EastEnders ‘gave away’ Anita Dobson’s surprise return after 37 years – did you spot huge clue in episode?
EASTENDERS ‘gave away’ show legend Anita Dobson’s surprise return – but did you spot the clue?
In Wednesday’s special one-hour episode, Anita reprised her iconic role as Angie Watts for the first time in 37 years.
She appeared to daughter Sharon (Letitia Dean), who lay trapped following the Queen Vic’s explosion.
However, the BBC soap actually hinted at their big surprise much earlier.
In scenes aired last month, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) told Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) about a customer at her salon Fox & Hair.
She said: “I’ve got Ms Dobson in for a wash and cut first thing.”
Later in the conversation, Denise added: “I better get ready for Mrs Dobson then.”
Viewers were stunned to see Angie return after her off-screen death in 2002.
She was one of the BBC soap’s original characters and first landlady of the Queen Vic.
Sharon saw a hallucination of her mum, who begged her to start screaming for help.
Angie told her: “Use that voice and you start screaming for help. “That’s it baby, you start screaming for help. That’s my girl.”
Sharon’s ex-husband Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) heard her cries and got her to safety.
Writing on X, a viewer penned: “I can’t believe we got her back, even if only for a moment. And wearing her first-ever dressed-up outfit too. After all this time, Angie Watts came home!!!”
Another added: “It was like she never left! Sobbing.”
EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw said: “Angie Watts is undoubtedly one of EastEnders most formidable and iconic landlady’s.
“Since the very first episode, Anita instantly created a character that the audience adored and she not only shaped EastEnders into the show it is today, but also had a huge impact on British television.
“Anita was of course top of our ultimate wish list when we were discussing what we would love to include in our special anniversary week, so it was the best birthday present we could ever receive when she said yes.
“Watching Angie Watts grace the halls of The Queen Victoria, 40 years to the day she made her first appearance in Walford, is a day we will never forget as we all celebrate this show that has played such an important part in British television. Happy birthday EastEnders.”
EastEnders' 40th anniversary cameos so far
With the 40th anniversary of EastEnders coming up, fans are looking forward to some more incredible cameos from iconic faces of Walford's past. But who have we had so far?
Tracy-Ann Oberman – Oberman returned as Chrissie Watts, a character she last played nearly two decades ago.
Paul Bradley – Bradley returned as Nigel Bates, a character he last played over 25 years ago.
Micheal French – French returned as David Wicks, a character he last played two decades ago.
Patsy Palmer – Palmer returned as Bianca Jackson, a character she last played in 2019.
Ricky Groves – Groves returned as Garry Hobbs, a character who has not been seen since 2009.
Cliff Parisi – Parisi returned as Minty Peterson, a character who was last seen on the square in 2010.
Ross Kemp – Kemp has returned to play Grant Mitchell, a character he first played in 1990. The BBC has described Kemp’s storyline as “explosive”. Kemp said it was an “absolute honour” to return to the show.
Other aspects of the EastEnders 40th anniversary celebration include: A wedding between fan favorites, A huge explosion at the Queen Vic, and A live interactive episode.
Meanwhile, Anita revealed she only told one person – Queen legend husband Brian May – about her huge secret.
She added: “It’s been really hard because so many people that I’m really close to have said ‘oh are you going back?’ because I’ve gone back to do the documentary, so it’s been so hard not to say anything.
“But, I’ve been a really good girl and I’ve kept my little mouth shut because I didn’t want there to be any spoilers!”
EastEnders continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
Hot new boyband reveal they have been swamped with sultry DM’s as they release epic debut single
The UK has a rich history of producing incredible boybands like Take That and One Direction but for the last decade, we have been severely lacking.
Now dearALICE, made up of Blaise Noon, Dexter Greenwood, Olly Quinn, James Sharp and Reese Carter, are here to take on the challenge and they’ve already won over girls across the nation – as well as their mums.
The group have today (Fri) released their debut single Ariana and they joined me in Bizarre HQ to talk about it, following an incredible 2024 which saw them appear in their own BBC series and perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
On their new status as heartthrobs, Reese admitted: “I’ve had hotties in my DMs, yeah, constantly.”
Olly continued: “We’ve had lots of attention from mothers.”
And Dexter added: “After Strictly definitely. I mean, I’m not complaining.”
Before their official debut, dearALICE endured an intense 100-day bootcamp in South Korea at the headquarters of SM Entertainment – which is the agency which looks after the biggest K-pop acts.
The experience was shown in the BBC One series Made In Korea: The K-Pop Experience, which you can still watch on iPlayer, and last month they played to a crowd of 50,000 in Seoul.
And they reckon their training has given them something which sets them apart from other acts.
James explained: “For our music, I think we’re creating a new sound. It’s dearALICE and what we’re about is something completely new.
“We want to redefine what it means to be a boy band because I don’t think we feel individually that we fit that kind of boy band archetype.
“We really want to set the bar and change what it means to be a boy group. And with our music, I think we really want to push and be as progressive as we can with our sound.”
