Does anyone remember this extra character called Ron in EE who could be seen occasionally with Winston in the Vic. or outside in the market. One most memorable moment I remember of his was when there was a football match about 10 years ago and Ron got injured when a heavy bag or something fell on his foot on purpose by Pauline so that Arthur could be a goal keeper instead of Ron. I watched some of these old episodes on UK gold ages ago and saw this. How come Ron isn't in it anymore

I can remember when the actor died, his wife forged his will and was sent to jail.

I'm sure that big Ron did win the lottery though and just left in the programme.

The actor who played him died, so Big Ron won the lottery and left Warford. However this was not seen on screen and was just talked about by other characters.

Thanks, I knew that I wasn't imagining big Ron winning the lottery.

I remember that when he died, Ian (I think) made mention of it in the Vic that he was going to Ron's (off-screen) funeral.

lol, yes...Tracey/Jane Slaughter is an extra - granted though she gets more one liners than most EE extras! Until her family are introduced & she gets her very own official storyline, she will forever be an extra....

Notice Postie Jim and Michael Leader the milkman have not been seen for a while....
