TRAGIC PAULINE GETS BRAIN TUMOUR
EXCLUSIVE
By Suzanne Kerins
PAULINE Fowler is to be killed off in EastEnders after developing an "inoperable brain tumour".
The Albert Square battleaxe, played by Wendy Richard, will die on Christmas Day.
Bosses are desperate to keep the details of the storyline under wraps. But the Sunday Mirror can reveal Pauline - who has worked in the launderette throughout her time on the soap - will NOT die from the brain tumour.
Instead scriptwriters are working on an even more dramatic finale.
A TV source said: "Pauline finds out she has this tumour. But, although it is terminal, that is not how she passes away." The insider added that, even before learning of the tumour, Pauline survives a house fire.
Wendy, 63, announced she was quitting the show earlier this year. She is one of the last of the original cast still left, along with Adam Woodyatt and June Brown.
That house fire could be what the secret filming was a few days ago, hmm who's house?
Obviously it could be Paulines, or the Vic?
