fictional character in theBBC soap opera "EastEnders ". She was played byKathryn Apanowicz .History
Magda was half-Polish and half-
Yorkshire . She initially lived inLeeds until she moved toLondon for a career incatering , where she shared a flat with her business partner, Amanda.In May 1987 Magda managed to secure herself a catering gig at
The Queen Vic , which is where she met and began a flirtatious relationship with the married publican,Den Watts . With Den recently separated from hisalcoholic wife Angie, he was free to actively pursue Magda, which only sought to infuriate his already fragile wife.Later in the year, Den went on a trip to
Morocco and whilst he was away, Magda started flirting with barmanSimon Wicks , who subsequently ended the relationship with his girlfriendSharon Watts to be with Magda. When Den returned from his extended holiday, he found that Magda was no longer interested in him. When Den discovered that she was seeing Simon, he physically attacked Simon, sacked him and threw him out of his home in The Vic. A few months later Amanda left forAustralia and Magda moved toAlbert Square , where she rented a flat at 3 Albert Square fromKelvin Carpenter , and managed Symphony Food Catering on her own. With Den now out of the picture, Magda decided she wanted a more serious commitment from Simon so she asked him to move into her flat with him, and he agreed. However, their relationship did not go smoothly. Magda was a bit older than Simon, and his immature tendencies often infuriated her, whilst her complaining infuriated him. Simon had some family upsets over the coming months and Magda failed to support him adequately, so he turned to his former boss, Den, for counsel. On Den's advice, Simon proceeded to pursue other women, and then started seeing the barmaidDonna Ludlow behind Magda's back. By this time Magda was in love with Simon and his rejection hurt her. Den used this opportunity to gain his revenge on Magda. He feigned mock sympathy for her, then seduced her, but before he got her into bed, he told her that he had to go on an errand. He instructed Magda to "get ready" for him, telling her that he would be back soon. He then left Magda undressed and waiting in his bed for hours, before instructing Pat Wicks to inform her that he was otherwise engaged, leaving her humiliated.Magda tried to take her mind off things by attempting to purchase a new property, the house that
James Willmott-Brown was selling. However, she received another setback when James had a better offer and turned her down. After a heart-felt chat withLou Beale , Magda decided to cut her losses and leaveWalford . She left the Square to share a flat with a friend inFulham in March 1988.
