Storylines in EastEnders are often major news events in the UK, and Pauline's troubles were frequently the subject of newspaper headlines, television documentaries, behind-the-scenes books and fictional tie-in novels.

Pauline was the matriarchal stalwart of the fictional London community of Albert Square. Quintessentially working-class, she had a life of drudgery, money worries and family troubles, but soldiered on through it all with typical stoicism. Fiercely loyal to her family, she inherited her acid tongue from her mother, Lou Beale, and was never afraid to speak her mind or defend her views. However, the family that she held so dear dwindled in the latter years of her life, partly due to her overbearing ways. Her most consistent job was working as an assistant at Walford's launderette; a job she kept until her death in 2006. Over the years she also worked part-time as a cleaner and a barmaid at The Queen Vic, at Tate's Paint Factory and in 1991 she became part owner of the Bridge Street café with Kathy Beale and Frank Butcher.^[2] Her most enduring friendship was with her fellow launderette colleague, Dot Cotton. Her arch-enemy was Den Watts; a family-friend who got her daughter Michelle pregnant at just 16. Although viewed as a battleaxe, Pauline was never one to neglect her Christian duties and housed many waifs and strays over the years, including her Cairn Terrier Betty, who became her inseparable sidekick.

Character creation and development

Background

Pauline Fowler was one of the original twenty-three characters invented by the creators of EastEnders, Tony Holland and Julia Smith. Holland had drawn on his own London background for inspiration, naming some of the characters after his cousins, the fraternal twins Pete and Pauline and their mother Lou; a family set-up recreated on-screen as the first family of EastEnders, the Beales and Fowlers.^[4] Tony Holland (born in London, England) is a television writer. ...

Pauline's original character outline as written by Smith and Holland appeared in an abridged form in their book, EastEnders: The Inside Story. This is a list of books about or relating to the British soap opera EastEnders. ...

"Pete's twin sister. Forty, and a chip off the Lou Beale block. Plucky, and determined to battle through whatever the odds. A warm, practical, unsophisticated woman: you stand by your man, do your duty, fight for your kids and have a roast for Sunday dinner...She's also pregnant...She actually remembers her dad saying "Two things we don't discuss in this house are religion and politics". She also remembers her dad smoked a pipe, and wishes her husband did too. She loved her dad very much... Maybe she didn't go into her marriage with quite the right spirit? She was due to be chief bridesmaid at her sister's wedding but she'd got the flu and was confined to bed. Arthur, someone she'd known from school, was given permission to visit the invalid upstairs. He found himself proposing to her. Years later he said "It was to cheer her up really." And Pauline found herself accepting too...She's very fond of her twin brother, Pete (and knows that he's mum's favourite). She's very conventional, and the salt of the earth. Jolly, rounded, someone you can get your arms round. She doesn't trust skinny people..." (page 54).^[4]

Casting

From the beginning, Smith had considered the role would be ideal for the actress Wendy Richard, even though their casting policy was not to use 'stars' and Richard was already a household name in the UK. Up until this time, Richard was known for playing glamorous roles, such as her role as Shirley Brahms in the successful sitcom Are You Being Served? Smith initially feared that Richard would be apprehensive about playing Pauline, who would be anything but glamorous, but these fears were swept aside when Richard announced that she was sick of glamour and wanted to play her own age. She was subsequently offered the role.^[4] Image File history File links PAULINE333. ... Image File history File links PAULINE333. ...

Richard's casting was considered to be "a giant leap of faith" by Holland and Smith, but one that ultimately "landed on its feet",^[4] because Pauline went on to be one of the longest running characters in the EastEnders' history, remaining with the show for nearly twenty-two years.

