Legendary actress June Brown will always be remembered for her time as soap icon Dot Cotton on EastEnders. Sadly, the 95 year old will not return to the series again as she passed away on Sunday night (3 March).

June opened up about her decision to leave the show on Distinct Nostalgia podcast in February 2020. She admitted: "I don't want a retainer. I've left.
I've left for good. I've sent myself to Ireland and that's 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. “Well that is no joke. 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." Her co-star, John Altman who played her onscreen son, Nick Cotton admitted at the time that June had disclosed her reasons for leaving. "I spoke to her obviously [and] I don't want to quote her but I think generally, bless her heart, she's 93 number one, so she does get very tired these days," he told The Sun in April 2020.
