Who beat up Dot?
Songbird
19-04-2003
I haven't read any spoilers, so don't know about this.
I reckon its Nick

No cos it was someone pretending to go round collecting and it wasn't Nick.

I thought he looked like a 15 year-old, but Pauline seemed to think it was a man so maybe I got it wrong.

It could have been Dot Cotton's long lost twin if Pauline thought she saw a man!

This is quite a difficult for EE to tackle...its important to show this kind of thing happens but not to scare elderly people into thinking this happens alot

I hope they handle it sensitively as they seem to be doing

It can't be Nick - I thought he was dead!!! Or was it his son who was killed

it wasn't nick. We all would have seen him and why didn't the people in the square recognise him? It was someone we've never seen before

I dont think this person is going to be back in it...I think he was just an extra

Marc....it was Nick's son Ashley who was killed

Speaking of extras, (sorry to go off-topic here!) what is Tracey's purpose of being behind the bar at the Vic? She only ever nods her head or says "Yeah" to anyone in any episode she appears in. Why isn't she a part of the soap???

She also runs a flower stall

She's been in it donkey's years....she used to help behind the bar when Angie and Den ran it!!!

I guess she's not been made part of the soap cos they just never did...they just didnt see the point

Some extras get a few speaking lines and some just stand there and say nothing and look kind of blank...which makes me mad...

Big Ron was probably the best extra EE ever had. Plus he got a few lines also!

Tracey and Winston have been in the prog since 1986 but I cannot recall them speaking to each other.

Having said that they have had 17 years steady work without having to do a lot.

There are no similar characters in Coronationb St or Emmerdale

The actress playing Tracey is very lucky she has gotten paid for all those years and has hardly had to learn any lines. You may think it's bad for her not gettting paid the same as everyone else but she will get maybe £300 a day, every day even if she is not needed so it adds up to a huge amount. It also means that she is free to do other work sometimes as they only need her a tiny bit each day whereas all the other EE people need to ask at least a year in advance if they want to do panto.

Yeah I know she runs a flower stall!

I didn't know she's been in it that many years as I have only been watching EE for two years now! I never botherd with it before!

I really don't mean to argue, but somehow I don't think she would get £300 a day! Whats more, she only does a cameo in Eastenders every week or so! Wouldn't it be funny if she was in a pay dispute next with the EE managers?!

I've watched EE from the first episode...its probably why I am such a fervent defender of it


Re: Tracey...I doubt she would ever be in a pay dispute...seems a pretty easy job to me...I wouldnt mind it!

I doubt she would ever be in a pay dispute, too, the EE managers come-back would be "Well you only play a small part"! lol! I was just suggesting it for a laugh! U watching Corrie this evening, Simalo?

As an extra the equity minimum is something like £200/day and every day you asked for even if you are not needed then you are paid.

No, because what EE are trying to do, are raise the awareness to the elderly against bogus charity collectors.
