Michelle Collins insists soaps give opportunities to actresses 'of a certain age' while Jessie Wallace hits back at TV 'snobbery' as the women of Walford celebrate EastEnders' 40th Anniversary


To celebrate the milestone, Radio Times has released seven different covers featuring the iconic women who star in the BBC soap.

The other stars featuring on the Radio Times special covers are Gillian Taylforth (Kathy Beale), Diane Parish (Denise Fox), Kellie Bright (Linda Carter), Balvinder Sopal (Suki Panesar-Unwin), and Letitia Dean (Sharon Watts). Special appearances from EastEnders legends Anita Dobson and Pam St Clement will also be featured, with the original landlady taking a trip down memory lane alongside her on-screen daughter. 'It has been a privilege to work with the legend that is Ross Kemp and an honour to spend time in Walford, revealing a never before seen side of Albert Square, forging emotional family reunions, and exploring the impact its residents have and continue to have beyond E20.'
