Default June Brown has quit EastEnders as Dot Cotton
Quote:
EASTENDERS legend June Brown says she has quit after 35 years as chain-smoking hypochondriac Dot Cotton after being disappointed by her recent storylines.

The 93-year-old telly favourite said she turned down the chance of a retainer contract but admitted: “It’s almost as if I’ve been bereaved.”

Arguably the soap’s best-known remaining cast member, her character had not been since last month when she left a voicemail for Sonia Fowler, played by Natalie Cassidy, 36, saying she had moved to Ireland.

June has now 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’ve left EastEnders. 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.

“I got a small part, a very small part. And that ended up as a big wet fart. Alas and alack, I will never go back.”

The veteran actress has been a regular in Albert Square since just after the BBC1 soap began in 1985, apart from a break between 1993 and 1997. She also took six months off in 2012 to pen her autobiography.
Don’t feel good about linking The Sun so I’ve removed the link but felt this was a big news story. Not giving the tabloids the clicks anymore!

A shame that of all the people to have been in the show, after all those years, not to get a final storyline.

In all honesty I think leaving Dot in Ireland is fine, I'd hate to see a Peggy rehash and watch Dot suffer, leaving her happy with family seems really nice after all she's been through.

I think she is the right person for a peaceful exit like that. What was her last storyline?

I don't think Dot needs an exit storyline tbh. With her being 93 irl it just makes sense that she moves away and dies offscreen since June is likely to follow suit shortly after. Killing her off would be too insensitive to the fact that June is so close to death herself~

I love her character as Dot, but she probably wants to take it easy at her age and enjoy other things, will miss her though.

Haven’t watched EastEnders for a long time but it’s sad that she's leaving the show.

Thrown her toys out of the pram because she didn’t get a main storyline? Bye, she’s not needed anyway, she hasn’t been good since she bumped off Nick

The disrespect for Dorothy Cotton is shameful.

She's been doing her thing as Dot, longer than most you have been alive.
