EastEnders veteran actor John Bardon is to bow out of Walford. The 71-year-old plays Dot’s husband Jim Branning and is shown on the show being taken into care.
John – who suffered a stroke in June 2007 – has already recorded the emotional scenes of his departure, which will be televised in May, and it was a tough moment for the cast and crew.
Dot, played by June Brown, 84, hugs her husband as they’re parted for good.
‘Dot’s been struggling for a while and realises that she can no longer give Jim the care and attention he deserves,’ reveals an EastEnders mole.