Narrative, impact and progression

Pauline's early memorable storylines included giving birth at the age of 41 to her son Martin, a feud with lothario Den Watts, as well as having to contend with a plethora of family and money problems. Pauline's marriage to the luckless Arthur was central to the character and they have been hailed as "the soap's most famous husband and wife team."^[5] Martin Albert Fowler is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. ... Dennis Den Watts was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by actor Leslie Grantham. ... Arthur George Fowler was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

The dynamics of Pauline and Arthur's relationship were clear from the beginning of the programme, with Pauline depicted as the matriarchal force that held the Fowler family together, while Arthur was depicted as weak, emotionally unstable and easily dominated by the stronger females of his family. Writer Jacquetta May, who once played Rachel Kominski in the programme, has commented that Pauline and Arthur "represented the matriarchal relationship of strong woman/weak man...Arthur, only sporadically employed and disabled by a breakdown, often behaved like a little boy while Pauline had to make the decisions and keep the family functioning in the face of poverty and unemployment, teenage pregnancy and depression."^[6] Jacquetta May (born 1960) is a British actress and writer. ... Rachel Kominski was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

Over the years Pauline's character altered somewhat from her original outline. Instead of being the jolly, warm character she was during the 1980s, she became somewhat of a sombre battleaxe, hardened by a life of misery in Albert Square.^[7] This change in Pauline's character can perhaps be traced back to the infidelity of her husband with lonely divorcée Christine Hewitt in 1993.^[2] Albert Square is the fictional location of the British soap opera Eastenders. ... Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse. ... Christine Hewitt was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

The audience had witnessed Pauline and Arthur rowing many times, but they were generally seen as the most stable of all couples ever featured in the show, so the storyline involving Arthur's extra-marital affair came as a huge shock to viewers.^[2] The British press labelled the storyline "The Bonk of the Year" and it finally reached its climax on-screen in September 1993.^[2] The scriptwriters had many conferences about ways in which Pauline would find out about the affair; should she work it out herself or should some third party tell her the truth?^[2] In the end it was felt that Arthur should decide to tell her himself, which he did in a shocking episode that saw Pauline turn violent and hit Arthur in the face with a frying pan. This episode (written by Tony McHale and directed by Keith Boak) was chosen by writer Colin Brake as the episode of the year in EastEnders: the first ten years.^[2] This is a list of books about or relating to the British soap opera EastEnders. ...

For a while it seemed that EastEnders' "most solid" marriage was over,^[2] but Arthur spent the rest of 1993 trying to convince Pauline that it was worth saving and they eventually reconciled.^[2] However, more tragedy was to follow when Arthur was framed by conman, Willy Roper (dubbed "Wicked Willy" by the British press),^[8] and wrongfully imprisoned for embezzlement in 1995. The storyline captured the public's imagination and a nationwide "Free Arthur Fowler" campaign was launched — "Arthur Fowler Is Innocent" T-shirts were produced and a single was even released in the UK singles chart promoting the campaign.^[9] Willy Roper was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. ... The UK Singles Chart is currently compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) on behalf of the British record industry. ...

Arthur's imprisonment was actually a precursor to the final exit of actor Bill Treacher, who decided to leave EastEnders after 11 years playing Arthur.^[10] While Arthur went to pieces in prison, Pauline was heavily embroiled in the storyline pertaining to his eventual release. For several months viewers witnessed Willy attempt to woo Pauline, but she eventually uncovered his deception and then resorted to uncharacteristic seduction to gain his confession.^[11] One critic commented "Pauline Fowler deserves a Golden Cardie Award for her performance in EastEnders. The way which she extracted a confession from Willy Roper over the money he stole was nothing short of brilliant."^[11] Arthur was released, but his joyful reunion with Pauline was brief, as an injury he sustained in prison led to a brain haemorrhage and he died shortly after his release. His death ended an 11 year screen marriage, the serial's most enduring to date.^[5] Bill as Arthur (EastEnders 1985) Bill Treacher (born 4 June 1930 in London) is a British actor. ...

