Bibliogryphon 9,645 Posted November 9, 2022 So in 2022 we have lost three original cast members of Eastenders in Leonard Fenton, June Brown and Bill Treacher - who should be worried? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-original cast members including Anna Karen, who died in an awful way. Lynda Baron and Mona Hammond also left us this year. Daniella Westbrook - Chaotic lady who loves to flaunt her hospitalisations on Instagram. Her face looks like she's slowly transforming into a pug. Samantha Womack - Breast cancer. No one knows how serious the diagnosis is though. Tony Caunter - Played Roy Evans, lover of Pat. 85 now and god knows when he was last active in any capacity. Derek Martin - Retired and 90 in April. Been obese his whole life and he done very little since leaving Enders. Polly Perkins - Played Dot Cottons half sister Rose. Hasn't really done much since leaving the show either. Was apparently a close friend of June and is not rumoured to be returning for the character's funeral in the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,844 Posted November 9, 2022 Let's not forget that Harry Landis died in September. He was in the show for two years. Elizabeth Kelly stands out as likely to go next. She'll be 102 in March and is the oldest cast member now by a country mile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was apparently a close friend of June and is not rumoured to be returning for the character's funeral in the show. Samantha Womack has early stage breast cancer which was picked up by a mammogram. Derek Martin recently did a youtube and a part from having whiter hair looked and sounded really well and hadn't seemed to really aged since he left Eastenders. Danieela Westbrook is the best bet I would think out of the Eastenders names. Elizabeth Kelly and Arnold Yarrow had relatively minor roles.Even though Kelly was in the show 6 years she didn't have any memorable storylines. I think the Committee should be looking closer at names from Corrie and The Archers next year Corrie has Thelma Barlow who is now 93, Kenneth Cope who is 91 and has had COPD for donkeys years now and Malcolm Hebden who is 82 but has serious heart problems.Corrie also has more minor characters that are known for other things such as Doreen Mantle (96) and John Woodvine (93) who were involved in the serial killer John Stapes storyline.William Russell who played Rita Sullivans husband Ted is nearly 98 and reportedly has a failing memory. Then in the Archers you have Patricia Greene (91) , June Spencer (103) , Lesley Saeward (88) and Ysanne Churchman (97) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,365 Posted November 9, 2022 Also someone I think Utilizer pointed out they heard Brian Croucher (Ted Hills) was very ill in hospital a few weeks ago.Could be worth a shout on the Eastenders front 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the next few years, Sirs Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and Ben Kingsley (all of whom had minor Corrie roles between 1966 and 2005, Kingsley's being one of his first ever), as well as Bill Roache could see the list as well, as all of them easily pass the fame test. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not forgetting Dame Patricia Routledge and DL regular Prunella Scales who both had minor roles in the soap also. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, well tbf most commentators were saying the same thing on that one, and neither party did particularly well. Most commentators don't say "she's got a bit of a limp, must be the ole pancreatic cancer again". Don't compare me to his level of conspiracy theories! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathClock 379 Posted November 16, 2022 I've taken the loss of Mr. Bill Treacher very hard. I have been unable to get out of bed which has caused me to lose my job. I have only showered and brushed my teeth twice since his passing. Today, my wife left me and took the kids. Please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
