The end of Tiffany Mitchell - EastEnders - BBC drama

[abiarchiecat]

love u tiff xxx

[VickGibson]

Because Bianca and Tiff were bestfriends is this why she named her daughter Tiffany :) ?

[dontcryjustdance]

@VickGibson Yeah Bianca mentioned it in an episode a few years back when she returned.

[noveltybobel]

And all she's done since is the Actimel ads, lol.

[BucklandsP3]

@noveltybobel

Maybe you should research before making a fool of yourself in future. Since leaving EastEnders 13 years ago Martine had

released 3 solo albums, a number 1 single "Perfect Moment" and a further 4 top 10 singles,

Won an Olivier Award for Best Actress in 2002 for her role as Eliza Dolittle in "My Fair Lady"

Starred in 2003 xmas smash "Love Actually" as Natalie

Did numerous other TV work in dramas such as Spooks and Miss Marple

So plz get ur facts straight ok....

[noveltybobel]

W-A-T-E-V-E-R

[BucklandsP3]

@noveltybobel

As ever when one has nothing else to say

[3SanFrancisco]

Ok for everyone who didn't see it: She fell on the kerbstone and it's quite likely she broke her neck

[Tarastar1983]

@3SanFrancisco Yes I know it was the kerb that did it but it wasn't a very high kerb at all!

[shawnej454]

Ever seen that 'Hit me at 30, there's an 80% chance I'll live, hit me at 40, there's an 80% chance I'll die' advert?

That car was going no more than 15, he was pulling up to turn and it would have been a 15-20 limit. There's no way she could have died from that, I mean the head on the curb might have caused skull damage, but not enough to kill surely.

He could have at least been drunk and speeding.

[Messylin]

@shawnej454 - Tiffany already had a head injury and had just recovered from a coma (that's why she was wearing a black headband)... she was too physically weak to withstand any accident, however minor.

[eclectica1]

Hmmm...I guess this wasn't her perfect moment...

[dianavickers92]

Ahhhhh that's why Bianca named her child Tiffany !! Didn't know they were bessies!

[TheGokaigreen]

is blood in the ground from tiffany

[Colacupcake]

And so, she moved on to actimel

[XsweetstarliteX]

what year was this, i been watching eastenders for as long as i remember and i remember this so vivdly, just can't remember how old i was

[MrSistasista]

@XsweetstarliteX

December 31st 1998 so almost 13 years ago now

I feel OLD

[TheUnreaI]

Also shes still moving and they just fucking stand there hahahaha

[TheUnreaI]

cheesy

[JessieLyricsGirl]

Tiffany Will be Missed . Thought i`d look up this video because i saw her on the yogurt ad (laugh out load . )

[AnonRymal]

Don't think that hit would've killed someone in real life. He was hardly driving at speed and she tumbled over the bonnet.

[HeatherRuthDiane]

@AnonRymal She hit her head on the corner of the kerb. That would kill someone if it were hard enough.

[darkwhitty]

So they have a nice dramatic build up, you get into the characters, tensions rise. Then boom somebody gets hit by a car, no first aid? Nobody said call for an ambulance? Nobody tries to help? Everybody just gathers around and stares at her like its a foregone conclusion. She is dead so why bother helping? Bianca claims she is dead without even checking. There is even a guy who comes out of the pub still holding his drink ffs.

Now i remember why i stopped watching shows like this.

[jdt3000]

My god, Tiffany was one of Eastenders most loveable characters, she should never have been killed off...

[Delboylover1997]

I think that the midnight chimes in the background when Frank hits her makes this scene a lot more stunning! I remember it like it woz yesterday! Beautiful scene!

[TheYasminSmith]

HAPPY DAYS

not

RIP TIFFANY

[powerspyin]

there is a pattern how people get involed

2:09 Peggy

2:13 Phil

2:16 The guy on the beanch

2:17 Bianca

& at the,

2:37 Frank ends it all

[marley07ish]

can anyone tell me what music it is when tiffany walks in the pub, it was well known in the 90s but i dont know what it is

[essexbred1986]

Jamie and Danielle had also suffered the same fate as Tiffany, even Max but he got away it because Lauren who was driving was going at snail's pace. Pat herself went through the same experience as Frank just did six years previously where she unexpectedly ran down a young girl exept Pat was driving too fast and had exceeded her alcohol consumption limit.

[powerspyin]

how can you call your child IT? That is bad parenting even for tiffany!

[Wormtail96]

@powerspyin Um, I'm not sure it was the baby she was refering to.

[powerspyin]

0:18, Phil was screwing tiffany!

[Millionholes]

The chimes of Big Ben make the scene more sinful and stunning.

[EastEndersOnTV]

2:40 Goodbye Tiff :(

[HydefUK]

That was the slowest car death ever

[LightLife4]

I actually watched this episode and it became talk of the classroom after the school holidays.

