Talk:Glenda Mitchell

Glenda and Archie's wedding
Both articles have said for some time that they married in 1972, however this was not sourced. Where did this date come from? Today, Ronnie said Glenda's wedding dress was "more than four decades old" meaning they married before 19 July 1970. Anemone Projectors  21:54, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * When did Archie say they married in 1968? Anemone  Projectors  01:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * He showed Phil a picture of him and Glenda, newly-married, at a party with Peggy and Eric and Eric's fiance. Glenda was in her late teens (sixteen or seventeen). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.235.66 (talk) 13:14, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * So did he say the year 1968? Or was it shown on the picture somehow? I just think this would have been added to Archie's article at the time. Anemone  Projectors  13:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I recall Glenda saying 1972. Perhaps we could find some catchup episodes? -- GSorby  Chat with Me! 13:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * People kept adding 1972 but she never said they married in 1972. The evidence we have is that her wedding dress was over 4 decades old (meaning they married in 1970 or before) and apparently on 9 November 2010, Glenda said her wedding car was a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, which means they can't have married before 1972. So either the writers made a mistake or something was a lie. Which is why I think it's best not to put any year. Anemone  Projectors  18:30, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

2016: Has Glenda not left?
Some people are saying she hasn't gone yet, is this accurate? Anemone Projectors  22:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Reply to self: she had gone, but she returned twice. anemone  projectors  12:11, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Should Sean O'Connor be listed as an introducer?
Does the "breaks of duration" rule apply to introducers (never discussed) or just to character durations (per current consensus)? Sean brought Glenda back completely separately from Dominic Treadwell-Collins. anemone projectors  14:15, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I would add O'Connor, he reintroduced the character and not DTC (well, the second time anyway) so should be credited. Soaper1234 (talk) 17:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Doesn't the following need a footnote as well as further clarification?
The following quote. from the opening paragraph, has a couple of issues, I believe: "She was axed in February 2011 and departed on 8 March 2011."

Firstly, there's no citation to cover either of these dates.

Second, I have an issue with the vague use of "She" which could refer to the character Glynis Barber played, to Barber herself, and/or to both character and actress. I wanted to go with a clearcut reference to the actress vs. the character, but that meant I needed to know whether Barber gave notice she was leaving or she was given notice by the producers and, if possible, why they had done so. So far, I haven't been able to find what seems to me a definitive source which can be cited.

Third, shouldn't "axed" (which certainly implies the producers decided to let Barber go) be replaced with something less slangy? Still, to make that edit, one has to know what happened -- or be comfortable in stating that it is unclear precisely what happened, but the outcome was that the character of Glenda Mitchell appeared last on a given date. Again, this leads back to the point above: why did Barber leave EastEnders in 2011? I will continue to look for a reliable source, but thought I'd bring this up.

This is my first post to the Talk forum; I hope I made sense.Jskoch2022 (talk) 20:29, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