In July 2006, Wendy Richard announced that she would be leaving the show. She said she made the decision to leave when the producers of EastEnders revealed that Pauline was to re-marry. Richard thought it was "disloyal" of Pauline to her beloved first husband Arthur. Pauline married Joe Macer (played by Ray Brooks) in February 2006 and Richard since commented: "I think it's the most terrible shame, I really do. I thought in my heart of hearts it was wrong." ^[12] Joseph Joe Macer was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

The character was killed off in a shocking and dramatic storyline, which aired on Christmas Day 2006. The episode was watched by an estimated 10.7 million viewers and was the second most highly watched programme of the day.^[13] Having successfully alienated everyone around her, Pauline brooded in the burnt-out shell of her house while the voices of her (mainly deceased) family echoed like ghosts around her. Her bitter decline had involved pretending to have a brain tumour to scupper the revived relationship between her son Martin and his ex-wife Sonia. When Pauline’s lie was uncovered, Martin and the rest of Albert Square turned against her. After a showdown with nemesis Sonia, Pauline decided to rebuild her broken family and make amends with Martin. However, in a tragic final twist, Pauline collapsed beneath the Square’s Christmas tree, in a storyline that left the rest of Walford in uncertainty about the circumstances of her demise. The repercussions of Pauline's death shook the Square in early 2007, when Pauline's husband Joe was revealed to have dealt the deadly blow to Pauline.^[14] Image File history File links Pauline1985. ...

The Christmas Day episodes, written by Simon Ashdown, drew on the show’s early history to mark the occasion of Pauline's exit, which was particularly felt by the use of flashback vocal snippets of several members of Pauline's deceased family.^[15] The critic for The Times online, Tim Teeman, has commented that "Wendy Richard as Pauline had the air of the departing diva, queen of all she had loved, lost and laid waste to, her face set in a silent snarl."^[15] In addition, her parting scene with the other EastEnders long-serving "grand dame" Dot Branning (played by June Brown) has also been praised, with Teeman commenting: "The really choking scene came in the launderette between Pauline and Dot... Here the two grand dames had worked, bitched and consoled for years. Richard and the wonderful June Brown played their final encounter as intensely as the characters deserved."^[15] Simon Ashdown is a British television writer. ...

Richard herself has been less complimentary about her alter ego's departure and has spoken of her disappointment regarding Pauline's "changing character" and "depressing final storyline". In an interview with the Biography Channel she explained: "I did say, promise me you won’t make Pauline nasty before she goes, and unfortunately they did... I wasn’t too happy with the way it was done. They were changing Pauline’s character... Pauline would never have remarried. She would have remained a widow, sitting in that chair in the corner. That’s what [show creator] Julia Smith wanted, and that’s what I felt was right, so I resigned... I think it’s a shame because the Fowlers have gone completely now... There was so much history with that family."^[16] The Biography Channel is an American digital cable television channel owned by A&E and based on the television series of the same name. ...

As a final tribute to Pauline and Wendy Richard the BBC aired a special television programme entitled EastEnders Revealed: Goodbye Pauline, which provided an emotional look back at Richard's time in Walford, reunited her with prior cast-mates, Todd Carty and James Alexandrou (Mark and Martin respectively) and also featured tributes from Anna Wing and Pam St. Clement (Lou and Pat) among others.^[17] The programme aired on New Year's Day, 2007.

Pre-serial life

At the beginning of the EastEnders serial in 1985, Pauline was 41 years old, already married with two grown children. The story of her younger years was told via behind-the-scenes books such as EastEnders: The Inside Story, and also the second tie-in novel by Hugh Miller, Swings and Roundabouts. Through these books, it was revealed that Pauline had been born at number 45 Albert Square, and thus lived there her entire life. She was delivered by Dr. Harold Legg, and was the youngest daughter of Albert and Lou Beale. Pauline was extremely close to her twin brother, Pete, and had also dearly loved her father, but he died when she was 12 years old, causing her to have to grow up quickly. She dated a sleazy salesman named Gerry Carter, who tried to take her virginity in the back of his car but she fended him off by stabbing him in the arm with a hatpin.

In-serial storylines

Early years

Pauline stood up to her mother in the first episode of the programme (February 1985).

When EastEnders began, Pauline was a working wife and mother with two teenage children, and another on the way. Her husband, Arthur, was made redundant in 1984 and at age 43, he had no prospects for steady employment, so Pauline's unexpected pregnancy came at a very bad time. Pauline's mother Lou told her that she couldn not afford another child and ordered her to "get rid of it", but Pauline stood up to her mother for the first time in her life, and decided to keep the child. Apart from Martin's birth in July 1985, the following few years were not happy ones for Pauline.^[19] She had to contend with her deviant son Mark, her daughter Michelle's teenage pregnancy to a mystery man, and the mental breakdown and imprisonment of Arthur, who was caught stealing the Walford residents' Christmas club money, leaving Pauline struggling to repay the debt.^[2] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (731x610, 67 KB) This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program or station ID.