[PaulEFC86]

@LightLife4 cool story brahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[LightLife4]

@PaulEFC86 No, don't knock it mate, it's true. There were a few people in my class talking about the death scene.

[gamblemadman]

@PaulEFC86 lol

[AzzarClarKyy95]

the thing i liked about this episode is when frank is driving around the square, he turns on the radio and the song that comes on is I Think Were Alone Now by the 80s teen pop star Tiffany, correct me if im wrong but that song coming on is just a bad omen, a clue that something bad was gonna happen to Tiffany!!

[mrsmeandmyself1010]

They should have never killed of Tiffany. She was like a shining star. Yes Stacey was sortof like a replacement to them I think because they were sort of similair. However if Tiffany hadn't of gone it would of been better...for me atleast

[AdArmand]

The audience never really forgave the producers for killing Tiff. I think they tried to refashion the character with Stacey, whose dramatic December exit was similarly structured, only she survived.

[tifftigershark]

my mum named me after a tiffany on eastenders :L im not sure what one but :)

tiffany is the most epic name eva ;D;D

[leelaheather]

the car barely hit her?

[MrSammysnake]

@leelaheather Thats what i was going to say lol

[TRASHoftheTITANS]

@leelaheather All the deaths are the same, another character died from being barely tapped on the head with an ashtray!

[dljc1979]

fucking lame..

[pufferfishish]

@DoctorWhoLover08 the reason why she died so easily is because she had not long been out of hospital after falling down the stairs and sustaining head injuries during an argument with Grant, so she was obviously still recovering from that.

[pufferfishish]

Peggy's hair looks like the Taj Mahal.

[xxxEastendersFanxx]

so sad! 

[seb908]

Is that ross kemp?

[xxDramaQueen125xx]

@seb908 Yeah, he played Grant.

[TheJuicyfruitx]

lol, dot has always looked the same

[jhibbitt1]

my god this was 13 years ago or was it 12

[ChrissyCream99]

@jhibbitt1

12 years ago

[goodtube77]

Martine McCutcheon teeth are falsers

[MatthewDavidParr]

:'( they are smoking in the pub... i want to go back to those days

[MatthewDavidParr]

I think it waas the head impact that killed her, you see a shot of her smacking her head.

[hipaytonhi]

why the hell is she doing some stupid activia advert she is a really good actress !! :)

[lalaloola1]

Well sure, with an impact like that how could be expected to live...

[smck2009]

massive mistake killing her off

same goes for Cindy Beale, Kathy Mitchell & Steve Owen

[LZJoZ]

Shit,son...This bring back some memories...

[Jamesreeves2007]

Id survive that! What the fuck!

[Drwhocrazy1]

that didnot happen

[whatswiththiskid]

I fucking hate Grant.

[51feeg]

December 31st 1998

[pockthehairy]

[vaimende]

@sgmlol u posted this on digital spy too didnt ya lol

[kishandalal]

eastenders woz old then like coronation street

[Goldenrod636]

Was Grant crying?

[85Jinx]

@Goldenrod636 Yeah cant belive it he hated Tiffany

[reptongeek]

Inspector Gold!!!

[dollykins100]

typicle eastenders isnt it? someone dies on a specail celebration

like christmas, new year, wedding every thing!!! you watch eastenders this christmas and tell me nothing bad is gonna happen!!!!!

[11920985]

when people leave eastenders sometimes or most of the time they go no where!!

[kale11111]

this is back when eastenders was actually good! so many important charactersss!

[Goldenrod636]

The Butcher's should really have their licenses revoked. First Frank and now Janine.

[CMPunkLiddell4LifeO9]

@Goldenrod636 Don't forget Pat.. :P

[ElectriicHeartss]

I really love how when she dies Grant's still staring at her and smiling.

[ProtestantsRUs]

Haha, worst death ever?

[nafisa02]

is that why Bianca's daughter is called Tiffany?

[85Jinx]

@nafisa02 Yeah!!

[noff27]

This was for me, someone who has followed this show from the start, the saddest moment of the show. I

[IWorshipLadySovereig]

Grant was always my fav....

[amann24]

Is that the France '98 world cup theme tune in the background?! haha

[hollh003]

2:39 she sat on the bonnet fell off and died lol her own fault really

[HotShotRuksy]

the car hardly touched tiffany

now they would go at them full wack

[EastEndersOnTV]

@HotShotRuksy Tiffany had only been out of hospital a week after suffering a blood clot in the brain. The bang to her head is what probably killed her, not the actual car hitting her itself.

