On Leclerc's return, he accepted Bonaparte's offer of Pauline's hand in marriage and they married in 1797, having one child, and occupying the Château de Montgobert.

An interview with The Sun revealed that problems with the EastEnders storyline ( primarily Pauline's marriage to Joe Macer ) was the main cause for her departure.

Upon discovering Pauline's deceit, he rebuked her with, " Please understand, Madame, that there is no princess snub to Pauline's newly assumed princely status through her August marriage where I am.

The marriage, however, did nothing to dampen Pauline's sexual adventures, including an affair with the violinist Niccolò Paganini.

Their religious ceremony was held on the same day as her sister Pauline's marriage to general Victor-Emmanuel Leclerc.

Pauline's marriage to the downtrodden Arthur was central to the character for the first eleven years of the programme, culminating with his screen death in 1996.

Within the storyline, just two months after the wedding, Pauline's marriage is shown to sour after she discovers Joe's criminal past.

" The resulting row sees Joe insult Pauline's family — suggesting that her " perfect marriage " with Arthur was " nothing but a fantasy " and branding Mark " diseased ", Michelle a " scrubber " and Arthur a " con "— to which Pauline responds by smashing a plate over his head.

It is later revealed that the killing blow had actually come from Pauline's husband Joe, who breaks down and confesses to Dot that he had rowed with Pauline on Christmas Day ( off-screen ) and, in a fury, struck her across the head with a frying pan, causing a brain haemorrhage that claimed her life.

This included Martin, Sonia, and Joe, who is dramatically killed off after confessing to Pauline's murder, by falling out of the Fowlers ' first floor window while trying to apprehend a hysterical Dot.

Martin is frantic, but days later Sonia returns and she is arrested on a murder charge ; however, that same night Dot uncovers the identity of Pauline's real murderer — Pauline's husband Joe Macer ( Ray Brooks ), who had argued with Pauline on Christmas Day and struck her over her head, causing her death.

In the storyline, Pauline dies in suspicious circumstances and Sonia is blamed for killing her, although Sonia is eventually vindicated when Pauline's husband Joe Macer ( Ray Brooks ) admits to manslaughter.

Pauline's writing career that led to " Dear Abby " began in January 1956 when she was 37 and new to the Greater San Francisco Area.

In a postscript it is revealed that the next day Pauline's diary was found, in which the plan for the murder had been outlined.

She had a tendency to back people of very little or no principle and their causes, such as businessman Frank Bennett, whom her husband had worked for, but resigned from his job, due to his unethical means ( he had been involved in a school land swindle that Peter was trying to stop ); also backing her Aunt Pauline's divorce ; and backing an embezzler named Bryan Fuller, who was also enamored of Aunt Pauline.

The climate was taking its toll on Pauline's health.

In Pauline's absence Christine becomes a regular visitor to Albert Square, and she was becomes very fond of Arthur.

Wendy Richard announced Pauline's retirement from the serial in July 2006, and the character was killed off in a " whodunnit?

However, in July 2006, Wendy Richard announced that she was leaving EastEnders ; she quit due to " creative differences " with the show's producers regarding Pauline's remarriage, which she felt was " disloyal " to her character's beloved first husband, Arthur.

The Christmas Day episodes, written by Simon Ashdown, drew on the show's early history to mark the occasion of Pauline's exit, which was particularly emphasised by the use of flashback vocal snippets of several members of Pauline's deceased family.

Although it had been suggested that Pauline's presence in EastEnders was largely peripheral for some time, the news of her departure in 2006 was met with dismay by fans and soap journalists alike.

" BBC controller of continuing drama, John Yorke, commented Richard " occupies a huge place in people's hearts ", and executive producer Kate Harwood said, " For many years Wendy simply was EastEnders for the audience and Pauline's indomitable nature typified the grit and fight that embodies the EastEnders spirit ... We thank her for everything she has done for the show.

Pauline's exit in December 2006 was described by The Times critic, Tim Teeman, as a landmark episode and a " significant sayonara ".

" Conversely, Pauline's exit was described as a " mess " by Kevin O ' Sullivan, critic of the Sunday Mirror newspaper.

To mark Pauline's 22 year reign in EastEnders, Wendy Richard was awarded with a ' Lifetime Achievement ' award at the British Soap Awards in May 2007.

Jeanne wrote and produced Pauline's shows ; Pauline was the radio show host.

Pauline's first child was Sophie ( 1857 – 1941 ); her second daughter, Pascaline ( b. 1862 ), married Count George of ' Waldstein ', an insane and alcoholic Czech aristocrat who was said to have murdered her in delirium in Duchcov ( today in the Czech Republic ) in 1890.

Pauline's original character outline as written by Smith and Holland appears in an abridged form in their book, EastEnders: The Inside Story.

She has spoken of her disappointment regarding Pauline's " changing character " and " depressing final storyline ".

They were changing Pauline's character ... Pauline would never have remarried.

" The character made her reappearance in January 2003, turning up unexpectedly at her grandmother Pauline's ( Wendy Richard ) house.

Despite Susan and Pauline's efforts to derail any new romances in Peter's life, he eventually remarried two more times.

After the family's announcement of Pauline's illness, Jeanne assumed the pen name Abigail Van Buren ; from 1987 until her mother's retirement, Jeanne had been co-writing the column with her mother.

Pauline's relationship with her mother becomes increasingly hostile and the two fight constantly.

When that plan becomes impossible, the two begin to talk about murdering Pauline's mother, Honora, as they see her as the primary obstacle to their remaining together.

Jackson and Walsh also read Pauline's diary, in which she made daily entries documenting her friendship with Juliet Hulme and events throughout their relationship.

All of Pauline's voiceovers are excerpts from her journal entries.

That morning Honora had gone for a walk through Victoria Park with her daughter Pauline Parker, and Pauline's best friend, Juliet Hulme.

She finds her old boyfriend in her bed when she gets home, and goes back to her sister's apartment, where she finds the door open and Pauline's dismembered body.

Pauline's desire to live in a converted building see her and George convert some pigsties.

They lived at Number 45 Albert Square with their three children ; Mark ( David Scarboro and Todd Carty ), Michelle ( Susan Tully ) and Martin ( Jon Peyton Price and James Alexandrou ) as well as Pauline's mother Lou ( Anna Wing ), until her death in 1988.

On 12 June 2007, after Pauline's death, Dot Cotton ( June Brown ) and Ian Beale ( Adam Woodyatt ) bury her ashes at Arthur's grave, leaving them together again.

Mark takes her in and they begin a relationship, much to Pauline's despair.