Pauline visited Den in prison and forced a deal (1988).

In 1987, Pauline witnessed Den Watts trying to give Michelle money, and correctly guessed that he was the father of her daughter, Vicki.^[19] This launched a feud between Pauline and Den that lasted for the remainder of Den's life. She spent most of her time trying to dig up incriminating evidence so she could force him to leave Walford and told Michelle to keep Den away from Vicki, or she would inform everybody about the secret.

Following Lou's death in 1988, Pauline promptly took over as the family matriarch. She was thrilled when Den was imprisoned on remand later in the year. However her ire rose once again when she discovered that Den had been sending Michelle and Vicki Christmas presents from prison. She threatened to inform his daughter, Sharon, that he was Vicki's father unless he kept away from her family.^[20] She was finally rid of Den when he was shot and presumed dead in February 1989.

In July 1989 Pauline began to go through some poor health. Fearing that she might need a serious gynaecological operation, Pauline refused medical assistance and was forced to hand in her notice at the launderette due to chronic tiredness. However, in September, she was hit by Ricky Butcher's car, causing her to be hospitalised with a cracked rib.^[2] The accident proved to be a blessing in disguise as the examination brought news that she was suffering with fibroids.

Pauline's heartache

Pauline was overjoyed when her son Mark returned home in 1990 after nearly five years away. However she began to worry that something was wrong when she discovered mysterious helpline cards in his clothes and noticed how irrational he got whenever he bled. On Boxing Day 1991 Mark finally decided to tell his parents that he was HIV positive.^[21] Pauline was distraught, but after a difficult period she came to accept Mark's condition.^[22] Boxing Day is a public holiday observed in many Commonwealth countries on 26 December. ...

Pauline and Arthur were stunned by Mark's confession (1991).

In 1992, Arthur took up a new occupation as a gardener, most notably for the lonely divorcée Christine Hewitt. At the end of May, a phone call from New Zealand brought news that Pauline's brother Kenny had been in a car crash and she decided to visit him (in fact, Wendy Richard had to be written out of the series to allow her time to act in Grace and Favour).^[2] While she was away Christine grew extremely close to Arthur and she eventually made a pass at him. Although he was tempted, he eventually turned her down and she then disappeared, sending him a letter explaining her feelings, which was discovered by Pauline on her return. She went to see Christine to discover the truth, and found her to be a lonely figure who drank too much. Pauline was persuaded to forgive Arthur, but he could not keep away from Christine and on Christmas Eve 1992 they slept together.^[22] Image File history File links PAUL_ARTHIV.jpg‎ This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program or station ID.

Throughout 1993 Christine began to make greater demands on Arthur, threatening to tell Pauline about their affair. Arthur began to realise that he had made a mistake. In September, under duress, Arthur decided to inform Pauline about his infidelity and tried to tell her that he wanted her and not Christine. Hurt, embarrassed and angry, Pauline responded by hitting Arthur around the head with a frying pan and then threw him out of their home.^[22] Arthur spent the rest of the year trying to make up with her, and they eventually reconciled when he helped her deal with the death of her brother Pete in December 1993. They slowly began to rebuild their marriage, although the affair was never allowed to be forgotten.^[2]

Arthur's demise

In 1995 Arthur was elected secretary of the allotment committee. He started raising money to create a new urban garden and by the end of the year he had managed to raise £20,000.^[22] A typical allotment plot, Essex, England Allotment gardens are characterized by a concentration in one place of a few or up to several hundreds of land parcels that are assigned to individual families. ...

Pauline collected Arthur from prison in 1996, days before his death.

Arthur's friend, Willy Roper, took a keen interest in the financial dealings, and conned Arthur into signing the fund money into various different accounts, then left him to face the consequences when the money was declared missing. For a second time, Arthur was imprisoned. Upon this, Arthur suffered a mental breakdown and refused contact with Pauline.^[22] Willy then spent the beginning of 1996 trying to woo Pauline, despite the objections of her family.^[22] Image File history File links Pauline_Arthur_EastEnders. ...

