Peggy vs Pauline cat fight! - EastEnders - BBC

[@mastermaestro]

Oh my good gracious what a line from Pauline! "And look what you produced: Two thugs and a slapper. You even drove your husband to drink!" Loved that! RIP Wendy x Eastenders has never been the same without you!

[@traceysmythe334]

Yea well she was dead right wat she said to peggy

[@richardsweden]

They totally messed up Pauline before she left - totally despicable for such a great actress.

[@woohooboy]

Pauline was always a miserable character but to have her written out of the series in such a depressing way was sad to watch. Alone, bitter and isolated from her family and friends. Poor cow.

[@shanefolan]

in her early years she wasn't miserable, I think it was really only Arthur died she went into a decline.

[@Vivid_Viking]

@@shanefolan yes......in the early years she was a laugh a minute.

[@Ironz89]

The actress wanted to leave she was sick in real life

[@philohara6681]

look what you produced 2 thugs and a slapper ! lmfao !

[@cmillward1119]

😂😂😂😂

[@hussainmartins5985]

Pauline had a talent for putting peggy in her place.

[@alexjones1985]

I'm not surprised Wendy Richard was upset with what they did to Pauline's character! One of Eastenders' biggest mistakes...!

[@richhall4939]

And getting rid of pat and she only wanted a break

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yeah I really hate what the writer's did with Pauline

[@scottyunitedboy2925]

@@angelaholmes8888 it was a complete trashing of her character- 10 years before, we had cheered on Pauline when she slapped Peggy after her treatment of Mark and banning him from the Vic. The tables completely reversed by this time and we were left with a Pauline who was virtually unrecognizable. The biggest mistake was probably trying to get her together with Joe despite the fact that both actors had very little chemistry together.

[@BenRai2k]

Pat, Pauline and Peggy were all great. Not bothered with the show for about 8 years now.

[@olie0561]

should kill of boring characters like Sonia and tina

[@Goldenrod636]

RIP Wendy Richard.

[@tijindersingh5635]

Being a big EE fan since day one. It was very sad seeing Pauline as such a lovely character to this bitter person.

[@jd49631]

They are showing old episodes on Drama Channel in the UK and they are up to 1988. Pauline is already quite bitter, even then, after her mother Lou died. She pretty much took over the role of Lou who was always a cantankerous old matriarch.

[@banjothedogslayer5800]

I was too young to watch EE back then but ive been watching the clips and WOW. What amazing actresses!

[@gezatherton1071]

Reportedly Wendy Richard herself was disgusted with the way the writers ruined Pauline as a character. She argued unsuccessfully that Pauline would never have remarried or behaved in this way, so Wendy decided not to renew her contract. So Pauline did not get the exit she deserved as a character, instead being turned into a bitter, lying old crone.

[@shanefolan]

That wasn't the only reason. She stated that she didn't like how the show had changed from its original premise and had lost its traditional values, she also said she had tired of how the media had criticised her ageing appearance as she had being through several bouts of cancer.

[@gezatherton1071]

Shane Folan No wonder she left! :O

[@shanefolan]

@@gezatherton1071 I think younger people don't realise is that Richards was actually seen as a pin up sex symbol in her days before EastEnders. Thus I can see why she didn't like the media criticising her appearance in her later years and why it would hurt more. It showed her too how cruel the media and society are to ageing especially on ageing women who once were attractive.

[@rabc2010]

I love the Pauline and Peggy fight scenes

[@DVDgal75]

So sad that Wendy & Barbara are both dead now 😢

[@thegeezerdan]

fantastic scene

[@kevinlongman007]

They totally ruined the character of Pauline just before they killed her off.

[@richmeisterg]

I agree! I have never forgiven EastEnders and the BBC for what they did to her character! Wendy Richard deserved better! They didn't even give her Julia's Theme at the end.

[@shanefolan]

richard's exit came at a time when the show was plagued with bad writing and yes I agree it was unforgivable what they did to Pauline in her final months.

[@kevinlongman007]

It was as if she became a totally different person it was a ridiculous way to write her out.

[@alexjones1985]

Agreed. What a waste of a good character (which she was, originally.)

[@chrisrowe7503]

I don't think so at all. They showed Pauline had mentally lost the plot before she died. They did the same with Den Watts before killing him off as well.

