Maybe they both had it done at the same time, because look at Michelle now! (Yes, I know she's a different actress, but for the story's purposes, it'd fit!)
Terrible what they did to Pauline in the last few months. The Pauline that lied to Martin about having a brain tumour is like a completely different character compared to the one who was sticking by Mark when Peggy banned him from the Vic for having ‘AIDS’, or the one who confronted Dirty Den for getting her 16 year old daughter pregnant.
I can see it, her being so desperate not to be alone she starts coming up with demented things to guilt and manipulate. Not a proud thing, but people do desperate things when backed into a corner. Just like her marrying that fool because she thought he could be a replacement Arthur. Its sad, because it's not so much butchering a character, but tormenting one who's had a hard life until they start getting cold and twisted. You know Pauline is a character, but it feels like an almost abusive relationship between Pauline and the writers, until she breaks.

It feels like they planned this death for years, an iconic character dying on Christmas Day in the middle of the Square as it was snowing. So when Wendy Richards decided to leave, only Pauline Fowler, the matriarch of the original central family of the show could pull it off.
Rest in peace Wendy Richards you were great in your appearances on dad's army, your role in every episode of are you being served and are you being served again, and in eastenders. You left the earthly plain too soon.
I think Eastenders does a great job with scenes like this, yep it's depressing but it makes you value family members more. I'd literally fall to pieces if any of my parents died, or my siblings, same with my niece,nephew and grandparents their my world. Family first
It's true she did die of cancer, but she quit the show because she hated the idea of Pauline marrying again. She felt Pauline should always be married to Arthur Fowler.
i actually remember reading an interview with richards after her exit and she also said she regretted not leaving the show years earlier as she did not like how the show had lost its traditional values over the years and she criticised how it had all gone in a different direction from its original premise.
Jun2021: I literally just found out Pauline is dead....WTF! I used to watch Eastenders religiously. Then I stopped I thought it was only a few years ago Seems I stopped watching at least 15years ago. How times pass.
Matt Mosley yea they always do that in all soaps no one calls for nothing they don't do any thing that just hug them sob and rock and pace their dead body slowly and sadly well done well done SOAP PRODUCERS👏👏👏👏
@@loobyloo-fy4pn that's... not how it works. You do anything to save them given that tiny bit of hope - first and foremost, you check for signs of breathing and you call emergency services.
It's Betty my heart goes out to! Poor old Pauline. She was lovely in the early days of the show. To die, alone and friendless like that, is pretty hard to watch.
@@scottyunitedboy2925 The producers in my opinion really trashed Pauline's character in her later years particularly towards the end, no wonder Wendy Richards wanted out
Has anyone notices Pauline hits Arthur in the head he dies of a brain hameorage and joe hits Pauline giving her a brain hameorage.Well they do say what comes around goes around
You know what's really sad, is that Wendy Richard, the actress who played Pauline was re-diagnosed with Cancer not to long ago and the prognosis isn't very good.
Had Sylvie listening to the same song at the beginning of an episode last week. 'You don't have to say you love me' by Dusty Springfield and I think, like with Pauline, it'll be played at Sylvie's funeral.😥
Touche on the player! We can't even see interviews on the EastEnders website. In the Minneapolis/St. Paul market we are over 6.5 years behind (March of 2003 at the present time)
BBC America stopped showing EastEnders more than 2 years ago, and our local PBS channel also stopped. I really, really miss the show. I wrote the BBC asking them to resume US broadcasts, and they wrote back about some pay-per-view option via Dish Network. Which I can't afford. I really miss The Square!
she had a fight with her husband joe sand he hit her on the head leading to a brain haemorrhage. Ironically Arthur died in almost identical circumstances ten years before this.
I mean, she was absolutely unbearable toward the end and I wasn't sad to see Pauline go, but they did Wendy dirty by giving her the duff duffs and not that slow sad piano music everyone else gets when they leave.
In my opinion, Den's death at the hands of Chrissie was even worse because he like Pauline was one of the best characters in the show, I wanted him to live on to even encounter Grant Mitchell (as well as Phil) and later die (either of a fatal injury or an illness) perhaps with Dennis or Sharon at his side, his death just seemed lame to me when his head was smashed by Chrissie.
Aw when was this? I haven't seen EE since the late 90s on my local PBS channel, aslthough I remember reading about Sonia & Martin, I think. I still remember when Sonia was younger and they showed her busking with her trumpet on a corner and her step-dad Alan Jackson caught her and gave her what for. lol!
I don't remember the year, yet I can remember when Arthur died. It is funny that Pauline died from an Intercerebral Hameorage, the same way her husband died on May 20th 1996
I Think Sonia is Jealous of Clare Bates When They're Having School Play When She Wants Get Trumpet See Clare in School Stage She Doing Solo With Trumpet Sonia Wants Solo She Begs Her Mum Carol Give Her She Refused She Give Her Trumpet She Have No Money Left For Her Sonia Corned Her Stepdad Alan Give Her Trumpet Alan He Tell Her Why She Wants For She Want Copy Clare Get Trumpet
I always did wonder until tonight (October 25, 2016) what happened to Betty (the dog) after Pauline died. Martin told Stacey that Rebecca had looked after Betty until she died.
It says alot about british culture that every year we all gather round the telly to watch fictional peoples lives get ruined on xmas day. Ironic really!
Pauline had a bit of Lou Beale in her when she keeled over. Lou spent her life on the chair and in her bed, grouching over, having senior fits, and of course when Pauline died in the snow she transformed into Lou straightaway. Cold, icy and just plain sore
I Love Eastenders, though I admit it has got crap lately. I LOVE The Beatles, so I was literally just paying more attention to Paul McCartney's song and singing along to it in the Background.
DoctorWho 101 Oh I was lol couldn't stop singing along haha I'm like that all the time because I can easily recognise when a Beatles song or a solo Beatles song comes on like the time I was in a very busy shopping centre and the music was playing faintly and I instantly recognised that the Beatles was playing 😂

