very sad news always used to brighten up eastenders when it was all doom and gloom , she was also involved in possibly one of the most upsetting moments of eastenders when she asked dot to give her a overdose

Yes she was really good in Eastenders, and was suprrised she was 94.

I am surprised also that not many have posted on her passing away.

I thought she was dead even when she 'appeared' in Miseryenders.

Oh well, roll out the red carpet, chance for a funeral on that slab of garbage and no doubt, as I keep reminding you 'drinks on the aaaasss'.

Joking aside, RIP Gretchen.
