==Biography==
Peggy Mitchell is the matriarch of the iconic Mitchell Family that originally came to Albert Square, the market town of fictional East London borough Walford, in the early 1990s. She is the mother of two hardman sons Phil and Grant - famously known as the "Mitchell Brothers" - along with a daughter named Sam.
Since becoming a full-time regular in 1994, Peggy has represented some of the show's biggest and most highly-prolific storylines to date. These include an initial hate campaign against Mark Fowler over his HIV situation, a longstanding feud with her estranged sister-in-law Sharon Watts that begun in the aftermath of the "Sharongate" scenario, developing a competitive rivalry and at times friendship with her perceived frenemy Pat Evans, marrying Pat's lover Frank Butcher before later exposing his affair with Pat in front of everyone in the Queen Vic, clashing with several of the show's major villains like Janine Butcher and Johnny Allen, being romantically entangled with her villainous brother-in-law Archie Mitchell, and coping with Phil's alcoholism and mental breakdown that would ultimately lead to her 2010 exit in the "Queen Vic Fire Week".
In her other major storyline, Peggy endured a prolonging ordeal with breast cancer since 1996 and was able to overcome it before the cancer eventually returned in 2016. This resulted in Peggy committing suicide in May 2016.