Martin must be a brilliant doctor to diagnose her condition as dead just by calling her name a few times!
I mean she's on the ground not breathing, eyes open. Doesn't take a doctor to know that normally means dead.
Sonar
He probs felt her and she had no pulse
It's his superpower. Apparently he's going to be in the DCU now.
Love how the dog never left her side and just laid next to her
"mum are you alright". no shes fine clearly
Keiran Counsell That's why she's lying facedown in the snow!
Gaming 1776 I can't remember exactly, but I think it was before Joe arrived, and she'd gone to see Michelle in America, and came back with short hair.
Maybe they both had it done at the same time, because look at Michelle now! (Yes, I know she's a different actress, but for the story's purposes, it'd fit!)

Yeah Martin she's just snow bathing, carry on with your fun
Such a shame what they did to Pauline towards the end. She became so horrible it was hard to sympathise with her unfortunately.
i'd laugh if she just went at the last minute "BOO" i got you !!!!
I lost it when dot started shouting. I couldnt help it 😂
Same, MAAAAAARRRRTTTIIINNNN!!!!!! 😂😂😂

A heartbreaking end to such an iconic character. It’s even more heartbreaking knowing that Wendy Richard would pass just a few years later.
Whos Wendy Richie?
@@LCFCV9 The actress that played Pauline.
I love the way Martin pronounce s Pauline dead without even checking for a pulse and that nobody call s an ambulance.
Rest in peace Wendy Richards you were great in your appearances on dad's army, your role in every episode of are you being served and are you being served again, and in eastenders. You left the earthly plain too soon.

Shut your mouth you silly old godless bitch. When they die holding your hand you'll think again, and no pseudo-Cockney trash will change that.
RIP to June Brown, Wendy Richard and John Bardon
RIP Wendy, you made us laugh in Are You Being Served and gave us all the other emotions as Pauline, we will miss you!! RAY xxx
Max looks like a very tall baby in this, with his little tuft of hair!
😂 He was already 37 here tho
I thought he looked like Sloth from the goonies, seeing his head from behind.
Always looked like the washing up liquid baby.
He looks like a baked bean!
He was in only fools and horses
Thank You again!!! So sad when Pauline died and all alone except for her faithful cairn Betty. Pauline Fowler's missed!!!
This was the first ever episode of Eastenders I saw.
Same here, I was 6, and my parents were flicking though the channels, and we saw the bit where she collapsed. Technically the first episode I saw!

To keep it simple, She pulled an Arthur on us then finally went to join him.

No checking for a pulse, no calling for an ambulance or even help from those around, just "She's dead" without even nudging her. #Bollocks.

Not accurate. He got hit in jail. Pauline did hit him with a frying pan...but that was 1993
Pauline didnt kill Arthur it wasnt thst that gave him a brain hameorage
That’s not what happened

This still hirts me so much
is that part of the square where heart attacks happened Derek died there and David wicks also had a a heart attack there too
2000s and early 2010s Eastenders was the best
RIP Pauline Fowler/Wendy Richard. She was a remarkable actress.
I like the way she lands on the dog on the way down
Can't believe they never used the Julia's theme for her death
this is so hertbreaking :( one of eastenders iconic characters dying :( I was scared at first I thought pauline fell on her dog!
It's been 10 years and still no Pauline... I miss Her... :(
I know. And shut up already.
im stupid Lol rude much?
I miss my EastEnders so much!!
Happiest day of my life...
rip wendy richards u will always be rememberd
you are about 3 years behind as far as i recall
R.I.P Wendy! We all miss you!
Does anyone have a video of Pauline listening to her record player not long before she dies? That was actually quite a nice moment.
ColumbiaTerrace84 I think that was part of her deciding to put things right with everyone.
Had Sylvie listening to the same song at the beginning of an episode last week. 'You don't have to say you love me' by Dusty Springfield and I think, like with Pauline, it'll be played at Sylvie's funeral.😥
Didn’t even check her pulse or nothing! 😂🤦🏻♂️
Martin “Mum? Mum? Mum!” Looks up “She’s dead!”
Sonia ( thinks) ‘Heck- that’ll be that massive slap on the head I gave her a few episodes ago.’
Touche on the player! We can't even see interviews on the EastEnders website. In the Minneapolis/St. Paul market we are over 6.5 years behind (March of 2003 at the present time)

Never even heard of this show. Wendy Richards is always going to be Miss Brahms from Are You Being Served? and Are you Being Served? Again!
I am from Indianapolis. I've heard the term but not the show.

All of the other ones?
And nobody bothered to call an ambulance
god job marting for checking her pulse!!!!!

Sad loss to eastenders!!
What year??
You CARED enough to reply, duuuuhhh
I actually think her death on the show suited her character well, a sad and lonely woman really.
