Exclusive: In Video: First-look 'EastEnders' clip

 |  By
The Christmas Day death of EastEnders' matriarch Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richard) knocked the Square for six - and none more so than the battleaxe's best friend Dot Branning (June Brown).

But launderette owner Mr Papadopolous looks to have found a replacement.

In our exclusive clip, a stand-in Bulgarian worker gets herself in one almighty lather, leaving Dot hanging out to dry.

An insider told DS: "Dot finally thought she'd have a lighter load on her hands when Pauline's replacement turns up, but she doesn't quite live up to Dot's expectations..."

The scene is to air at the end of the month.
