maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted December 26, 2006 Saw Ms Wing is gathering support on DLs next year. Aside from her being 92 is there any up to date news on her health worth taking on board at this late stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Whoopass 0 Posted December 26, 2006 Saw Ms Wing is gathering support on DLs next year. Aside from her being 92 is there any up to date news on her health worth taking on board at this late stage? Perhaps the shock of seeing her on-screen daughter cark it will see her off.

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 27, 2006 It would be nice if she could die on or before the 31st. She has been removed from my 2007 team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathcorner 1 Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) I think that Anna Wing who played Eastenders' matriarch Lou Beale from 1985 to 1988 is a definate possibility for 2007. I read recently that she's not been very well and on October 30th 2007 she reaches the grand old age of 93. True, she's a spring chicken when compared to the likes of Brooke Astor, but a definite possiblity in my book.

Grim_Rita 4 Posted September 12, 2007 She was on Loose Women this afternoon, very entertaining and lucid. The old birds got a couple of years left in her for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted September 12, 2007 She's also on The Bill tonight on ITV1, between 8-9pm, so if anyone doesn't want to watch the football OR if the football gets too horrible to watch (quite possible) a bit of Wing-watching might be in order.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 1, 2010 It's nice to see Anna Wing return on the list, after all these years. She seems to be our female Clive Dunn. If I understand her Wikipedia entry correctly[1], there's little reason to expect her demise soon, though. Ok, she'll turn 96 this year and she got an MBE last year, which has a bit of the kiss of death nature, but she seems in good health otherwise. [1] and if we are to trust that online encyclopedia, of course. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garn2 34 Posted March 15, 2010 Looking at the IP who added it, I'm pretty sure it's just vandalism. He just edited 'Leon Jackson of off X Factor''s page to say he'd died, so, unless he's right on both accounts, it's just made up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
