Perfectionist as always eh Alan?
EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has revealed that she loved filming her character Vanessa Gold's recent meltdown scene.
Earlier this month, Vanessa completely lost control by smashing everything in sight at Max's house after discovering that he had been cheating on her with ex-wife Tanya.
Reflecting on the dramatic moment, Lucker told The One Show: "It was really good fun, actually, doing that! It was one of those things where as a person, you think, 'It'd be quite nice at times to be able to just completely trash a room!'
"The director of that episode, a guy called Karl Neilson, is absolutely brilliant and he basically just set the whole thing up for one take.
"So you've got all the cameras in the right positions, he made sure that everybody was sure nothing was going to go wrong and then he said, 'Right, in your own time, just go for it!'"
Lucker confirmed that she has now filmed Vanessa's exit scenes but would be interested in a future comeback.
"The door has been left open so that's all good, because I did absolutely love my time there," she explained. "I finished two weeks ago and was really sad - sad to say goodbye to everybody and sad to say bye to that character.
"I've had such a lovely run over the past couple of months. I sort of spent a year not doing that much, [though] it was great to work with Jake who plays Max. But as I say, these past few months I've been getting some really, really good storylines and getting to spread my wings and work with lots of different actors, who I think are brilliant."
Lucker joined the cast of EastEnders in March 2010.
Former EastEnders star Zöe Lucker has revealed that she was happy with the surprising circumstances surrounding her character Vanessa Gold's departure from the soap.
Vanessa's final EastEnders episode aired last night, showing her team up with new lover Eddie Moon for revenge against his son Michael (Steve John Shepherd), under the impression that they could then head to Spain together.
However, in a final twist, Eddie dumped Vanessa at the last minute and she felt unable to return to Albert Square as she feared the police were investigating her theft at the boxing gym.
Lucker has now insisted that Eddie's decision was the right one due to the way Vanessa had plotted against him with Michael earlier this year.
She told BBC Three's EastEnders: The New Moons: "Eddie did the right thing in leaving Vanessa, because he can't trust her.
"As much as I would have loved to have seen Vanessa and Eddie run off into the sunset, I appreciate why Eddie did that."
David Essex's final scenes as Eddie also aired last night, but executive producer Bryan Kirkwood and scriptwriter Christopher Reason both expressed hope that he may return one day to continue his story with Michael.
Kirkwood said: "The man's a proper gent and he's a proper star, and I'm very hopeful that we haven't seen the back of Eddie or David in EastEnders."
Reason added: "Of course I'm sad to see Eddie Moon go, but I'm also hopeful that he'll come back. So stick around because the final showdown in [his] story has yet to be played."
No doubt she would like to come back too and I think it could work