In April 1996, Willy asked Pauline to go to Jersey on holiday — his real motive was to put the stolen money in an off-shore account under a false name. While traveling, Pauline and Willy became very close, but this changed when she discovered his counterfeit credit cards.^[23] Back in Walford, she eventually managed to make him confess to embezzlement and framing Arthur, and Willy was arrested and charged.^[24] For other uses, see Counterfeit (disambiguation). ...

Arthur was cleared, but the day before his release he was involved in a prison riot and received a blow to the head. Only a few days after his release in May 1996, Arthur suffered a brain haemorrhage on the allotments, and died the next day in hospital.^[22] His funeral was delayed pending an inquest, but the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, much to the disgust of Pauline, who felt that the prison services had neglected to seek proper medical help for Arthur.^[22] A bench was placed in dedication to his memory in the Albert Square gardens.

Family issues

Following Arthur's death, Pauline engrossed herself in her family, seeing it as her duty to keep it together. She was a traditionalist, with strict rules and beliefs, and although she was the first to criticise, she fully defended her children, often interfering in their issues and causing rifts in their relationships. She was particularly hostile to the women who featured in her sons' lives, coming to epitomise the archetypal mother-in-law.

When Pauline discovered in 2001 that Martin was the father of Sonia Jackson's baby, Chloe, she was determined to raise the child. Sonia was opposed to this and decided to put Chloe up for adoption instead. Pauline threatened to take Sonia to court for custody, but was forced to back down when Martin admitted that he did not want to be a father.^[22] Sonia Fowler (née Branning; previously Jackson) is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

Pauline grieved at the funeral for her son, Mark, who had died of AIDS (2004).

Pauline's overbearing ways only served to alienate Martin, and she could not curtail his deviance. She began to rely on Mark more than ever, but when he discovered that his HIV medication was failing, he could no longer cope with her dependence and refused to let her witness his deterioration. She tried everything she could to protect him, often smothering him in the process, and found it especially difficult when Mark made the decision to spend his last months traveling the world, instead of with her.^[25] His eventual death in 2004 made her more protective of her last remaining son.

She continued to meddle in Martin's life and refused to loosen her control over him, even when he decided to marry Sonia. Her interference in their wedding plans caused the couple to elope and marry away from Walford.^[26] In order to keep Martin within her grasp, she signed over half her house to them so they had to remain living with her. Sonia found it difficult to cope with Pauline and many rows erupted with Martin in the middle. Things worsened when Pauline contacted Margaret Wilson, the guardian of Chloe (now named Rebecca), and began visiting her against Sonia's wishes. Sonia was furious and the warring women were at loggerheads for a long while, with Pauline adamant that Sonia and Martin should take steps to regain custody of Rebecca.^[27] Pauline was later incensed to discover that Sonia had embarked on a lesbian affair with Naomi Julien in 2005. After Martin was given custody of Rebecca, she made it her mission to exclude Sonia from her granddaughter's life. However, Martin was unable to keep Sonia away from Rebecca indefinitely.

Second marriage

Pauline and Joe married, 16 February 2006.

Several eligible bachelors expressed their interest in Pauline over the years, including Derek Taylor, Danny Taurus, Jeff Healy (who proposed), Eddie Skinner, and Terry Raymond, who she went on a blind date with.^[29] However, Pauline remained staunchly faithful to her late husband's memory and refused to let the relationships progress beyond companionship. In 2001 it looked as if Pauline was finally willing to begin a new relationship with her childhood friend, Derek Harkinson, however he stunned her by confessing that he was gay.^[30] Image File history File links Pauline&Joe. ...

In August 2005 however, Pauline grew close to Joe Macer, whom she at a salsa dance class. Although Joe was obviously drawn to Pauline, he was kept at bay by Pauline's unwillingness to betray Arthur's memory. Pauline eventually allowed him to get closer and it was not long before he had fallen in love and proposed to her in a crowded Queen Vic. She declined but Joe asked her again in February 2006 after telling her that he would leave to live in Dubai unless she would commit to their relationship; this time she accepted,^[31] and despite her misgivings, they were married on 17 February 2006.