[@welshyrocksursox]

yeah you are so right! Wendy didnt deserve to have the character she played brilliantly for 20 odd years be torn to pieces by the writer. huge injustuce RIP Wendy

[@Nomoredrama2000]

Oh keep out of this ya nosy old cow! LOL

[@alexjones1985]

Nomoredrama2000 Pauline calls Peggy a nosy old cow, and Miranda Hart walks by. Miranda " Rude."

[@SummerBayJournal]

Alex Jones that made me laugh out loud

[@gracebay1]

It's in the U.S. but a few years behind. I watch it on public television. It comes on 11:00-12:00 Sunday nights. BBC America used to have it also.

[@jlsutton4819]

Back in the day when Eastenders was good x.

[@ronfarrell3033]

Nobody messes with least Mitchell

[@richmeisterg]

I agree that they turned the character of Pauline mean at the end. This was not the way that Wendy and the character of Pauline should have been treated. Granted Pauline might have been grumpy; but, she was never mean.

[@Nimmy..]

christmas looks better here than now in eastenders

[@ThePandaDiscoParty]

the extras had a field day with this scene

[@captainhero518]

Exactly. But regardless of what kind of character Pauline was, Wendy Richard played her beautifully.

Brilliant drama 😃😃😃😃

I forgot the writers did this to Pauline

"keep out of this you nosey old cow!" lolXD

[@chenlung1]

LOL a one-way slap? Riveting! I thought this was a big punch up, but more a cat-fight in words.

[@mikedavies4561]

great clip. Miss the old cast

[@RassilonsArmy]

They really ruined Pauline before she left - it was a HUGE mistake having her get married again, especially to Joe of all people. Then all of this stuff as well, they must've been really annoyed with her for deciding to leave.

[@kayleedick9300]

Brilliant drama x😃😃😃😃😃

poor peggy brought folk a drink & got slapped n called a nosy old cow

king of slaps There's gratitude for ya!

[@moistplinth930]

Jaysis Peggy is full on 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MissManxy]

@richmeisterg Your comment is the only one I agree with. Pauline was a grump, but never mean. She would die for any of her kids. Her true colors showed when she and Mark made up just before he left. I cried because she was such a good actress and made me feel a mother's pain. R.I.P. Wendy-I miss you.

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

This scene is probably Pauline at her worst. Absolutely despise this scene cus of the way she acts

[@matthieus2]

I actually agree. The character did seem to get ruined. I thought it seemed out of character for Pauline to turn her back on some of her family. Also I didn't think she'd ever re-marry after Arthur.

[@ellenkingsley]

Peggy and Pauline always fought over the whole Mark,Lisa and Louise drama

[@xhotgyalx1]

R.I.P wendy

[@scotty87able]

Now their both gone

[@scrabbler2717]

Pauline turned bitter towards the end.

[@jd49631]

Pauline was already bitter within 2-3 years of the shows run, after Den got Michelle pregnant, Mark ran away, Arthur went to prison and her mum Lou Beale died. But she became much, much worse as time went on until she ended up in this dreadful state!

[@burdlow]

Very unconvincing slap!

was this 2006

1:30 Over exaggerated gasp.

[@andyseabrookfitness8693]

Don't like what they turned d Pauline into

[@AlbieGray]

How things have changed. Peggy was standing up for Martin when his own mother was demolishing his stall! Back in the day when Pauline stood up for her family against Peggy and her lies, they were formidable; but now, seeing Pauline do away with the stall that had been in her family for years, was awful! Peggy, at that point, became the new matriarch of Albert Square!

[@Dinglescum]

Why did pauline have to turn nasty near the end

[@alexjones1985]

I think it would have been better to have her really have cancer, and then she could at least have been well remembered.

[@rick182z]

what a overaction to a slap!

Whats HIV and AIDS?!

If you're asking what happened...here's brief version. Mark her oldest son caught HIV. Pauline was talking about with someone Peggy overheard an went off and running with her mouth. Someone has uploaded onto youtube and you should be able to see it hope that helps.

[@alexjones1985]

Mark had HIV and developed complications from AIDS and that was what killed him. It's a sexually transmitted disease.

That's upsetting. Bless em both - obviously it was fiction. I hope they had a laugh after! xx
