Have you ever been doing the washing up and suddenly remembered something your gran said years ago? That’s exactly what this could be for the residents of Albert Square.
Pam St Clement to return to EastEnders as Pat Butcher in dementia
Picture Bianca having a massive row with someone. Then bang, she sees Pat in the corner of the laundrette. It would be like your own conscience wearing a feather boa and a pearl necklace.
It’s the same as when you’re cleaning out the cupboard and find your mum’s old recipe book. The memories flood back, and suddenly you’re laughing and crying at the same time. That’s the power of Pat Butcher.
The Joy of a Good Surprise
Let’s be honest, life is full of rubbish surprises. A flat tyre, a forgotten birthday, a bill you didn’t see coming. A surprise return from Pat Butcher would be the opposite of all that.
It would be like finding a tenner in your winter coat. Or bumping into an old friend at the supermarket when you’re having a rubbish day. It’s unexpected, brilliant, and instantly lifts your mood.
You’d probably shout at the telly. Something like “Oh my god, it’s her!” while spilling your crisps everywhere. That’s the kind of joy we need more of in the world.
