[Strictly Jake]

Aww this is so sad!

[Amy Jade]

Aww this has brought a tear to my eye, wonderful actress and seemed a truly lovely lady. May she rest in peace x

[joeysteele]

The really cruel condition she had is absolutely crushing.
Ripping away your life and memories.

Very sad news.

She was an incredible actress whether that was bringing laughter or her more feisty roles.

R.I.P.

[Mystic Mock]

RIP.

I can't really comment much on her acting if I'm being honest as I've only ever seen her on EastEnders, but Alzheimer's is an incredibly cruel way to go that I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.

[Kazanne]

Very sad news,lovely lady

[Jake.]

:( At least she isn’t suffering with such a horrible disease anymore. RIP Babs

[Daniel-X]

Devastated :( Alzheimer’s is such a horrible horrible disease, I hope she’s at peace now.

RIP Barbara, her and Peggy will always be British icons :love:

Pat needs to make a statement and apologies for all the mean things she said about Pegs

[Niamh.]

She was on This Morning
ITV1HD

[bots]

I never got why people liked her to be honest. I never liked her association with gangsters

She was happy with Tough Men
nothing wrong with that.

nothing wrong with hanging out with violent thugs? ok

It's better than actually being one though I guess and the world weeped for Mr Connery :shrug:

[Marsh.]

Never got why people felt the need to share why they disliked someone after they passed. She was an 83 year old woman who had dementia, have some respect for her and yourself and just shut up.

no, its a forum, i have an opinion, and i will share it, we dont all have to be sycophants like you

[Marsh.]

Nothing sycophantic about having a bit of respect.

Share your opinion all you like, be prepared for people to comment on it. It is a forum after all. Choosing her death to share how you don't like someone is just gross.

[Firewire]

So sad. RIP Babs.

An absolute legend who will be sorely missed. :love:

[Dogeatdog]

This is such sad news RIP :(. I haven’t watched EE for a long time but when I was growing up, we would always sit down as a family and watch EE together during the 2000s and seeing her face always reminded me of the times we used to enjoy watching it together and how we would all look forward to the next episode.

Her passing has reminded me of some very fond memories and she played such an iconic character on the show that I will always be very grateful for. :love:

Completely agree. Not the time nor place.

[Denver]

The One Show did a beautiful tribute

[GiRTh]

RIP Babs. A legend.

BBC1HD 7:35PM - 9PM "Babs"

Special programme.

[Kate!]

The One Show did a beautiful tribute

They did. It was very emotional. With Shane Richie and Patsy Palmer xx

[Crimson Dynamo]

as a young boy when carry on camping came out

she was a big deal

rip

[smudgie]

I loved her in Sparrows don’t sing.
R.I.P. Babs.

Can't say I agree since I was happy to call Connery an abusive **** on his death thread - although in response to this one I would say, I think people should only be judged on their own actions, not the actions of the people around them/that they choose to be around.

Some of my friends are arseholes.

Oh I'm not passing comment on what people should judge or shouldn't judge. That's up to them.

It's just using the time someone has died and their condolence thread to decide to share with the world they didn't like them is just sh*tty behaviour. At least when it comes to someone who wasn't a murderer/objectively bad person themselves, as you say. :shrug: Not to say they should pretend to like them or praise them, just move along.
