Creation and casting
The creation of a second wife for Den Watts (Leslie Grantham), the show’s “most enduring character” and “one of the best-loved villains in soap history”, came 15 years after his first wife had departed the screen. Angie Watts (Anita Dobson) was an iconic character in British television history, with her troublesome marriage to Den largely anchoring EastEnders extraordinary success when it was launched in the mid-80s.
