Although EastEnders is the one I've ever watched and liked the most, in my opinion, it did go too far when they killed off Pauline Fowler. The fact that she was a favourite character of mine wasn't the reason, for I realise that I can't stop the writers from killing off their characters and in the end, it was Wendy Richard's choice to quit EastEnders, but it was in fact the way she died and the aftermath. Pauline didn't get a proper send off and the who-dunnit plot ruined it for us viewers.
