[@lisaheisey6168]

Barbara Windsor had a lot more spunk and energy, in the part of Peggy Mitchell. But, I always thought, that this actress physically looked a lot more like she could really be Phil and Grant's mother.

[@blackmountains6645]

I agree. Much more believable in character too - aspiring middle class mother of two Jack-The-Lads, rather than a hammy, thinly diguised Violet Kray that they turned Peggy into (!)

[@OldManBill1]

Agree

[@SaintUncleStephen]

Erm... had a lot more What???

[@blackmountains6645]

@@SaintUncleStephen Honestly ....

[@razerow3391]

@@blackmountains6645 So she is middle class without an accent and they are so east end its untrue... so what? Her family lose all their money and end up living in shitty flats? Also I am sorry but what? You fucktarded morons need to go back to school and learn about recessive genes. Why the fuck would THE BOYS look like her given the Y chromosome... Are you bitches that fucking dumb? Sam looks more like Babs than this fucking fridge of a woman. Wow you guys are so fucktarded.

[@fingerscrossed2453]

Both were great actresses. The first Peggy laid the ground work. Babs took it to another level.

[@mikeykm1993]

Can’t imagine anyone other than Babs as Peggy, but Jo Warne did fine job in her short time too

[@EternalPayne]

In short Jo Warne played Peggy, Barbara Windsor WAS Peggy

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@@EternalPayne i don't remember the first actress as Peggy. Everyone remembers Barbara as Peggy. GET OUTTA MY PUB as she would say

[@paulramsay1481]

To be fair she looks more like phil than barbara windsor did . 😄

[@ashleyalexander2847]

barbara took the peggy character and made it her own. this is a perfect example of a great character change. just like the last 2 ben mitchell's, ben & paul. ben & callum both great bens

[@Birmingham_racing]

The newer Peggy got much more character

[@Wikcan]

She had been in the show for much longer

[@DemarD__D]

She was in the show for over 20 years tbf

[@lefez9015]

She was only in the show for 17 episodes. 17 episodes isn't anything on a soap.

[@Xavier-hc6qs]

There is no doubt that Barbara Windsor played Peggy Mitchell immensely better than this actress however, this actress is more physically similar to Phil

[@razerow3391]

But not Sam who has XX chromosomes. Whilst Grant and Phil will carry genes from the Y chromosome, meaning Eric. Proof that the average Eastenders fan is so fucktarded it's not even funny.

[@gaysy1st]

She'd have probably done a better job over time.

[@generalkenobi308]

Barbra windsor was way better at playing the character

[@startracker5895]

Imagine Sharons reaction if her precious Denny joined the army! She’d react worse than Peggy did.

[@darrensmith8730]

Denny ain't joining nothing, now...

[@H.K.5]

Sharon raised him to be soft, he needed a father figure like Phil in his life.

[@97channel]

Just goes to show what a difference a bubbly wig and a little makeup can do.

[@jcrossan1351]

Lmao

[@alexiasummer7475]

Barbara Windsor portrayed this character a lot better than this lady because she was on the fringe of the East End word she knew the type of people she was portraying

[@kieranmoss1501]

Sorry but Barbara Windsor took the lead in the role.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

No need to even be ‘sorry.’ This woman was terrible.

[@gyobfan22]

@@Anonymous_Anon882 At least she wasn't a Violet Kray rip off that bitchy Babara Windsor played.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

I’m glad Barbara Windsor made Peggy hers after re-watching these scenes (no disrespect to the original actress). The original-original actress who came before Warne didn’t even get past the fourth recital line before they booted her out.

[@startracker5895]

She was the nice grandma in Friday night Dinner!

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

@@startracker5895 she was but a befitting Peggy Mitchell she was not. God rest her soul, obviously.

Kingfisher treasure Seekers pops. Eastenders sharon and phil love John xxxx

[@gaysy1st]

Apart from Phil, Sam looked a lot like her too.

[@danguchi91]

EastEnders Storylines, I would like to see when Ricky Butcher gets attacked by Sarah Hills and she runs away from home from March 1997.

John Hughes

[@underneonloneliness2]

The first Peggy was a bit of a flop. She doesn't even look like a Peggy.

[@SaintUncleStephen]

Who the hell is that

[@charliebates7177]

Wow this woman is nothing like the actual Peggy and has no chemistry with Phil.

[@danguchi91]

EastEnders Storylines, do you accept requests for classic episodes of EastEnders.

[@eastendersstorylines7822]

Hi, I do accept requests although I prefer if people ask for clips rather than full episodes as they can take a while to upload, but that being said I would be happy to upload the odd classic episode here and there if there's anything you particularly want to see :) I'm quite busy at the moment but let me know if there's anything specific you'd like- cheers!

[@danguchi91]

EastEnders Storylines, I would like you to upload the odd classic episode of EastEnders and it's 20th March 1997.

[@eastendersstorylines7822]

Okay, although I cannot upload the full episode as part of it is on the official EE youtube and if I uploaded that part too then my video would be blocked because of copy right, so I'll just upload the scenes where Sarah attacks Ricky and then runs away

[@kailewis6520]

Why don’t you uploaded it yourself I’m so sick of these sad people requesting episodes

[@gyobfan22]

@@kailewis6520 If they had the episode to upload then they wouldn't ask, isn't that obvious? There are so many episodes of different shows that can't be found anywhere so of course people will ask.

[@subhaan7861]

Hi there do you have any episodes from 2004

[@eastendersstorylines7822]

Not at the moment I'm afraid

[@subhaan7861]

EastEnders Storylines ok thanks for your reply and would let me know if you buying that year soon please

[@eastendersstorylines7822]

If I get it then I'll let you know :)

[@ZPM18]

She sounds like Pat Butcher’s sister
