Shirley Cheriton – Debbie Wilkins from EastEnders

Shirley Cheriton is best known for playing Debbie Wilkins in EastEnders, but she has also appeared in Grace & Favour and Are You Being Served? Her fans, however, remember her for her happy-go-lucky role in EastEnders. Shirley has also appeared in Angels, M.I.T., Crown Court, Beasts, Will Shakespeare, and The Cuckoo Waltz, among other projects. We find it strange that she appears to have retired from television overnight, as her most recent project was Last Night a DJ Saved My Life in 2009!
