Soap icon Natalie Cassidy has opened up about her EastEnders exit - and she isn't satisfied by how BBC bosses handled her goodbye.
The 41-year-old, known for her long-running character Sonia Fowler, bid farewell to the show earlier this year following an impressive three-decade stint on the Square. Fans recently witnessed Sonia's dramatic Walford exit via a speedboat, complete with her trademark trumpet in tow.
Speaking on her Off The Telly podcast , which the soap great hosts with Joanna Page, Natalie said the scene was axed from her on-screen exit and she wasn't happy about She said: ⁘I felt quite emotional but d'you know what? Maybe I've missed it because I wasn't watching it properly, but I feel like they cut out the scene, which was my favourite scene.
⁘It was Sonia and Phil, and me and Phil just having a moment in the Square. I didn't see it. I might have to go back and have a look. I'd be really cross [if it was cut] because it was a really nice scene.⁘ Natalie added: ⁘I've had loads of DMs and messages and stuff just saying how people have shed a tear, but a happy tear. It was nice and joyful, it wasn't sort of depressing, and [I] didn't leave in a black cab, it was just fun.⁘
⁘And EastEnders is a factory with 60 cast members and 300 staff so they can't cater for someone who says, 'By the way, I need two months off to do this, another three months off to do this'. It's not fair. It had to be a clean break so I could focus on other projects and spend time with my family, which I haven't been doing in recent months.⁘
