EastEnders

Blakley joined the cast of popular BBC soap opera, EastEnders, as the wife of undertaker Les Coker (Roger Sloman), Pam, following his promotion to the regular cast.[9] They would be setting up their funeral business in the fictional setting of Walford. Pam was billed as "a small woman with a big heart and an even bigger shoulder to cry on."[4] Sloman stated how delighted he was to be working with Blakley and when commenting about her casting, Blakley said: "Being part of EastEnders is like going to work and being with another family. I'm really enjoying myself. Working with Roger has been wonderful from the word go, we have a laugh together and I feel like I have known him forever."[4] Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins also spoke about how he enjoyed watching the chemistry between Sloman and Blakley.[4] Her storylines since arriving have included: her friendly personality and interaction with the community; her friendships with Claudette Hubbard (Ellen Thomas) and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick); the secrets that Les and Pam share, including that Pam assisted her son, Laurie, to die and that Les is a cross-dresser; the difficult relationship they share with their grandson, Paul (Jonny Labey); and mourning for Paul when he is murdered.

Blakley was written out of the show alongside Sloman in 2016 following the appointment of a new executive producer. A show insider commented, "Pam and Les have been a big part of the show over the past few months and with their current storyline, bosses felt that it was the right time for their characters to leave the Square. There is still plenty more drama to come from the Cokers before they leave Walford."[5] Pam departed in the episode broadcast on 14 October.[6] Blakely filmed two appearances for the soap in 2017 and Pam appeared in the episodes broadcast on 25 May and 22 June.[7] Pam made another appearance in the soap in February 2018.[8]
