The Old Crem 3,582 Posted January 4, 2020 Not a bad drop as still working but barely - limited appearances usually in scenes with a few others in so no long dialogue or heavy acting. And only on her house's set - hasn't been seen on any other set since last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,582 Posted January 17, 2020 Walked very briefly on screen at a pretty good speed last night but then seemingly planed to depart likely missing the 35th anniversary of Eastenders in a month., But story wise she is given an important need to return. But usually she departs for a break at the end of February not mid January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,582 Posted January 22, 2020 Seemingly left Eastenders last night. Dot Appeared in one scene then left a recording explaing she was moving to Ireland (with some speculation June didnt voice the recording). No press coverage through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having watched last night's episode I personally reckon that it was June's voice in the recording .BUT the fact she is offscreen for very long stretches and is pretty minimal the majority of the time her character is onscreen is not a good sign .Especially given June's previous statements about how important her work is too her and how she'd more or less like to work until she drops.

Watched the odd episode of Classic EastEnders on Drama or whatever it is called think they are showing episodes from 1992 and June/Dot seems ancient even back then despite been about 65 she could of passed as 15 years older, knocks about with Ethel who is 80 and looks and acts the same as she does. Dot/June has always been old she was the same in an episode of the Bill way back in 1984 were she plays an old woman who kills her Son who is abusing her, again could of passed as years older, who would of thought back in 1984 she would outlast the Bill that went on for another 26 years and still be going almost 40 years after the episode originally aired. June seems to have been born old but seems to go on forever, looks like a walking corpse but can’t imagine her ever not been around in EastEnders(though why she bothers with it now I don’t know), she is the type of person who you think will go on forever. With the amount of fags she smoked should of been dead years ago but wouldn’t be surprised if she lived to be 100. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
