Special treat after Friday night's episode
We'll all be tuning in to say our farewells to Pat in a special 40 minute episode on Friday 13th, as the residents of Albert Square lay to rest a Walford legend.
Make sure to keep watching 'til the very end, because there will be a special treat after the credits roll to honour the passing of an icon.
So don your biggest earrings in tribute, and make sure you don't miss this very special and significant moment.
Leading us to... theories please! What do you think it's going to be??

I hope it's something surreal! EastEnders never do anything like that, so it would be special as a tribute to an iconic character. Maybe Pat walking across the square, happily (like she use to) and just smiling... that would be rather touching!

I can`t guess what the surprise will be but I hope it`s a fitting goodbye for Pam St Clements, a talented actress. I doubt that it will have been a dream & Pat will still be around.

I think Peggy's coming back though! (or rather I hope she is), but I'm sure we'd already know if Barbara Windor was planning a return :( x

Bianca's stupid not to forgive Ricky for something that happened before he married her - she was the same with Sam's baby in 2010. It's not as if she been the ever faithful wife herself - she cheated on Ricky (twice I think) the first time they were married.

I was madly in love with him when he was a main character! I would have loved to have seen him stay and for him and Carol to finally make a go of it. Tonights episode was excellent, apart from Derek. I admire the actor who plays him, but the character is not believable, in my opinion at least. Bring back David please. And Simon!

It would be nice to see them put their past squabbles to rest and hang about for a while. Derek is a real bullyboy, I dont like His character; and making out He's Mr Big when all He is (is an overweight slob). He's repulsive, and it's a cringe to watch Him. He's the one that needs to be taught a lesson, His attitude stinks. Grant Mitchell would sort Him.
Bianca is pathetic for letting a dead baby from years ago spoil Her relationship with Ricky.
Last nights episode was spoilt due to Derek, and Bianca.

Great to see the return of Simon at the end though. Was this just a cameo role or is he returning for a while? A shame he didn't arrive earlier to see Pat when she was alive. Another great episode.

I was so happy to see him and Carol get back together but really sad to see how it ended on Friday. I would have liked David to stay because Michael French is a fantastic actor, but also because I want to see Carol actually have some happiness. So I hope the rumour of him coming back in March is true. If I am brutally honest, I am not enjoying the return of Derek Branning and it's this character in particular that's making me want to turn off Eastenders. I appreciate that he's a good actor but he's rubbing me up the wrong way and I find the whole Derek Branning thing a massive turn off. He is a mistake!

You can easily recognise Pat deeply regrets how she brought those Kids up and in the end they are as bad as she was breifly. They are the terrible people not her. x
