      @@willowmadhuridixit8991 My bad! Thanks for reminding me. These folks were true survivors. I look at The UK Blue Collar Families and they were more "realistic" than the US Blue Collar Families. The most memorable if not longest running were The Coopers on Guiding Light 1987-2009 where Socrates and his Brother Stavros came to the US From Greece whose real last name was Kouperakis. They ran a Diner Wheels & Meals that was built from Scratch. Yet their 5th Street was like Sesame Street. They would have fit right in if they visited Walford. I look at what Viki, Mark, Ian & Sharon went through and it was much rougher than what the US Soap Kids went through.

I read that Anna Wing decided she wanted to leave and the producers were very against the idea and tried persuading her to stay on, which she declined.

    Another admirable thing is that The Beales & The Fowlers are still the heart & soul of the Show. Very smart move. When The Young & The Restless debuted in 1973 it focused on The Wealthy Brooks & The Blue Collar Fosters. Now it's about The Abbots and The Newmans.

    The crazy thing is that today is 2019, 21 years have passed since this episode, and all the characters from this scene who are still alive on-screen (Ian, Michelle, Kathy and Martin) are still in the series (although only Ian and Kathy are still played by same actors). Also, even though character of Lou died in 1988, long before Pauline, Anna Wing actually outlived Wendy Richard by four years.

    Lou was so ight on about Ian and Money. If this were a US Soap Anna Wing would have gotten an Emmy award. You couldn't have a US Matriarch talking to her Family like this. Not Alice Horton (Days Of Our Lives), Not Nancy Hughes (As The World Turns) and not Bert Bauer (Guiding Light) who are all dead but they didn't have to struggle the way Lou Beale did.
