Punk was in full swing during the ‘80s, and Mary Smith was no exception to the trend. This rule-breaking punk princess was on the show since year one and remained as part of the cast for three years before her exit in 1988. Mary caused fireworks when she became a ‘lady of the night’ on the show, which caused Eastenders to come under attack from the press. However, it did exactly as the producers wanted because it got the public talking, Mary exited Walford when the actress wanted to diversify her acting career.
