And now Kathy looks younger than her son.

[@albanianking6402]

Haha so true 😂

[@emperorpalpatine783]

Fine looking woman for her age

[@jakejames4005]

the joys of having the face thread lift 😎 she’s 68 but looks 50

[@ohwell94]

When I saw her and Cindy Beale together they looked more like sisters

[@Leeann-rz3ei]

​@@jakejames4005I thought she was about 70.

[@TheJessienotes]

When Pauline broke down crying in Pete’s arms that sets me off 😢

[@Leeann-rz3ei]

Dozey Pete.

[@secretsymphony]

No silly nonsense in those days. Just a down-to-earth reality that most of us face...

[@Seiferboi]

Seeing the fashion and hair styles are so nostalgic! I missed these episodes the first time around.

[@Kibouo]

0:27 looks a lot like when he told Peter about Lucy’s death

[@freddiemanuel6155]

This was the scene that made me an EastEnders fan. Ian (Adam Woodyatt) made me cry as he attempted to tell Pete about Lou's passing. I liked the show before and was drawn to it. Ever since THIS scene, I have been loyal fan. It's my absolute favorite. Oh yeah, I cried like a baby when Pat died too...Ijs.

[@Harveyc_Harveyc_]

[@BelJbraithwaite22]

[@gammergq9741]

Peter Dean was great in this storyline really held his own.

[@karlsmith4168]

I'm pretty new to EastEnders. I still can't wrap my head around that Kathy is Ian's mother. She's hardly aged a day!

I remember watching this way back! The only original characters left is Kathy and Ian Beale (Well Michelle Fowler but her character is written off).

[@icechoc]

What's Sharon? Chopped liver?

[@roxanneellis6776]

Remember watching this when it was first on still made me cry watching it now

[@BenKellyMusic92]

A window into grief, circa 1989

[@88rtd]

This I feel was the start of the disintegration of the fowlers shame that Lou didn’t stick around longer and that Pete was written out only 5 years later 1988 - Lou Dies 1992 - Arthur’s Affair 1993 - Pete Dies Pauline Discovers the affair 1995 - Michelle leaves 1996 - Arthur’s death 1997 - Connor and Mary 1999 - Marks divorce from Ruth 2002 - Martin Kills Jamie 2003 - Mark Leaves 2004 - Mark Dies 2004 - Sonia and Martin’s relationship 2006 - Pauline Dies
