I won’t lie... this was a very good introducti9n for an actor... no cocky bs, no lame walking, just calm and a very good composure.

[@hotnews3366]

She looks just as good 20 yrs later!

[@mrocto4839]

Telling a bit of fibs there

[@joey-xq3ei]

Nah, her skin has aged and her voice cracked. She didn’t have a flaw from 1998-2002.

[@pauljohnson6019]

RIP Melanie- exactly 21 years and a month later!

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

3:46 I think Louise Raymond was actually Cindy Beale in a wig, spying on Ian, trying to get her kids back!!!!!! I mean look at the facial similarity!!!!

[@VirtueEst05]

STEJTHEGREATEST I’ve always thought she looked like Cindy too.

[@kateemma2183]

I actually think Louise resembles Angie Watts a little

[@blobby915]

Honestly was just thinking that! She even sounds like Cindy!

[@circle2867]

@Leonard Ssenkindu same

[@TheWorstWarlock]

Jesus. She does, doesn't she?

[@jayradical3515]

RIP Mel 1998-2019

[@jamesquinn3715]

God Mel looks good

[@thomaswatson1995]

Who’s here after her death tonight?

[@kevinziadyer5354]

I

[@ornellanicole98]

Me

[@liamhughes6168]

Me

[@gquinn4159]

She was a really popular fun loving, level headed girl. But over the 20 years, life changed her into a very hurt, bitter, deranged woman. Life is a bitch.

[@analana591f]

Me

[@hypnotics7886]

This also reminds me what I very good producer Matthew Robinson was. He introduced a lot of very good characters during this time.

[@saif1980saif]

Mel was the hottest

[@williamfoy599]

Tanya Branning was better.

[@saif1980saif]

@@williamfoy599 yeah she had the curvy bits

[@كذا-ه7ظ]

And just like that she got a job imagine that today lol

[@charlottebruce979]

Her looks and youth helped. It was harder for the less beautiful. I remember getting jobs after one interview back in the 90's. Now at 43 good looks and youth dont exactly work.😁😆🤣

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Back when the EU's claws weren't as tightly dug into our collective hide.

[@gotgot9729]

I sometimes look at eastenders like real life so like..if Mel didn’t go into that shop she wouldn’t have been dead which is sad

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

6:57 Had to love the old days when people were considerate with their laughter, eh?????? Nowadays if people share a "private" joke, the whole room ends up knowing about it with the volume of the laughter.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Pauline-dead. Mark-dead. Pat-dead. Roy ( who I think was briefly seen) -dead. Barry-dead. Mel-dead.

[@georgia8592]

All dead boring 2

[@bighas96]

Dammit EastEnders

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

4:30 Feel sorry for Robbie. He fancied her, but he had no chance!!!!! I mean could you imagine her towering over him while they were out at the bar together?????!!!!! He'd have to be rich, and even then, a go-getter like Melanie couldn't be trusted!!!!!!

[@JohnSmith-sw6uv]

Who's here after Mel's death?

[@mrdealx]

Robbie and Barry had more chance of shitting in the queens handbag!

[@ellenkingsley]

I grew up watching Mel on EastEnders

[@JohnSmith-sw6uv]

What ever happened to that shop?

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

Shut after Ian went bankrupt. Got converted into a beauty salon

[@MrPerfect2000Z]

​@EastEndery Turned into a Bar didn't it?

[@nathanchristie8881]

Mel Owen first scene

[@lisacavannagh897]

Why the boy at the start look like an Older version of the current bobby

[@subhaan7861]

[@madandy2008]

[@maleehazaman6572]

[@JBC02]

[@aiai9571]

21 years later, Mel dies from a lorry

[@richsperry3575]

Why did they kill of Mel she’s my fav

[@Noah-gx6uo]

"buy something for a free drink in the vic tonight" soaps have no idea of how profit works.

[@emeldaify]

she has not aged well

[@emeldaify]

@Melanie D but it's true

[@emeldaify]

@Melanie D I know ,but that's my opinion.

[@slaterskat2581]

she looks so young omg

[@bighas96]

Yeah she was about 28 or 29 then

[@sofiagill4744]

Eastenders like mel

[@morganstoaks2225]

She was killed by a lorry. RIP Mel.

[@curiositypiqued6573]

supermarket sweep

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Hi Mel

[@version736ha2]

It's a shame the script writers couldn't have had Mel doing Barry up the jacksie with a strap on. Surely that would have been a ratings grabber?

[@melvoHD]

Lol

[@chadyepipia8383]

Yeah wasn't Barry still a Sleazy womanizer dodgy geezer in his early appearances or was he already a loveable clown of the square and a major character or not yet. What year did he turn comic relief clown bumbling fellow mate.

[@emeldaify]

I have got eyes in my head. The make up was over done for an old bird

[@karwan33]

That day I was an illegal immigrant in Calis France trying to get into UK 😂😂😂

[@bighas96]

Damn...

[@curiositypiqued6573]

It'll be her 21st anniversary in a couple weeks.... Pity she's leaving again🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@sofiagill4744]

[@anthony12861]

[@sofiagill4744]

[@sofiagill4744]