Blaise said: “Whenever we’re working on stuff, we’re always thinking in the long run. Like, let’s constantly improve it so that we can have a long career.”
They’ve already been getting advice from another talented boyband member, JB Gill, who competed on Strictly last year.
Dexter recalled: “After the show, I went and spoke to him. It was really interesting and he gave me some really good insight and advice into how to do this. He’s so nice.”
I’m a fan of their new tune Ariana, which shows off their unique sound with sharp, jerky synths and percussion under the boys’ voices.
Speaking about the song, and its reference to Ariana Grande, James said: “I think all of us have taken our own meanings behind it. Cause I think it’s also for interpretation.
“But originally the song was written about somebody that’s obsessed with celebrity culture and somebody who was in love with someone that is obsessed with celebrity culture and the image of Ariana.”
I’m sure my fiance can relate.
Beyonce a cut above
Beyonce made sure she was the mane attraction by posing in this dress to promote her haircare range.
She looked jaw-dropping in the cleavage-boosting gown with a thigh-high slit, celebrating one year of her brand Cecred.
Meanwhile, her pal Lady Gaga was talking songs, not shampoo, during a lie detector test for Vanity Fair in the US.
She was hooked up to the machine and asked whether there will be a sequel to her 2009 Beyonce collaboration Telephone, after they put “to be continued” at the end of the video.
In the video, Gaga insisted she did want to make a follow-up, but said, “I don’t know” when quizzed when, before dismissing a rumour that Bey’s hectic schedule was to blame for the delay.
It’s been 14 years, so I think we’ve waited long enough.
Two extra Sam albums
Sam Fender’s third album is out today after four years in the making – but he already has two more on the way.
The Geordie rocker was so inspired while making People Watching that he is now hurrying back into the studio to do a “stripped back” record and a “thrashy” album.
He said: “If I’m honest. I have got a load of new songs already. There are two avenues I’ve got right now on the go.
“I’ve got a real stripped-back bunch of tunes, which really I couldn’t build on them. They need to just be on their own.
“And then the other side’s a bit more thrashy. So I’m thinking about two records at once at the moment.
“We’ll see. But I would love to do a real stripped back one, because that’s how I started.”
Sam also revealed his new album came from the emotional experience of losing a loved one back home in North Shields.
He explained on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1: “People Watching, the title track, was about Annie Owen.
“She was like a surrogate mother, and I was looking after her when she passed away.
“So the last five days of her life, I was with her in palliative care and I was staying back in my hometown.
“Every day when I was walking back from the palliative care place, I was people watching and just trying to think about what was going on.”
Spill or Chill
Love Island’s Faye Winter once had a steamy encounter with an ex . . . when she got frisky in a sauna.
She made the cheeky revelation in the latest episode of YouTube series Spill Or Chill by The Sun’s Fabulous mag, which you can watch now by scanning the QR code below.
Faye, who was on the ITV2 dating show in 2021, said: “I have misbehaved in a sauna with my first boyfriend.
“At the time I thought it was very romantic but looking back on it, maybe not.
“These places do weird things to people and give you endorphins.”
Ozzy movie regret
Ozzy Osbourne certainly has the swashbuckling look of a pirate – and could have actually been one on the big screen.
His wife Sharon revealed that one of her major regrets as the Black Sabbath singer’s manager was turning down the chance for Ozzy to appear in the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies.
She said on the Magnificent Others podcast: “Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy?
“He got offered to go and read for Pirates Of The Caribbean, and I’ve never said this to anyone – I said no. Now, wouldn’t he have been perfect?”
Sharon didn’t reveal what role he was asked to play. But another rocker, Keith Richards, did end up with a role as the dad of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp in World’s End and On Stranger Tides.
Mind you, I can’t imagine Ozzy being great at remembering his script, bless him.
Daisy May Cooper was already one of my favourite celebrities, but has risen even higher in my estimation by cleverly avoiding mundane school politics.
Unlike my mum pals who are stuck in endless WhatsApp groups discussing lessons and lunch boxes, she can now avoid all that because she hasn’t had a phone for years.
Daisy told Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong, It’s Right podcast: “Because of work, I don’t do the school gate stuff.
“My ex-husband, who has been brilliant, does all of that. I don’t have to do any of it, and I tell you what, it is absolutely brilliant.
“I don’t get any PTA emails, I’m not in any WhatsApp groups.
“I haven’t owned a phone for like two years because of my crippling anxiety, and WhatsApp was just literally sending me over the edge.
“Social media was just awful, so everything goes to my partner’s phone and he tells me.”
Luke who Pitbull met
Pitbull looked chuffed to get a snap backstage at his own show with darts champ Luke Littler.
“The Nuke” hung out with the rapper before his show at Dublin’s 3Arena on Wednesday, ahead of his gig at London’s O2 Arena tonight.
With the pic of him beaming from ear to ear, Mr Worldwide said “it was an honour” and that he was wishing the teenage thrower “the best of luck.”
