Eastenders actress Patsy Palmer has revealed that she was bullied as a child because of the colour of her hair.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat Palmer admitted:

Last I heard Ricky Butcher was engaged to Sam Mitchell. But things change quickly in Walford and by this Christmas he will be betrothed to mouthy Bianca Jackson instead.
Ricky and Bianca realise their true feelings for one another after Sam quits the square next month. Their affair and lead up to the wedding will be the focus of a spin off DVD to celebrate the shows 25th anniversary.
Yes, before it’s even happened, that’s the question that we all want the answer to. And we want to know who you reckon dunnit, or rather, will do it.
There are of course no shortage of contenders; Ronnie, Peggy, Phil, Janine, Ryan – who might do it out of jealousy – maybe even Roxy. Or perhaps a total surprise hitter might be Archie’s ex-wife Glenda – played by Glynis Barber – who’s due to appear in January.
We already know that Archie’s to be murdered on Christmas Day and his killer’s name revealed during the show’s 25th anniversary live episode in February, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that she might bump him off… Read more & comment »

On Monday, as Peggy pins up a ‘Happy Hour’ poster outside the Vic, she spots Archie watching her. Returning inside, Peggy asks Roxy if she can be around for the brewery delivery. Roxy agrees while Sam tries to pin up a banner. With that, a drenched Roxy runs down the stairs shouting for Ronnie, saying the kitchen pipes have burst. Peggy’s unhappy that her ‘happy hour’ can’t now go ahead, but Ronnie assures her that it can.
Owen walks by and claims that he’s a qualified plumber, but Ronnie’s dismissive of him. Peggy, however, invites him in to survey the mess, and as he does, Ronnie hands him the tools he needs and he questions her coldness towards him. Ronnie says that what he did to Libby is no secret, and after she jokes about throwing him out, he admits that he’s previously attempted to commit suicide.
Later, Roxy asks Owen to look at one of the beer pumps, and when Denise walks in to talk about her wedding reception plans – and sees him behind the bar – she angrily questions why he’s there. Frustrated by Denise’s attitude, Owen irritably returns to the job at hand, splitting a beer pipe in the process. Read more & comment »