Just two months later, in April 2006, things began to sour between the couple after Pauline discovered that Joe was concealing a criminal past.^[33]

Deception, reclusiveness and death

In November 2006, Martin and Pauline argued about Pauline's treatment of Sonia, and Pauline became depressed to learn they had reunited. When a fire started at her house, she did nothing to stop it and awaited her death, until Martin rescued her. Whilst in hospital, she concocted a story about having a brain tumour, in order to regain Martin's attention and split him and Sonia up. The community initially rallied around her, until Joe uncovered the deception, and the community turned against her. Still unfazed, Pauline decided to exert her revenge on her son by cutting him out of her life. She informed him that she was taking back the family's fruit and veg stall, cutting off his only source of income.^[34]

Joe tried to get through to Pauline, but she was hostile. She compared him unfavorably to Arthur and confessed that she had never really loved him. She ridiculed their lacklustre sex life and told him their marriage was over. Furious, Joe began smashing up her living room and insulting her family. Pauline retaliated by smashing a plate over his head^[34] and then made plans to leave Walford to live with Michelle in America.

Sonia hit Pauline, Christmas Day 2006.

On Christmas Day 2006, Sonia informed Pauline that she and Martin were remarrying. A heated argument ensued, which culminated in Pauline being slapped in the face by Sonia. Despite Sonia's apologies, Pauline was still adamant that she was leaving Walford. However, when she discovered a Christmas card from Rebecca, she began to realise what she was giving up. She went to tell Martin she was staying, but as she walked she staggered and frequently clutched her head in obvious pain. Suddenly, she collapsed in the middle of Albert Square gardens near Arthur's bench and lay motionless in the snow. A short time later she was found, and Martin was horrified to discover that she was dead. Image File history File links Sonia_slaps_pauline. ...

Pauline's funeral took place on 1 January 2007, however the proceedings were halted due to Dot, who had called the police after Rebecca confessed to seeing Sonia hit Pauline.^[35] The police interrupted the funeral to take Pauline's body away for an autopsy, which confirmed that she died of a brain haemorrhage, caused by a blow to the head.^[36] January 1 is the first day of the calendar year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ...

Sonia was arrested for Pauline's murder, but it turned out that her death had been caused by her husband Joe. He broke down and confessed to Dot that he had argued with Pauline on Christmas day and, in a fury, he had struck her across the head with a frying pan, causing the brain haemorrhage that claimed her life. Dot was appalled and as she tried to leave, Joe attempted to apprehend her. The resulting scuffle caused Joe to lose his footing and fall out of the Fowlers' first floor window, to his death. Sonia was cleared, and Pauline's body was cremated on 29 January 2007.

Reception

Popularity

Pauline is the second-longest running character to feature in EastEnders and one of only two original characters to remain in the show for almost 22 years. Her baggy woolly cardigan and long-suffering nature have led to her being labelled as a soap institution,^[37] a "soap legend" and a "television icon".^[38]

When Richard announced her depature from the show in 2006, BBC controller of continuing drama John Yorke commented "Richard occupies a huge place in people's hearts" ^[1] and executive producer Kate Harwood said, "For many years Wendy simply was EastEnders for the audience and Pauline's indomitable nature typified the grit and fight that embodies the EastEnders' spirit. We thank her for everything she has done for the show..."^[39] John Yorke: Executive Producer of EastEnders, December 1999 - May 2002 John Yorke is currently the Controller of Continuing Drama Series and Head of Independent Drama for the BBC. He joined the BBC in the late 1980s, working initially in radio as a studio manager and then as a producer on... Kate Harwood on the set of EastEnders Kate Harwood is a British television producer. ...

Although it has been suggested by some that Pauline's presence in EastEnders was largely peripheral for some time, the news of her departure was met with dismay by fans and soap journalists alike.^[40] Inside Soap editor Steven Murphy has said that the fact Pauline has been such an enduring staple will make it hard for fans to cope with her departure. "It's huge in soap terms... She's a character people love to hate — you just assumed she would be there forever." Jonathan Hughes, editor of All About Soap magazine, has also said "She's an absolute legend... You can't imagine the show without her... People will miss her because she's been such an important part of EastEnders for so many years."^[40] Inside Soap is a weekly UK magazine, which covers current and future plots in UK based soap operas. ...

