when everyone was crying I think that was genuine tears cause she was a great woman aswell as an actress and the EastEnders set probably wasn't as fun without her 😭
I remember watching this, I literally and mentally braced myself till the end of the episode. It was moving how Pat and David reconciled before she died.
I remember that when she was going I ran upstairs and burst out crying. It was so sad I like to think that this is how my nan went when she died in the nursing home that she was only in for three days. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😿😿😿😿😿😿😿
This episode aired during my first Christmas without my nan, who died of cancer in 2011. No TV or film death will ever get to me like this one. One of the first times I accepted that she was gone forever was watching this 💔
I have so much respect for eastenders writers for putting in the I'm scared line because I feel like dying people are always portrayed by the media as being not afraid and careless towards death almost like its wrong to be scared
I think they should bring back pan st Clements just before Peggy dies Peggy should close her eyes and she could be walking through an empty square pull herself a pint at the vic and then meets pat and they go into the light together that would make anyone cry
When Pat died, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue watching EastEnders anymore. It just didn't feel the same when a lot of the old favourites were either leaving Walford or being killed off. Not to mention Pam St. Clement didn't even want Pat to be killed off. And I was starting to find the show depressing too. When Ben murdered Heather (a character I was starting to like) just 2 months after Pat died, that's when I decided to say goodbye to EastEnders forever. But not before Ben was caught and went back to prison (which meant I had to carry on watching for another 5 months).
how did she die? i stopped watching eastenders in 2011 & i've been looking at different eastenders videos to see whats been happening since i left, and came across this one but not sure how? did she have cancer?
***** On 7 July 2011, it was announced that St. Clement had quit EastEnders.The actress revealed that she wanted to try other things, saying "I have enjoyed 25 and a half wonderful years in EastEnders creating the character of Pat but feel it's time to hang up her earrings. Leaving the EastEnders 'family' will be akin to a bereavement. But I'm looking forward to the other work and life opportunities that I will have the time to pursue." Pat will leave later in the year and executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said her departure would be a "fitting" storyline. Pat's son David Wicks returned for her departure storyline.[15] Pat will be killed off in the special New Year's Day episode. St. Clement said she was pleased for a dramatic exit. She told The Sun: "They didn't just want me to say ta-ta and get on the No 30 bus because that wouldn't do me justice. They wanted something dramatic, a fitting tribute to the character." She said that the loss of Peggy, Pauline and herself will spell the end of the EastEnders "matriarchs". She added: "A trio of people all of the same age leaving does leave a gap. Who is next in the age line? There isn't anyone."[16] On 31 December 2011, it was announced that Pat will be getting her own exit theme. EastEnders music composer Simon May reworked the tune to create "Pat's Theme". An EastEnders insider told Digital Spy: "It's only right that as we say goodbye to the iconic Pat Evans we pay tribute to such a character with a wonderfully touching special theme tune. As we say farewell to a legend of over 26 years, we welcome in what will be a truly remarkable New Year in E20 by adding the Olympic Park into the opening title sequence."[17] Barbara Windsor who played Peggy Mitchell predicted that Pat will be "sorely missed" by fans. Speaking of Pat's exit, Windsor told This Morning: "Oh, I can't bear it - Pam! And she will be sorely missed - more than I was missed in the show, because she could go to anybody - any family she could go into. I am devastated." She definitely wanted to leave, but I don't know if she wanted to be killed off - that's the chance you have to take," Windsor continued. "I was positive that I was going to go up in a load of flames with The Vic - I thought that was going to happen, but of course it didn't. With Pam, I was very, very surprised, because she could always go back. But she's accepted it now and she'll have a new life."