Margaret Wilson was a recurring fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She was played by Janet Amsden.
She was the adoptive grandmother of Sonia and Martin Fowler's daughter, Rebecca Miller, and mother of Rebecca's dead adoptive mother, Sue Miller.
Sonia visited Margaret (under the name "Pamela") to see Rebecca. Margaret found out that Sonia is Rebecca's biological mother and since let Pauline (Martin's mother), Martin and Sonia visit Rebecca.
On 15 December 2005, Margaret admitted that she was getting tired so she let Pauline, Martin and Sonia look after Rebecca for Christmas 2005.
On 1 May 2006, Margaret visited Sonia to tell her she wanted her and Martin to be Rebecca's legal guardians. Just days later, she was utterly disgusted with Sonia, as she discovered that Sonia had left Martin and lied about being together. Sonia later visited Margaret, who was almost convinced to allow Sonia back into Rebecca's life, until Sonia told Margaret she was in a relationship with another woman.
The next day, Martin went to see Margaret and had more success as Margaret thought Rebecca would be more secure with Pauline and Martin.
On 1 June 2006, Martin received a phone call to say Margaret had died. Margaret's funeral was on Monday 12 June 2006.
