I dont think you can really say that she's talentless, I mean she had decades of acting experience behind her, and played a lot of different roles. But moving on from Eastenders is the right thing to do, cos feel that she's had enough storylines.

What talent does it take to play the dumb blonde in Carry On Films who has a dirty laugh and always loses her bra
The only time when she had to act was when she allegedly perjured herself to keep her lover Ronnie Knight out of jail

Stars collide: Barbara Windsor and Jessie Wallace in Eastenders
Carry On star Barbara Windsor, who last month left EastEnders after 16 years as Peggy Mitchell, is to reveal she had a blazing row with co-star Jessie Wallace.
Barbara, 73, tells Piers Morgan on his ITV series Life Stories that she lost her temper because 39-year-old Jessie, who plays Kat Moon, kept her waiting.
‘Jessie Wallace was the first time I erupted. She was late, she was young. She’s not like that any more. I lost my temper,’ says Barbara in the show to be shown on Saturday.
‘It was silly and I burst into tears and ran up to the producer. I said I had been terrible and amateur.’
She says they have since made friends. ‘We liked each other a lot and she is such a good actress. But I told her not to be like that and arrive at the last minute. It was unprofessional.’
Barbara also reveals she has become teetotal to help her husband Scott Mitchell. ‘He had a terrible alcohol problem and I used to drink to try to match him,’ she says. ‘Scott has been eight years clean now and I have not drunk either.’
The actress discusses her love affairs, which included a fling with Bee Gee Maurice Gibb and an affair with late Manchester United footballer George Best, whom she describes as ‘beautiful’.
She also admits sleeping with notorious East End gangster Reggie Kray in the Sixties after having ‘too much to drink’.
Barbara has had four abortions and has previously said she never wanted children. But in this latest interview she admits: ‘I think I would have made a good mother. I would have been very strict.’

EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has revealed the reasoning behind the decision not to kill off Walford legend Peggy Mitchell.
Last month, viewers saw Peggy bow out of Albert Square after she decided that her beloved family needed some independence at last.
In the lead-up to Barbara Windsor's departure from the role, rumours had suggested that Peggy would die in the Queen Vic fire, which was screened on the same week as her final scenes.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Kirkwood commented: "I was told just as I accepted the job that Barbara Windsor had decided to leave. That was bittersweet news to receive, so my first main decisions were about how Peggy would go, and who would take over the pub afterwards."
He continued: "We all discussed the idea of Peggy dying, but every time we talked about it, we were left with a bad taste in our mouths! It just didn't feel right at all. Barbara brings a unique flavour to what she does, and I think there's a real kind of investment in her as an actress.
"We wanted her to leave in a poignant and emotionally truthful fashion - and I wanted Peggy to be able to leave Albert Square with dignity."
