Peggy Mitchell has never had a good taste in men. After being involved with the likes of Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) and Harry Slater (Michael Elphick), Peggy (Babara Windsor) may have left the worst till last after marrying and last week getting back together with devious Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb).
Peggy, like Roxy (Rita Simons) must be suffering from short term memory loss, after both forgave and let manipulative Archie back into their lives. This unrealistic emotional and romantic twist comes only four months after Archie's evil past was revealed. For anyone who might not have heard about 'that' episode, on his fateful wedding night in April it was revealed that Archie had lied to eldest daughter Ronnie (Samantha Womack) about the death of her daughter but Danielle (Lauren Crace), Ronnie's 19-year-old daughter was tragically killed before there was time to repair the damage.
After lying for nineteen years I find it hard to believe that anyone with any portoin of common sense would forgive and give a second chance to Archie. Peggy and Roxy have seemed to forget about how he destroyed Ronnie's life and in even considering reuniting with him, they have shown little sensitivity or concern for Ronnie. When even Phil (Steve McFadden), who has had his fair share of dramas and romantic disasters, questions your decision and can clearly point out the more sensible and thoughtful option, you know that you might have made a mistake.
