“Get outta my pub!”: Peggy Mitchell’s finest moments

The hallucinations caused by her medication even provided a good reason for her closest frenemy Pat Butcher to return for her last moments. Sons Phil and Grant Mitchell were also involved in the episode, though Peggy ultimately chose to ignore their pleas to continue living a half life.
