Dot visits her old friend, Dr Legg
SHE GOES TO SEE HER OLD FRIEND AS SHE WORRIES ABOUT HER HEALTH…
Dot returns from her trip to Ireland this week, but there are soon grave concerns over her health. So, wary of the advice she gets from her local GP, Dot goes to visit the one man she trusts – Dr Legg!
Having being away from Albert Square visiting her grandson Charlie and greatgrandson Matthew, Dot’s homecoming is a cause of celebration among her family and friends. However, Sonia is soon feeling anxious about Dot’s wellbeing. Sensing that something might be wrong, Sonia asks Dot straight out, and the older woman admits that she’s been having some funny turns. After giving her a superficial check-up, Sonia advises Dot to make an appointment with a doctor.
“Dot has always been a bit stubborn,” chuckles our Walford mole. “However, she knows that Sonia won’t stop worrying until she gets herself checked out properly. Once she’s sitting alone in the doctors’ waiting room, though, viewers will be able to see that Dot is extremely apprehensive herself. Is there something she’s not telling everyone?”
After Dot is safely back home, Jack stops by to check in on his stepmother. Sensing her unease, he quizzes her on what’s troubling her so much, and she makes a startling confession…

When Dot arrives at Dr Legg’s home, she’s overjoyed to see him again – and the retired practitioner couldn’t be happier to see her too. After telling him of her worries, he does his best to reassure her, and the pair are soon reminiscing over old times. Dot then invites him to join her back in the Square for Robbie’s birthday party. He eagerly agrees, but he has some shocking news for her…
“Viewers will love seeing these emotional scenes between these two Walford icons,” promises our insider. “Dr Legg and Dot both first appeared in Eastenders in 1985, way back in the earliest episodes – and stars Leonard Fenton and June Brown roll back all those years as well. It’s going to be something very special indeed.”
