Why she might be annoying:

    Her hit single ‘Anyone Can Fall in Love’ was based on the ‘EastEnders’ theme song.
    Her starring vehicle, the sitcom ‘Split Ends,’ lasted only one season (1989).
    She started a relationship with May while he was married to his first wife and called herself ‘the scarlet woman.’
    Because she refused to return to ‘EastEnders,’ her character was eventually killed offscreen.

Why she might not be annoying:

    At the height of her ‘EastEnders’ fame, she was second only to Princess Di as the most-photographed woman in the UK.
    She won a TV Times award as Best Actress for ‘EastEnders.’
    Asked why she would not return to ‘EastEnders,’ she replied, ‘Why tarnish the gorgeous creation that was Angie Watts?’
    She appeared in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor.’ (2012)
