Life after Barry
Suspecting foul play, Natalie spent the rest of her time in Albert Square attempting to prove Janine had murdered Barry. She even turned down a new start with the love of her life Ricky, who left following Janine's confession that she had left Barry to die (although he opted not to divulge this secret to anyone else).

Whilst Natalie came to terms with her ex-husband's death, she became close to Paul Trueman, the only other person who knew what really happened to Barry. Initially Paul's attraction to Natalie was born out of guilt and a desire to make amends to her fatherless son Jack for his part in Barry's demise, but as their relationship developed it grew into love. Despite his feelings for Natalie, Paul couldn't get over his guilt, and he unsuccessfully attempted to confess what he knew about Barry's death several times. After much soul searching he eventually decided to bury his guilt and start a new life with Natalie and Jack, away from Janine.

Janine (insanely jealous of their romance) had other ideas, and she cruely confessed her part in Barry's death to Natalie and informed her of Paul's role too. Devestated, and unable to prove Janine's guilt to the police, Natalie packed her bags and left Paul and Albert square.

She returned briefly to see that justice was served to Janine, when she was wrongly arrested for the murder of Laura Beale (her death was actually an accident).

Natalie made her peace with Paul, and she and Jack planted a tree in Barry's memory in Albert Square, after which Natalie said goodbye for the last time. Her last appearance was in May 2004.
