I think it probably did - as well as for all the Sugdens. He was mentioned quite a few times after the incident. I think it took a while for the village to get over it. Imagine if the Windsor family had moved to the village in the 1980s and Betty had returned - Viv and Betty would have a lot to gossip about!

I agree that the Mowlam ordeal probably lead to the downfall of Matt and Dolly's marriage. If the actress who played Peggy had not quit, it would have been interesting to see if they would have remained together unlike Matt and Dolly.
