Lou Beale's passing in 1988 sort of started the exodus of the original EastEnders. I'm always sorry to see them go. Gretchen is a wonderful dancer and very clever lady. She once broke her leg, but no one could keep her away from the set. She's an absolute trouper.
Wing is also quite busy with various charitable activities, specifically for underprivileged people.
The phone never tops ringing. Hardly a day does not go by that somebody recognizes Wing as Lou Beale.
