What is it with Michelle Fowler and funerals? She didn't go to Marks or her own mum's! Do you think she ever cared about her family?

The actress was asked to go but she refused.

But the trouble is

Susan Tully who played Michelle, has stated she will never return to eastenders - no matter how much they offer to pay her

which means if Michelle was to return, they would have to get a new actress to play the part

She's moved on from Eastenders, she does work behind the cameras now, I don't think she acts anymore, she produces or directs, I'm not sure which

Is there any need to be so rude? The OP was only asking a question.

If they recast Michelle then if truly will be the final nail in the coffin. Susan Tully will ALWAYS be Michelle, the programme needs to forget about the Fowlers and try and create believable new characters.

Other charactrs have been recast, most notabily Peggy & Sam Mitchel. The viewers only take a few episodes to get used to the new actor.

Anyway the perfect actor to play Michelle would be that one who was killed off in e'dale. I dont know her name but she is married to Harry Kewl the footie player!

I agree - Michelle was there when EE was brilliant and she was excellent - they CAN NOT recast. I would love her to come back but to be honest, if I was Susan Tully I wouldn't come back for all the tea in China - not the the programme it is now This is proven by their complete lack of the imagination to even pretend to explain Michelle's absence from so many important occasions. Even if they just said that Michelle had gotten too posh and big for her boots and couldn't bring herself to come back it would have at least been an excuse.

Peggy had only appeared once or twice, years before, when they recast her. And Sam was never half the personality of Michelle. She was easily replaceable.

The Fowlers and Watts are all gone now and have no reason to return to Walford.

I don't want her to return now. They completely ruined her character by the fact that she never have any reason for not attending the funeral of any of her own family members.

And EE is the worse of for it, I'm afraid, so I can understand people's desire to bring back old characters.

IMO they did that long ago when they got her pregnant by Grant. Michelle made a youthful mistake when she went with Sharon's dad - she would NEVER have duplicated the error by going with her husband - she and Sharon were next to being "sisters" - Michelle would not have betrayed sharon again. BIG MISTAKE and the beginning of the downturn of EE as far as I'm concerned

Here's a pic of her, she would be perfect as Michelle.

Shree Murphy is not the right person to stand in a Michelle Fowler. They need someone a bit older to play the part. Michelle has to now be in her late 30's. Never mind the fact that Sheree Murphy is terrible.

Susan Tully who plays Michelle Fowler does not wish to return, so they couldn't possibly bring her back unless they recast her.

Besides, she would have no reason to return, all of her family are either dead or no longer live in Walford

EE as moved on from the fowlers now. It would be very weak if they brought any of them back. They need to focus on bringing in new, exciting characters, not recasting old ones.

Michelle no longer has any reason to come back to Walford. Other than Ian I suppose.

Imagine her returning for Ians funeral (if he ever died). She can't make her mother, farther or Brothers funeral and yet she makes her cousin.

Yes, I watch Emmerdale so I knew he she is now - just couldn't think who you were talking about in your first post (mainly because E/Dale kill off so many people, hehe)

To be honest, it's been such a long time since Michelle was in it and the audience will have changed so much, so few people would be bothered by a recast...but as others have said, it's really too late to bring her back now that the Fowlers have all gone, especially as she didn't bother to turn up before, when they were there.
