Goodbye Den

I'll apologise now for those who don't watch Eastenders, and for those who frankly don't give a damn. You might want to skip this blog.
Last night saw the dramatic ending to Dirty Den's life in the square, again. How many times can this man die? First he was shot by the daffodils by the canal, and disappeared for 14 years. Then he came back, apparently having faked his first death. Then he was hit over the head by Zoe with a dog shaped door stop, and we all thought he was dead. Then miraculously he came alive AGAIN, before being hit over the head for the final time by his wife, once again with the door stop, and Dirty Den was no more.
I don't think Eastenders will be the same without him and his 'allo princess.' I mean, ok, the actor was dirty and did that weird finger licking thing on that internet sex site, but still, he was a bit of an icon. And he was a ratings puller, even after his sex scandal stories hit the headlines.
They are supposed to be burying him under the Queen Vic, so I am guessing that there won't be a chance to fake his own death this time. Presumably there won't be any more mix ups. However, this being Eastenders and Soap world, there is always the chance that he could once again rise from the dead. I mean, he has done this twice now, what's stopping him the third time.
Fingers crossed.
Rest in peace Dirty Den, Rest in Peace.
