Windsor leaving 'EastEnders' next year
Windsor, 72, told the BBC she wants to spend more time with her husband.
"I'll be so sad to leave Peggy behind. 'EastEnders' has been wonderful to me and it's no secret that it changed my life all of those years ago," the actress told the British broadcaster. "I'm looking forward to the future and I suppose when all's said and done, I should spend a bit more time with my old man, as he's not getting any younger."
"Barbara has contributed so much to 'EastEnders' over the last 15 years, plus countless episodes, and countless amazing story lines. She has made the Mitchells the premiere family of British soap," added executive producer Diederick Santer. "I so much enjoy working with her -- catching up with the gossip, listening to her stories, talking about the show, benefiting from her advice, and most importantly reveling in her powerful, funny, passionate performances. All of us at 'EastEnders' -- and our audience -- are going to miss her hugely."
Windsor's agent, Barry Burnett, emphasized Windsor isn't giving up acting altogether, however.
"Oh, no, absolutely not. Can you imagine that? Anyone who knows Barbara knows what she's like," he told the BBC.
As of now, it is unclear how Windsor's character will be written off the show.
