is a joke.
Goodbye, Claudette and your magnificent breasts. See you in a few years, Ellen, as a different character. Fifth time's the charm?

They backed Claudette into a corner when it was revealed she murdered her husband, Vincent's father, in cold blood. Really where she could go after that? She also had a hand in Fatboy's death.
It was too much with Ronnie, Bobby and his enablers around at the same time.

Not surprised. Ellen Thomas never struck me as the type to stick with a soap opera for too long, she's always been busy doing other shows and theatre.
As usual, good actress with a wasted character.

I wonder if this is more Cora related. I can see them pairing her with Patrick and to Vaslaz's delight it does look like she is returning.

Four times as four different characters including Claudette actually...

From Wikipedia:
Thomas is perhaps best known for the number of characters she has portrayed in the BBC soap opera, EastEnders. She played Pearl Chadwick in 1990, Estella Hulton in 2002, Grace Olubunmi from 2010–11 and is currently playing Claudette Hubbard since 2015.
Shame she's going as I liked her character and agree she had more potential. I also like Ellen (and her mammoth assets!) but her acting could be a little uneven. But when she was good, she was excellent.
Hoping she does make a return one of these days...
I've given up with EE but this news doesn't surprise me. They completely f..ked up her character over the Kathy return / link to Mitchells / murdering her husband / Fatboy etc. It was a shocking(ingly bad) storyline.
Having a character like Claudette being a long term foster parent was a good one. It could have produced a flow of characters coming into show (and going again) without having to create long lost / never mentioned relatives. A matriarchal character with an edge.

And here she is as Kofi's grandmother, Pearl Chadwick, back in 1990:

No, 'Josie McFarlane' was played by ex Emergency Ward 10 actress Joan Hooley
