For over two decades, Pam starred in the show as Pat Butcher, before the character’s death aired on New Year’s Day in 2012.

She’s now revealed that, while she still regularly keeps up with ‘EastEnders’, she doesn’t always understand exactly what’s going on, with the soap’s many twists and turns.

Pam tells The Mirror: “I still watch it but it’s difficult to keep up. I think I have a rotting brain.”

Although her former co-star Barbara Windsor claimed at the time of Pam’s departure from ‘EastEnders’ that she hadn’t wanted her character to be killed off, she’s also now admitted the benefits that come from not being in Albert Square.

She adds: “It’s amazing not to have that relentless schedule. It’s honestly delightful.

“I’ve got time for charity and for travel, I love it and I’ve got time to work, the only pity is I can’t manage all the things I’m offered – everyone’s used to me being on screen permanently.”

Let’s hope Pam can keep up this New Year, as ‘EastEnders’ have a jam-packed double bill planned that is sure to leave fans stunned.

Mick and Linda Carter’s much-awaited wedding day is finally here, but a quiet one was never exactly going to be on the cards, with an underwater brawl between the Queen Vic landlord and his nephew, Dean Carter, to look forward to.

Living legend Barbara Windsor has made numerous visits to Albert Square since officially leaving. She'll be back for live week, and fingers crossed there'll be a chance for the Queen Vic's most memorable landlady to yell that line again: "Get outta ma pub!" (credit:BBC )
Chrissie Watts (Tracey Ann Oberman, 2004-05)(04 of12)

After years of bullying Angie, Den Watts finally met his match in Chrissie, who gave as good as she got. Until murdering him, obviously. Sadly, she coudn't plan a good enough getaway, and was stopped by police as she prepared to board a flight. (credit:BBC )
Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks, 1999-2014)(05 of12)

Janine terrorised everyone from Billy Mitchell and Ian Beale, to Alice Branning, during her time in Walford. After inheriting millions, Janine became even more infuriatingly smug, but karma hit back and when she finally fell for Michael Moon, things didn't end well. (credit:BBC )
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright, 2014-Present)(06 of12)

She may be the newest of the bunch, but Kellie's character hasn't had it easy since moving into The Vic. While Linda has done her best to hold together the Carters, she's had a rough time, suffering a horrific assault at the hands of her brother-in-law, and acting as peacekeeper during the family's many feuds. Can she hold things together? (credit:BBC )

Pauline was the original 'EastEnders' matriach, and there wasn't a problem she couldn't fix. Sadly, actress Wendy died in 2009, following a battle with breast cancer. (credit:BBC )

Cora's dry sense of humour and witty putdowns manage to inspire giggles during even the most torturous scenes. As mother to Tanya and Rainie, she certainly has more than her fair shares of problems. (credit:BBC )

Jane is the longest-serving member of the cast, y'know. Bravo to Tracey for managing not to chip in during all those rows... (credit:BBC )
