Without Wendy Richard! The show won't be the same!
30 May 2001
The show East Enders is running out of Fowlers. After reading Wendy Richard's interview in the Sun yesterday, I was shocked that the heart and soul of this show is being let go by the end of the year. If the writers at the show are smart, they won't kill her off but send her to America or New Zealand. Believe it or not, Wendy Richard was the reason that I watched this show back home. I know she left to do the series, Grace & Favour, and came back. She has battled breast cancer twice and is in remission. They complain about the lines on her face. Come on that's not why the audience watches in the first place, the show without Pauline Fowler will be like Coronation Street without Violet Carson or Doris Speed. Richard's contribution to EastEnders has been tremendous. After only 21 years, she and co-star Adam Woodyatt who plays her nephew Ian Beale are left minding the store. But the show has changed even the last time I saw it around New Years, half the cast has either left or been replaced. I see Pat played by Pam St. Clement, Dot played by June BRown, but I haven't seen the wonderful Barbara Windsor who plays Peggy Mitchell. The show without its matriarchs like Richard, Windsor, Brown, and St. Clement, will never be the same without Richard. Bring Wendy back, we miss her already.
