I love backstage drama! I can’t say I’m that upset about it though. Her loss. |

I know she popular but I don’t know why she doesn’t just retire from Eastenders, she barely features and I know her age might be a factor for reduced workload but if craves doing other things then now would be the perfect opportunity at least she can give Dot a good exit. |

June Brown holding the show in such low regard got tiresome a long time ago. And if she'd rather advertise double glazing or whatever it is, let her stay there. Dot's not a miss. Not anymore. |

For a woman of her age, you'd expect a lot more maturity. It would be nice objectively if she got a proper exit storyline. I mean, Dot's a legend. But it wouldn't be something I'd lose sleep over if she just fizzled out. I really think the character of Dot should have moved out of Walford if June couldn't be bothered with being full-time anymore. Then do a Babs and return for her eventual death. |

They could genuinely bring her back for a week to kill her off and that would be absolutely fine with me. I'd not be opposed to Charlie and Kirsty coming in to keep the Cotton flag flying, but Dot is little more than a relic these days. And it must be said, for an actress with a staggeringly high sense of grandeur, she wouldn't be anyone without Dot, because she simply doesn't have the acting talent she thinks she does. Never has. |

I agree - I think it's time for Dot to die. The character is missing most of the time anyway, so it wouldn't be a great loss. She's had her day. |

When was the last time we actually saw Dot? I genuinely can’t remember seeing her since Abi was in hospital. |

It's strange that Dot ever really reached such a big status if you think about it. Her family has never been iconic like the Beales or the Mitchells or the Watts or the Slaters. Neither of the two Charlie Cottons were anything special, Nick was panto at best and downright awful at worst, Ashley was nice but underdeveloped and... let's not even start on "Kirsty". The most this family has ever interested me was in late 2014 with the Dot, Charlie, Yvonne, Nick and Ronnie set-up. It was dark, it was edgy, it was a ticking time bomb of dynamics. But DTC threw that all away quickly enough. Rose and Andrew were both a bit rubbish as well, in my opinion. I definitely just want Dot killed off at this point, and for a line to be drawn under the Cotton line. Have a big funeral, bring back Carol, Lauren, Nigel, Colin, any of the necessary blood relatives. Maybe have the Fatboy secret come out as her last big story? Then, we can see Jack or Max turn to religion, Sonia cope with being a sort of matriarch for the Brannings in Walford. They did so brilliantly with the aftermath of Joyce's death, imagine how much greater it could be for a genuinely important character? |
