Perkins flying flag for older women

EastEnders' Polly Perkins is proud to be representing older women on TV.

The former Eldorado star has joined Albert Square as Dot Branning's sister Rose Cotton and told Inside Soap magazine why she thinks it's important to have more mature actresses in the show.

Polly said: "It's about time there were more older women on television. These people do have a life and it's not represented terribly often.

"I think it's really brilliant that EastEnders is bucking the trend with Rose, Dot and Cora. There's no way any of them think they'll end up with a Zimmer frame. They all think they're going to live forever!"

The 68-year-old actress revealed she gets letters from fans telling her glamorous gran Rose reminds them of their own grandmothers.

She said: "Can you imagine all these grandmas walking around looking like Rose? Mind you, I do know a few of them myself. Rose is totally deluded, in fact , she thinks she's still 37!"
