Farewell, Kathy


Have to take a moment to bid a fond farewell to "Kathy Beale", one of the original "Eastenders" characters. Anyone who has watched my favorite soap over the last 20+ years will miss the hard luck Mrs. Beale-Mitchell, finally killed off today in the latest storyline by the UK sudser. Never quite good enough for her Eastend mother-in-law, Lou; driven to distraction by her well-meaning but clueless husband Pete; traumatized by the nefarius Wilmott-Brown; stuck with the ever unpopular Ian for a son; the unwitting cause of Dirty Den's demise; the victimized wife of Phil Mitchell and tool of revenge by his brother Grant Mitchell; Best friend of Angie; and finally, content mother in distant South Africa, to Ben, her son by Phil. I'd like to think of "Kaff" and "Ange" kicking back somewhere under a palm tree finally enjoying the good life! Cheers, girls! And drat BBC America and the moron's who run it for screwing up my "Eastenders" viewing.....GRRRRRRRRR!!!!
