'I Don't Want My Daughter Married To A Dipstick' (9th July 1991)

Poor Ricky and Sam have returned home to face the music....

Barbra windsor is very much needed here

[@chrisrowe7503]

The Butchers and The Mitchells. Two families who always had a funny link 😂😂

[@chokesmc]

To think Frank ended up married to Peggy

[@NubianPrince85]

Eastenders irony

[@charlottebruce979]

Yes but he wouldn't have married her if she had stayed looking like this, frank liked the flashy brassy blonde look not the dowdy frumpy look.

[@danw1374]

Mike reid was superb.

[@beverlygannon4141]

He was. Loves him in this he was so funny.

[@30Something90sChild]

I find it quite easy to imagine Barbara Windsor in this scene. Jo played Peggy with same toughness that Barbara would later adopt.

[@trevorthompson7604]

Mike Reid brilliant actor

Looking at Daniella Westbrook here you can really see how much damage all the drugs have done to her.

[@NubianPrince85]

yes..pretty gurl bk in the day

[@craig581]

Yeah, she was flawlessly pretty.

[@BerghemDeSura]

@@craig581 Pretty? Have a day off lol.

[@gingerjoe1972]

She was no 10/10 stunner but naturally pretty, what a shame drugs took its toll.

[@joey-xq3ei]

It’s mad that she’s been on drugs for most of her life which means we never got to see a sober Danniella on screen. She was always stoned.

[@jameliakingstom1190]

I forgot about this Peggy

[@adamkrueger2741]

The original Peggy actually looked like Sam

[@kailewis6520]

No she didn’t wtf 😂

[@joey-xq3ei]

Kim Medcalf looks more believable as Barbara Windsor’s daughter.

[@StormStar626]

Not going lie for every line “Peggy” says here, Im picturing the line again with Barbara Windsor, it would have been amazing! Especially considering what future she Frank and Pat would go on to have!

[@craig581]

Frank would go on to marry Peggy.

[@leonardssenkindu5802]

The old Peggy

[@nifty2026]

Lol the original Peggy Mitchell

[@jayradical3515]

It was a different Peggy Mitchell

[@kaysmith8992]

1. Funny to think Frank was talking to his future wife. 2. Much as Barbara Windsor was a legend, I'm really liking this early version of Peggy.

[@darwenrover8910]

Pat hasn't got her earrings on.

[@pippajones4500]

Daniella Westbrook is so young here

[@katiemilligan5706]

Pippa Jones Phil was sexy back then

[@shanefolan]

but even look at her eyes back them , she looks glazed,exhausted like, as in drug eyes.

[@Dave-rm1mb]

Shane Folan According to some of the people who knew her back then, she was given coke at a young age (young as in 15/16) by fairly prominent people within the industry. There's a whole can of worms to be opened there

[@sumbodysmiracle0326]

@@shanefolan she said in a recent interview she started to get heavy onto drugs here. Thin and worn out

[@shanefolan]

@@sumbodysmiracle0326 yea when she comes back in 1995 she looked well tired,it just shows in her eyes,dead in her head.

Barbara Windsor is better as Peggy

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Peggy looks different LOL

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

Very rude calling Ricky a dipstick

[@markeedeep]

There was no taboo calling someone thick when they acted like it then. You're probably too young to remember?

Well he was a mehanic!😅😅

Peggy ain't no Barbara Windsor

[@lloyddenvermckay1410]

The first Peggy Mitchell, originally played by Jo Warne. And the first Sam Mitchell, originally played by Danniella Westbrook.

and both were recast for the better.

That version of peggy mitchell is really good acting

[@mariahoness9410]

I reckon Diana Dors would ended up playing peggy

[@chrishoy77]

Yes. I have always thought that about Diana Dors being in EastEnders if she had not died, and that Peggy was perhaps the character for her

[@leonardssenkindu5802]

maria honess I wish Diana does stayed alive to watch eastenders, she last away when I baby, she would have been good in eastenders

[@adyshowers7970]

Wait that was Peggy? Just curious how come they changed actresses?

[@scottyunitedboy2925]

yes, that was the original Peggy as played by Jo Warne, she was only in it for a few episodes. By late 1994, Barbara Windsor took over the role to help improve ratings. Jo Warne later went on to play Julie Corrigan’s mum in Grange Hill.

[@joey-xq3ei]

Peggy shrunk about a foot, and died her hair blonde and changed her accent…just…because.

Joey 15811 didn't know Peggy was played by another actress 😳 missed a few years now and again. Just started to watch again now after a five year break . So many of the good old characters are missing 😭

Peggy was never intended to be a regular until the fallout of Sharongate.
