Back in 2017.
[EastEnders and The Bill star
Roberta Taylor dies at the age of 76
after an infection caused by a fall - as devastated
fans pay tribute]
[Her EastEnders stint began in 1997,
when she arrived in Walford as
the matriarch of the Hills family,
visiting her children
Sarah (Daniela Denby-Ashe) and
Tony (Mark Homer).
During her three-year stint on the soap,
Roberta's character Irene had a string
of love interests, including Terry Raymond
(Gavin Richards), as well as a steamy affair
with her lodger Troy Harvey (Jamie Jarvis).
After three years in EastEnders,
Roberta decided to leave the soap, and told
The Mirror at the time: 'I was always thinking,
'When can I learn my lines?'
I gave over much of my life to the show
and if I was to carry on at such a pace I'd
have to continue to put my life on hold.]