[HotShotRuksy]

@EastEndersOnTV ok 

[HotShotRuksy]

was that terry raymond at start who janine lived with once

[smck2009]

@HotShotRuksy

It was Janine actually used her likeness of Tiff to mess with Terrys head I recall her even wearing one of Tiffs old dresses she found in Terrys house and wearing a hirband in her hair to mess with him.

Evil cow

[WelshGirl124]

Omg that is why Bianca called her daughter Tiffany coz they were best friends x

[katiemay14]

It must have been the hit on the head that killed her! Maybe it smashed her skull in or something!

[85Jinx]

@katiemay14 she didnt smash her skull!!! she had head surgery a few weeks before since her husband Grant pushed her down the queen vix stairs and then she had surgery on her head so her head was very fragile !!! bless her

[katiemay14]

@85Jinx Right!

[XxnikisaxX]

WTF

how could that of killed her he was going at like 5 mile per hour

[rocksoliddude1]

@XxnikisaxX frank's nose was so heavy he just bulldozered tiffany

[hollh003]

people die of the stupidist things in eastenders i mean saskia duncan died of being tapped with an ashtray and ive just seen tifany die of 3 mph pathetic tbh

[99Godzilla]

OMG! Does no one go to jail for manslaughter in this show. LOL 3:14 looks like Grant is squeezing her head like the last bit in a tube of toothpaste, LMAO!

[sweetsophierockz]

@99Godzilla That's her hood. of course its not her head :) He was squeezing her hood.

[Moskva88]

and now she's the face of activia yoghurt. should have stayed on the square, love.

[faeriebabysky]

@Moskva88 And a singter in west end shows, and had a few good selling albums and a couple of top ten singles, and many many other acting jobs including the extremely popular film "Love actually".... So maybe she shouldn't have stayed on the square eh.. love ;)

[smck2009]

@faeriebabysky

Not to mention she won an Olivier Award for her role in West End production of "My Fair Lady" in 2002 = how many other ex soap stars can say that? not many

[mrsmeandmyself1010]

@Moskva88 you are so right !!

[EmaClaire1488]

Loving the way they all just stand there looking at her ... LMAO, "Somebody call an ambulance FFS !!"

[TheMorrisseyMan]

@EmaClaire1488 LOL

[wyattsmom2001]

Wow!! Im sure in hell Im not going anywheres near Walford in Christmas/New Years time of year!! lol

[chocolatefountain95]

Peggy's hair? XD is it for real?

[Amatersaru1]

awwww i never watching it bk then hate that ginger shlagXD bianca haha

[FLASHvirtualseries]

I can just imagine her turning up in Albert Square years after with all her bags and suitcases, to visit Bianca.

[stitcha123]

the golden age of enders

[babeeshopiez123]

oh please....SHE WOULD HAVE LIVED!!!

[85Jinx]

@babeeshopiez123 yeah but she had head surgery a few weeks before so around that period her head was very fragile

[stawg007]

the car was only going like 10 mph lol

[unbanmyps3]

every mitchel girl dies buy a stupid person and there car

[chocolatefountain95]

@unbanmyps3 now I know what will happen to Ronnie Roxy and Sam

[dazrazuk]

thanks for that :)

[vaimende]

the saddest episode ever in eastenders

[85Jinx]

@paul878050 it was frank driving the car. :)

[KnJPresentations]

she doesnt look like she died

[gingerds]

who was that driving the car?

[KCH2010]

Not to worry Martine my love, come 2010 you'll be flogging yoghurt on the telly in a desperate bid to stay on the box and no one will even remember you were in Eastenders in the first place ;-)

[DshankumMusic]

that car shot looked weak

[reptongeek]

@DshankumMusic Yeah it did look a bit U-rated

[anxresi]

Contrary to the above synopsis, there are no 'shock deaths' in this soap. They get leaked to the tabloids weeks in advance. It's all about ratings, innit?

[TheCreativekitty]

I remember this episode. So realistic how she didn't say anything before she died.

[GotDaFunk92]

no offence but this was pretty anticlimactic. really badly shot, could have been way more realistic

[Vaxonblue]

Oh come on... The car tapped her. She jumped onto the car.

[TheBratzAttack]

grant makes phil look like a puppy

[jellyfish4400]

Oh, that would so not have killed her!! But is she the reason Bianca called her little girl Tiffany?

[spikester93]

@jellyfish4400 Yes :)

[xoxlilchicxox]

@jellyfish4400 yh

[TheCreativekitty]

@jellyfish4400 Yup! 

[Messylin]

Just think, if they hadn't killed her off, she could have returned to Walford around this time with Courtney - stronger, wiser, worldy. Missed storyline oppurtunities. We didn't waste three years watching Tiffany finally wise up to Grant's sociopathic ways just to see her die violently. It's the same with Cindy - where was her resolution? This is NOT how you write good soap opera. Tiffany was the most popular character this show ever conceived and they destroyed her for sensationalism.

