During her time on the show, her alter ego ended up getting pregnant by Darren Miller after a one-night stand.
She later gave birth to a son, who she named George Michael after the singer.
Towards the end of her time on the soap, it looked like Heather would get the happy ever after she wanted when her boyfriend Andrew Cotton proposed to her.
However, it was revealed he had quite a nasty temper when he nearly hit Shirley.
Heather and Shirley fell out due to this and Shirley rejected her best friend’s attempts to reconcile.
As Heather decided to leave to elope with Andrew, Ben Mitchell came over looking for money Heather had been given by Dot so he could leave Walford.
As she tried to stop him stealing it, he hit her over the head with a photo frame killing her.
