I agree she doesnt want to retire she is able to do a job and deserved more than not having her phone calls returned a nice touch would have been mr popodopulas turning up to talk to her after all her years service rather than taking a cowards way out

Yeah Dot shouldn't stand for this shoddy treatment she should stage a sit in at the laundrette and refuse to leave until they show her some respect, failing that go around and petrol bomb Mr Flopalopadolos house.

I think I am alone in being very indifferent to Dot . I find her sanctimonious holier _ than - thou persona very hard to warm to

That said, I'm still hanging desperately on to the hope that with Ronnie leaving, SOC will bring Charlie back for her. |

The way she is has been treated by her boss of 50 years is disgusting.

I've been watching since the start and I've never truly warmed to Dot. I don't hate her but I didn't miss her when she left for a couple of years and I wouldn't be fussed if she left now.

I did laugh when she told Kathy and Shirley she hadn't had a job interview since Harold Wilson was Prime Minister.

Maybe newlyweds Colin & Eddie can hire Dot to be their housekeeper, and she can do things for them like like keep house, laundry, change bed sheets, etc.

As sad as a young lad being brutally murdered ?
It's not even as sad as her killing her son after a lifetime of abuse. When it comes to being old Sylvie's story is far sadder. |

Maybe if she'd shown him some respect by actually bothering to learn his name after 50 years he'd have reciprocated and treated her with some respect now. As it is she should have retired a long, long time ago.

Her sacking was worth it for the introduction of MyJemima off of HR. A deeply sexy woman.

The story is pure ageism at it's worst, gosh I am so outraged I feel I should be complaining to Ofcom in the strongest terms.

I neither dislike or like Dot. Unfortunately it is now the world works. When a company wants rid of an employee loyalty goes out of the window and times move on.

Why would you compare it to such extreme storylines? The OP never said it was sadder than those things. But it doesn't mean that Dot's current situation isn't still sad.
