4. Anita Dobson (Angie Watts in EastEnders) – THEN
Angie Watts was one of the OG EastEnders characters who was best known for her voluminous perm, cheeky humour and of course her disastrous relationship with Dirty Den which sent the character into a spiralling alcohol addiction.
Actress Anita Dobson made the decision to leave the soap in 1988 at which point the character was written out of the show. It was revealed fourteen years later that the character had passed away from cirrhosis of the liver.
Since her exit from the show, Anita has appeared in Red Dwarf, Rab C. Nesbitt and Split Ends. What you might not have known is that the actress spent a number of years performing on stage and trying to make it as a singer which had varying levels of success.
