EastEnders viewers are predicting a comeback for a character who has only just left Walford – Dotty!
Villain Dotty Cotton left Albert Square last night (Friday December 17) in explosive scenes.
Having lost her grandmother Dot Branning and said her farewell at her funeral this week, Dotty’s mind soon turned to the will.
She expected to inherit Dot’s millions – but instead got a huge shock.
Given just £10,000, Dotty was incandescent with rage as she discovered Sonia Fowler was bequeathed the house and Dot’s fortune.
“You’re a nobody who has conned her way into my grandma’s life,” she said.
“She was senile, she was off her rocker. You knew what you were doing, you got in grandma Dot’s ear, dripping your poison in.”
Horrified Dotty vowed revenge.
And she began to smash up Dot’s living room – destroying the pictures before dousing it with petrol.

EastEnders exit for Dotty Cotton
Holding a match, she told Sonia to get out so she could burn it down – but luckily Rocky arrived in time to stop her.
Sonia tried to make things OK with Dotty but she wouldn’t have it.
Instead she packed her bags and ordered a cab to take her away from Albert Square for good.
“Oh just shut up you boring old bag,” she screamed at Sonia as she tried to get her to stay.
“To hell with Walford!”
But as Dotty was driven away, fans don’t think it’s a final exit – and they are predicting her return.
One said: “The fact they didn’t kill her off and the way she left.
“I can see her being brought back in the future, one way or another. She still needs to pay Harvey back (doubt she will though).”
A second said: “The character will be back I’m certain.”

A third said: “No way is that the last we’ve seen of Dotty. She’ll be back. You heard it here first.”
Others praised actress Milly Zero with one saying: “Well done @millyzero. You are amazing and gifted lady. When Dotty had the match tonight I was like nooooo.”
Another added: “Goodbye Dotty and @millyzero. Good luck in the future!”
