[@colinwharton]

Gary and Dawn need to make a comeback its been a long time since they were last seen

[@H.K.5]

A good comeback for Dawn would be if she came back with Phil’s illegitimate child and Phil got Dawn pregnant during their affair in 2009.

[@Kingofthekop1]

They’re obviously divorced

[@sashaking1111]

‘Garry! Garry, stop the boat!’ ‘I don’t know how to’ Lol😂😂😂😂😂

[@yungaterror]

dawn is sooooooooooo pretty wow

[@quanishalewis8776]

Awhh Darren and Dawns goodbye that was soooo cute and then Minty at the end awh super cute

[@colinwharton]

Cant belive 2009 was there last appeance

[@hotrodd29]

When Dawn shouts to Garry "So what! if you've got a Paunch, and your losing your hair!" I find that an odd thing to say as she was sleeping with Phil Mitchell who has less hair and more Paunch. It was not long after this episode I stopped watching this show which was heading downhill fast.

So beautiful amazing she was

[@Foralluhaterz]

Would be nice if they returned

[@AK.1988]

Aww poor Minty at the end.

[@Migman2020]

This is why i liked dawns character.. she loves people for the right reasons and not some shallow "oh he looks good" reasons..

[@bilboswaggins7596]

gary was fucking pathetic tho

[@H.K.5]

It’s unrealistic, a woman like Dawn wouldn’t settle for an unattractive man. Sounds harsh but that’s the truth.

[@brettpilkington9539]

Yeah loves them and bangs her boss whilst he's downstairs, true love.

[@brettpilkington9539]

Yeah loves them and bangs her boss whilst he's downstairs, true love.

[@erosion271]

Yeh likes them for good reasons then cheats on them real great woman 😂

[@LilGLJ]

She can run in heels boi ! Even I couldnt do that -_-

[@erosion271]

How dawn got a happy ending after her one character trait was ‘cheating slag’ I’ll never know

[@theeastendboy]

They need to make a comeback big time

[@markpieexplores]

TheEastEndBoy no because this is pretty much the only happy ending ever and if they come back they’ll have affairs or die.

[@onthelevel13]

minicolster Fair point

[@bp6329]

no they would not

[@Unknown-ll1ee]

I miss the Hev and Shirley duo

[@goodnightmyprince6734]

Yeah. Shirley is so lost without Heather. I'll never forgive Ben for killing her.

[@BelJbraithwaite22]

@@goodnightmyprince6734 Ben was so flaming stupid killing Heather but let's just say he definitely regret it now and deep down Ben really did like Heather

[@youngprince2780]

I am gonna miss dawn

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

That's a crazy exit for 2 main characters.

[@JD-fg2dz]

This is Enfield Lock/Enfield Island Village!!!!!!

[@matthieus2]

Lol. I thought it was a terrible ending for them! Even the actors thought so. I remember Kara Tointon (Dawn) ridiculing it in an interview. I like that they had a Julia's Theme ending as well, given Garry had been in EE for about 10 years.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Where are they going?

[@H.K.5]

@@TaxingIsThieving Your mum’s house.

[@lefez9015]

​@@H.K.5 That's out of character for you.

[@monalisasmile6629]

I remember Dawn start sleeping with Phil - nauseating! 😩

[@david.l8698]

@Invisible Emo he's got a massive slong though

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

They tarnished her character. They must have really disliked her on set.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

​@@david.l8698 It's short and stumpy like yours

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Really wholesome!😊

[@lamarr912]

Americans have to wait 3 years for this episode.

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

Here in Florida, it's 10 years. Actually lucky to get it on PBS once a week. Today was the Christmas episode of 2007, when Stacy and Max affair was exposed!!

[@aniles1989]

must say this was without a doubt weirdest ending ever written by the writers' daughters or something, they must have snuck into the offices and switched it up,this ending is way too Disneyfied.

[@jaymarlon7460]

Hope dawn comes back to walford

[@H.K.5]

Would’ve been good if Gary threw her off the boat, causing her to drown.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

😂

[@H.K.5]

@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Would’ve served her right for cheating on him.

[@allylou5151]

Like that film Titanic 😭😭😭😭 Shirley cracks me up

[@tomgaydar]

Im love dawn is beautiful bride dress

[@yungaterror]

how far is the boat going to take him ? loooooooooooool

[@melissaclark1051]

Only Shirley left

[@jasiekel86]

Aw poor Hev never got her happy ending :(

[@saifhasan4481]

Man dawn is so so hot, bloody hell. So fit. Great ending

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

But I wanna stay here and then the music it made me cry

[@brunodacruz5402]

I hope she returns

[@danieladams4561]

Gary was punching.

[@Fondrom]

She went with no clothes or bras or tampons or face cream.. how the hell will she live?!!??

[@PsionicDiamond]

She’s far from rich her & her family were broke asf

[@goodman9500]

i moved to this island the day they were filming, i live in ostell crescent

[@allylou5151]

Blessssssss 😍

[@don786h]

poor minty

[@donalbrennan4796]

Taken from Garry and Dawn's last-ever appearance on EastEnders.

[@ukunboxings2242]

Kara Tointon (Dawn) is so hot a natural beauty. Her sister is gorgeous as well.

[@martindonaldson]

Am sure they'll use Julia's theme for when Peggy leaves next year.

[@jasiekel86]

love Shirley she looks so different here

[@joey-xq3ei]

Why doesn’t Garry come back and give things a go with Jean

[@xxxEastendersFanxx]

heath you cant swim!

[@TheLondonForever00]

The 3 best characters right there in Minty, Garry and Dawn. Shitty writing and got rid of great characters everyone enjoyed watching. Stopped watching not long after.

[@emmanemandji2088]

Mismatch mega

[@cochesethemagnificent9537]

Did they live on that boat?

[@colinpeppiatt8153]

Filmed at Enfield Lock

[@leahsimmons3107]

Bye bye dawn i remember u u left when i was 4

[@Fondrom]

2:55 notice how dawn puts her hand on the wrong side of darrens chest, his heart is on the left side & she put her hand on the right side

[@karatebuff]

This is a proper end all be it i don't think this would happen in real life nice for Gary though after all the trials and tribulations he's been through with dawn.

[@xxxEastendersFanxx]

@FrancisIdents Come on lets go back to the car

[@nathanchristie8881]

Goodbye Dawn & Garry

[@jerseypooh4664]

I vaguely recall these two getting axed from Eastenders. Big shame. Always killing off or getting of good characters. Shame.

[@hannahwillmott641]

that boat is small

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Why did the boat cut out

[@tekoopgmail]

What does Minty say at the end?

[@TheLondonForever00]

Martin vdz love you Gal

[@bp6329]

he said do not come back!

[@rorymckernan8502]

"Love you Gal'

[@pjsmith2744]

Where in the blue fuck are they going to live!? To make matters worse they’ve got a child with them!!! No way social services would accept this!!!

Kara Tointon will be returning to eastenders around 1st of Feb 2017 to see Phil and she will be bringing Summer with her it also has been mentioned in interviews and soap awards so brace yourselves because ive heard its going to be really good return for a really good reason who knows maybe shes coming back with a massive secret

[@NightTilDawn]

Its 2018 and she hasn't appeared so that was a lie

[@RandomPeter94]

@hassan230786 come on! she isnt that bad at all! yes, she isnt the best actress but certainately not the worst.

[@cherrysweetie95]

this wasnt even a sad ending durno y they used julias theme

[@miabrucefan]

Julia’s theme isn’t always used for sad scenes. In fact in the 80s they would use it in a lot of happy scenes!

[@startracker5895]

It was sad for Minty! Lost his best mate.
