The Mirror – November 30th 1996<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Square-well to wicked Wicks<\/p>\n
I hope Michael French gets a well-deserved award for his memorable exit as David French from Albert Square.<\/p>\n
His was a powerfully charged performance, deeply sensitive, so very moving and played with great feeling.<\/p>\n
Albert Square won’t be the same place without you, Michael.<\/p>\n
Bob Neilson, Acton, W. London<\/p>\n
I MUST congratulate Michael French on his amazing performance.<\/p>\n
His performance as David Wicks must ensure that he becomes a big star of the future.<\/p>\n
Arlene Locise Finchley, N. London<\/p>\n
MICHAEL French was brilliant in his tearjerking performance. Good luck Michael and come back to our screens soon.<\/p>\n
Jack Jackman N. London<\/p>\n
MY WIFE is an avid EastEnders viewer, and every time it is on TV I nip round to our local.<\/p>\n
The pub has no juke box and no telly and is usually a haven of sanity.<\/p>\n
Imagine my dismay the other night when nearly all the talk there was of some bloke who’d just quit EastEnders.<\/p>\n
John Cameron<\/p>\n
Oldham, Lancs<\/p>\n
WHAT a brilliant actor Michael French is. The scenes leading up to his departure were riveting. EastEnders won’t be the same without him. I do wish him all the best for his future projects.<\/p>\n
Jill Paget Eltham, S.E. London<\/p>\n
RAQUEL WENT WITH A WHIMPER<\/p>\n
AFTER the huge build up to Raquel’s departure from Coronation Street, the event itself was a let-down, more comical than anything.<\/p>\n
My medal for best departure has to go to Michael French in EastEnders. His performance had me in tears in Tuesday’s and Thurday’s episodes.<\/p>\n
Much as I hate his character, David Wicks, I couldn’t help myself – he was stupendous.<\/p>\n
