EastEnders fans have said they are 'disappointed' after the BBC One soap failed to dedicate Tuesday's episode to Sandy Ratcliff.
The actress - who died on Sunday aged 70 and had largely disappeared from the public eye - spent four years on Albert Square between 1985 and 1989, and was one of the long-running show's original cast members.
Many viewers took to Twitter to ask why the show did not feature a tribute to Sandy following the credits, as has been done before with stars such as Leslie Grantham, who passed away in June 2018.