[18] St. Clement stated that she didn't want her character to die, but said her final scenes were "fantastic". St. Clement commented: "Simon Ashdown had this idea for the character, which fitted in with her history in a sense," she explained. "They said, 'This is how we'd like it to happen - we think it's a fitting end and tribute to the character'. And as far as I can say, I read the script and I thought, 'Oh, this is fantastic - it's every actor's dream'. And I have to say, it also challenged me in a way that I hadn't been challenged. It was moving, it was challenging and it was a script that I needed to get my teeth into. The script, the performances, the direction - it all turned out to be a fantastic ensemble piece, if you like… Everybody was pulling in, everybody was doing the most wonderful performances and it was fantastic."[19] St. Clement said she was "moved" by the Farewell Pat tribute. Speaking on Daybreak, St. Clement explained: "I wasn't going to watch [the final episode] with anybody - I was going to record it and then watch it in a darkened room somewhere, where I could be terribly critical and jump about saying, 'Stupid woman - why did you play it like that?' But everybody said, 'Oh no, sit down'. I said, 'I don't want to disturb you all' - but I did make myself behave! And I was quite dispassionate, actually. The strange thing is, after I read the script, I was very moved by it. But as soon as I started working on it, I think everybody did start getting quite emotional - but I couldn't. Even about myself leaving - people in the cast would come up and say, 'How do you feel?' and I'd say, 'I can't go there, I can't think about that, because the work's not finished'. The strange thing is, the only thing that moved me was the Farewell Pat programme. Which is strange, but I suppose that was personal in a sense." Also, St. Clement explained the experience of filming her final episode. She added: "It was a great challenge, that script," she commented. "I looked at it and thought, 'Oh, heck, how do I give light and shade to something where somebody is actually dying?' And some of the scenes could have been interpreted as being somewhat similar with Janine and David. So I had to make them different - but I had to make them different within the confines of the illness."[20] It was later confirmed that EastEnders will air a special tribute episode to Pat after her funeral episode on 13 January 2012.[21] An EastEnders insider commented: "Pat is EastEnders - she was the heart and soul of the show and bosses have pulled out all the stops for her funeral. Not only is the episode extra long, with plenty of nods to the iconic lady, it really is the end of the earring. We are hoping that everyone dons their biggest and tackiest earrings to mark one of the saddest days in the history of Walford."[21] Co-star Lindsey Coulson said that Pat's departure was a "real-loss".[22] She told This Morning: "They were really difficult scenes to play, because we didn't want Pam to leave," Coulson explained. "So apart from not wanting to lose the wonderful character of Pat, we were mourning the loss of Pam. "You don't see everybody all the time [at EastEnders] at all, and sometimes you can go for months without seeing somebody. And most of the time you're on this big wheel and when people leave, you go, 'Oh, that's really sad', but you get back on. But actually Pam is a real loss up there."[22]

Charlie brooks just looks like Rosmenud pike just looking at her 😀
technically its not a new theme for pat, its just the eastenders theme played on piano, still powerful tho
how did she die? i stopped watching eastenders in 2011 & i've been looking at different eastenders videos to see whats been happening since i left, and came across this one but not sure how? did she have cancer?
From what I remember, she had cancer and by the time it was discovered, it was already too late.

She had pancreatic cancer which turned out to be terminal.
Rip Pat
This gave me depression
@soapfunclassics Where?
I love you mum lost and lost
2:05 why did they have to do the song like that??? 😭😭
I was so upset I coudent look at the tv
So sad
😥😥😥💚.
they should do something similar to this for peggy
Why is Janine crying ? I thought she always hated Pat
BECAUSE SHE DIED WHO WOULDNT BE SAD IF SOMEONE YOU KNEW AND WAS CLOSE 2 YOU DIED???
Erm this is Janine we are talking about it . She's a person who's murdered people .
She made peace with Pat moments before she died.
Janine is complicated, she is cruel to the people close to her but I think she always liked Pat.
She didn't hate Pat she was like a mum to her😔💔.
Why did they kill of both Pat and Peggy?
It was what the actresses wanted.
It’s disgusting to think that Bianca married her step uncle.
