Want to feel old? This is what EastEnders’ Dotty Cotton looks like now

She was 7 when she was cast on the show

Eastenders fans are sure to remember Dotty Cotton, played by Molly Conlin, the little tearaway who drove her granny Dot up the walls when she joined in 2008.

Daughter of Nasty Nick Cotton, Dotty was a bit of a tearaway and, under the direction of her father, had been plotting to poison Dot, probably the most popular character on the show.

Thankfully, Dotty figured out this was a terrible idea, and Nick’s plot was foiled, which resulted in Dotty’s departure from the soap in 2010.

Molly was seven when she was cast in the soap, and now aged 15, she’s grown up a lot.

Since leaving the show, Molly has gone on to star in a number of other TV projects including Annabel’s Kitchen (2011), an advert for Horrible Histories (2012), and Blandings (2013).
