Poison Dwarf to return

[alan45]

EASTENDERS battleaxe Peggy Mitchell will NOT be killed off :crying: - because actress Barbara Windsor wants to return in two years' time.:rolleyes:
Babs announced last month she was quitting the show after 15 years :cheer: so she could spend more time with her husband Scott Mitchell.

The news delighted Alan who thought it would see Peggy killed off in the BBC1 soap.

But 72-year-old former Carry On star Barbara has no plans to give up Peggy for good.:crying:

Instead she plans to take two years off and then reprise the role in 2012.:crying:

A source close to the star said: "Barbara has such a fondness for Peggy that she genuinely wants to play her again.

"She doesn't want the character killed off. Producers understand that."

Wonderful

The source added that Barbara could return full-time, but was more likely to come back for "special storylines".

Barbara admitted when she quit the show that playing Peggy had been one of the best things in her long career.

She said: ""EastEnders has been wonderful to me. It changed my life. I'll be so sad to leave Peggy behind."

Peggy will leave as part of a major storyline - which could end at the same time as the show's 25th anniversary in February.

Yes, but will it be explosive?

You've got to admire her honesty. She knows she's not going to get the kind of money she is getting from EE and in two years time she'll be skint and needing the work. Unlike other ex soap stars who leave and say they won't go back within a few months without the income they're back at the door with their begging bowl. She's just placing her's in the queue. Anyway more importantly who are we going to pick on when's she's gone. :lol:

I know you don not like the poison dwarf. But this is a bit rude.