[billydeeuk]

Why is it when ANYBODY gets killed everybody just watches and never thinks to ring an ambulence?

[FrancisIdents]

What the hell is up with Peggy's hair? D=

[LukeRoby1994]

god look at peggys hair lol

[ThePurpleNerdWebshow]

lol whats up wit Peggys hair? :L

Awwh! its so swet wa bianca did :)

I hate grant,hes jst lyk phil :/

xoxo

[mariskaveresforever]

the most shocking episode i've seen

[KikiKittyMewMew]

wth the car wasnt even that fast

[mariskaveresforever]

@KikiKittyMewMew true, but tif's head was damaged already before that. so, just a small hit was enough

[MissRnR]

@mariskaveresforever That's right. She had suffered head trauma from falling down the stairs wasn't it?

[jeccamay]

no one survives being hit by a car in walford...

[TheSeanMeehan]

she deserved dat dont mess with da mitchells lol

[aeisha100]

spotlight on popgirl

[xoxlilchicxox]

@aeisha100 wtf? what are talking about lol

[85Jinx]

if tiffany hadnt married grant she wouldnt of died!!! xxx

[fabemis]

tiffany was wayyyyy 2 pretty 4 grant1

[colourflaire]

Tiff was hot :O

[85Jinx]

@colourflaire i Know she Sexy as well

[antoireland09]

reanimate pauline fowlers dead corpse and bring her back to eastenders !!

[Messylin]

This show was a pathetic ratings stunt - effectively depriving the audience of a Tiffany/Grant/Sharon love triangle which had been YEARS in the making, and would have happened eventually.

[RockQueen231]

If she died in 1998 that means I was only 1 when this was on TV.

[MeBenHalpin]

This was one of the saddest episodes ever still remember hearing the clock strike midnight in the background, know its only soap but did Tiff officially die on 31/12/98 0r 1/1/99, always stuck in my mind that.

[85Jinx]

@MeBenHalpin i reckon 1/1/99

[MeBenHalpin]

@85Jinx Cos when Frank's car hit, her she sort of slowly died on the pavement, so suppose your right on it, being New years Day she officially left the world of soap and so many adoring fans, do miss characters like Tiffany,Grant,Frank etc though.

[sharon3887]

my name is courtney :) xx

[Passionofawriter]

idk if it's just me but... i swear you can't just die because a car ran you over... and you actually slid ON TOP of the car - not under it.

i watched it closely and Tiffany was 'caught' by the car (she sat on the front of the car at 2:41) and then her head just slightly pushed against the window, making her legs kinda go up and then she simply slid off. There was no damage to the window, and the skull can survive a drop that small.

...? i dont get this.

[Loopyloualways]

@Passionofawriter tiffany had not long been released from hospital after suffering a head injury from grant coz he pushed her down the stairs of the vic.

[Delboylover1997]

@Passionofawriter, but days before her death, Grant pushed Tiffany down the stairs, causing a blood clot on her brain, so she had to have an operation to survive, and after the op, her head and upper skull would've been really weak and vunrable,

And when She lands on the bonnet of Frank's mondeo at 2:41, which would have hit her internal organs and kidneys, and then she smacks her head off the pavement at 2:43, that would have shattered her skull and she would have died instantly.

[pufferfishish]

@Delboylover1997 Almost right, only Grant never pushed her- she fell. This was confirmed in an earlier scene of this episode when she visits Grant in prison and confesses to him that she remembers everything that happened but is happy to just let him stay in jail.

[Soaplover2010]

Icant remember tiffany buh my older cousin can very clear!

[85Jinx]

OMG i love the name Tiffany esspecially on a woman like her

she was one of the best known characters. i feel so sorry for

Courtney she grew up without her mother. she died on 31st december

1998. cant belive she died. xxx

[LadyLolliipops]

@85Jinx So do I, the name Tiffany was perfect for her.

[MeBenHalpin]

@85Jinx Was just saying before know its only soap, but did she die before the clock struck midnight or after.

[85Jinx]

@MeBenHalpin she died just after the clock struk midnight. that was on the vidio anyway so she died just after so im concerned.

[LilLauzz]

tiffany should'ent have gone out of eastenders :(

ahhh well what is done is done :/

[MeBenHalpin]

@LilLauzz Think she went at the right time, her character had 4 great years and to be honest don't think she would wanna work on the modern day.

[spd2182]

Love the guy at 2:59 who comes to have a look with his drink in hand LMAO

[Silverslayer1190]

I remember this when it first aired when I was small. I remember the car hitting her being a lot more severe than that little tap! Still classic Enders though :-)

[Feisty1]

That car hit her at a very low speed, she wouldn't have died from that, there was hardly any impact. Bit pathetic really.
