EastEnders - Anita - 18th Oct

Anita Dobson, best known for her role as Angie Watts on EastEnders, has landed a new role 36 years after leaving Walford. And it’s not what fans of the actress must have expected, but it is an exciting opportunity. Dobson has transformed herself into a zombie killer for her latest gig in Channel 4’s series – so much so that fans might not even recognise her. Keep scrolling to know more about it.

EastEnders - Angie Watts - 18th Oct
ES/Anita Portrayed The Role Of Angie For Three Years

EastEnders actress Anita, who left the longest-running soap almost four decades ago, will now star in a terrifying new role on Channel 4’s Generation Z. She looks totally unrecognisable in her terrifying new role, and we are all here for it. Anita became a household name after playing Angie Watts for three years during the 1980s. She was known for her big hair and even bigger personality; she was the alcoholic friend of Walford residents.

And now, the tables have turned, and how—her new gig as a zombie killer has left many fans stunned. The soap icon will not star in a six-part miniseries premiering on Sunday, October 27, 2024, on Channel 4. According to reports, the series takes a swipe at the current state of post-Brexit Britain. The programme follows a group of young people as they attempt to survive a zombie apocalypse caused by an army convoy carrying a toxic substance.

The ensuing chemical leak turns OAPs into flesh-eating Zombies that attack younger people from the town. Furthermore, the dark comics series was filmed in Wales last year and will see Anita take on the role of Nan Janine. Along with the soap star, Sue Johnston and Paul Bentall, famed for his role in The World’s End, will also be seen in the upcoming series as Cecily and Frank.

As for Anita and her 40-year-career, she has appeared in Red Dwarf and Casualty, as well as musicals including Wicked and Annie. We sure miss her in Walford and would love to see her again!
