Lou Beale
Louise Ada "Lou" Beale (also called Lou Medeemey in some spin-off media) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Anna Wing. She made her first on-screen appearance on 19 February 1985 and departed on 26 July 1988, when the character was killed off. The character is played by Karen Meagher in the 1988 EastEnders special, Civvy Street, set during the Second World War. She appeared in 232 episodes.
Lou Beale was the first EastEnders character to be created by series co-creator Tony Holland, taking the inspiration for some of the series' earliest characters from his own London family and background.
Lou is the archetypal East End matriarch throughout EastEnders' first three years. An intimidating force within the local community, she is the dowager of Albert Square's central family, the Beales and Fowlers. Never afraid to speak her mind, and woe betide anyone who manages to get on her wrong side, Lou has the respect of her friends and family, even if they do find her a bit of a nuisance at times.

Rock Star
You know I wanna be a rockstar
So I can take you home with me
I wanna get up late
Go out on dates
And get in all the clubs for free
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
You know I wanna be sedated
With twenty-twenty-four hours to go
So get down on your knees
I'll teach you to please
When we hook up after the show
I dont know how to be complacent
Or ever have to mean a word I say
So open up your throat
Hope you don't choke
Welcome to a typical day
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
The one, the one, the one
Reality is warped for me when constantly
You tell me I'm so cool, To you
Just photo shoots and interviews
And killer food
What's a girl to do, With you
So I grew up to be a rockstar
Dont talk to me about legality
With your ass in the air
I really don't care
What your mama thinks of me
So now you see me standing here
And you're still standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