In May 2007, Wendy Richard was awarded with a 'Lifetime Achievement' award at the British Soap Awards, to honour her years of service to EastEnders. The award was presented by Todd Carty, who played her on-screen son Mark. Carty described Richard as the "heart and soul of EastEnders" and hailed her as an "inspiration" to everyone in the EastEnders cast.^[41] Richard was moved to tears when she collected the award.^[42] The British Soap Awards is an annual awards ceremony to honour the best of British soap operas. ... Todd Carty (born 31 August 1963) is an Irish actor. ...

Criticism

Despite being popular with many, the character of Pauline has also garnered much criticism over the years. Persistent criticism has been given to the character's dowdy attire, particularly the misconceived perception that she rarely wears anything but a baggy cardigan;^[38] a claim that Wendy Richard herself categorically disputes.^[43] In addition Pauline has also received much criticism for her miserable demeanour. She has been described as the "Wicked Witch of Walford"^[15] and "a character who became a byword for downtrodden haggery".^[44]

Lucy Mangan, the culture critic from The Guardian newspaper, has gone on to sum up the character, commenting: "Pauline Fowler, is surely one of the oddest soap creations ever. She is a character without humour, charisma or indeed any redeeming features who became progressively, unrelentingly miserable...She was presumably intended to be the anchoring force for EastEnders, but because of the writers' unprecedented decision to break with traditional narrative rules and give her not a single redeeming feature, she became more of a sucking chest wound than the heart of the show."^[44] This opinion is perhaps shared by a proportion of viewers, as Pauline was voted the 35^th most annoying person of 2006 in a BBC Three poll, being the only fictional character to appear on the list.^[45] The Guardian is a British newspaper owned by the Guardian Media Group. ... BBC Three, the successor to the similar BBC Choice, is a British television channel from the BBC broadcasting only on digital cable, terrestrial and satellite. ...

In addition, Pauline's exit in December 2006 was described as a "mess" by Kevin O'Sullivan, critic of the Sunday Mirror newspaper. He branded her final scene unconvincing and badly acted, commenting: "the appropriately feeble scene brought down the curtain on 20 terrible years of Wendy Richard's low - quality performances. We shall not see her like again. If we're lucky!...I'm certain millions didn't tune in to say farewell to sour- faced Pauline. No, they were just checking to make sure she was really dead."^[46] Alternate newspaper: The Daily Mirror (Australia) The Daily Mirror is a popular British tabloid daily newspaper. ...

In popular culture

EastEnders was the first television show to have a "dial-a-soap" facility. Run by British Telecom in 1985, the facility allowed people who had missed an episode to ring a number and get an instant update. The synopses were scripted to be no longer than one minute and twenty-eight seconds per episode. Wendy Richard, in character as Pauline, was chosen to be the voice at the other end of the line and narrated each episode.^[4] BT Group plc (which trades as just BT, and is commonly known by its former name, British Telecom) is the privatised former British state telecommunications operator. ...

The character of Pauline was mentioned in the successful BBC drama This Life in 1997. In one episode of the show two key characters, Anna and Ferdy, watched an episode of EastEnders on television and mocked Pauline's hysterics and her well documented tendency to wear cardigans. This Life was a BBC television drama, produced by World Productions and screened on BBC Two, running for two series in 1996 and 1997 and a reunion special in 2007. ...

The character has also been spoofed in the successful BBC comedy sketch show, The Real McCoy (1991-1995). One of the show's regular sketches featured a spoof version of EastEnders, with black comedians taking over roles of well known EastEnders characters who frequented a pub called Rub-a-Dub. The comedian Llewella Gideon played the role of Pauline and the sketches placed considerable emphasis on her high-pitched voice.^[47] The Real McCoy was a very successful BBC Television Comedy show which ran from (1991 - 1996) featuring an array of talented black comedy stars performing material aimed at an across-the-board black audience. ...
