EastEnders – June Brown

June has famously played Dot Cotton from 1985 up until earlier this year.

At the beginning of the year, Dot went to Ireland after her money was stolen. But it was later revealed that Dot wouldn’t be coming back as actress June turned down the opportunity for a retainer contract.

This would have allowed her to come back in the future.

However speaking about her decision not to come back, June said: “I don’t want a retainer for EastEnders, I’ve left. I’ve left for good.

“I’ve sent her off to Ireland where she’ll stay. I did make up a limerick. It’s a bit dirty.

“I went back to do a good story. Alas and alack, when I got back it had gone up in smoke.
