Heather Trott

you think?

I would expect momentum to spring into action and for them to stagger forwards?

It would depend on the angle of the blow and the strength behind it, but, until we see how it's done, I don't think you can say the scriptwriters have made a mistake.

no true, but by applying basic physics, my first thought when I read hit from behind etc, was 'how are they going to pull that one off?'

EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has admitted that bidding farewell to the soap was an "emotional" experience.

The actress recently filmed her final scenes as Heather Trott, who meets a tragic end later this month as she is killed by troubled teen Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe).

Fergison reflected on her Walford exit while speaking to Red Carpet News TV at the season two premiere of House of Anubis yesterday (March 11), confirming that her fellow cast members threw her a leaving party.

"I've actually finished at EastEnders now - I finished filming about three weeks ago," she explained. "You'll see the results of that on the 19th.

"The send-off was very emotional and we had a great party. It was lovely to see everybody. I'm just going to miss it, because it's a great family show. But onwards and upwards."

She added: "Working with Linda Henry who plays Shirley has been an amazing experience, [she's] a very close friend. I've made some really good friends.

"Keep watching and thank you very much for all of your support over the years. Keep an eye out for other stuff that I do."

Fergison's EastEnders departure was announced last September.

Fiancé Andrew Carter (Ricky Grover) will initially be accused of the murder, while the real culprit is protected by his father Phil (Steve McFadden).

EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell embarks on a desperate attempt to protect son Ben next week after the troubled teenager kills Heather Trott.

As first reported earlier this year, Heather (Cheryl Fergison) will soon meet a tragic end as Ben (Joshua Pascoe) turns violent at her flat, believing that she's responsible for DCI Marsden discovering that he lied about Phil and Stella.

Heather's final scene sees Ben lash out at her in a moment of fear and desperation, picking up a picture frame and hitting her hard over the side of the head with it.

As Ben and Jay (Jamie Borthwick) watch on in horror, the mum-of-one then falls backwards, hits her head on her kitchen worktop and is left lying dead on the floor.

When Phil stumbles upon the disturbing scene after being released from prison, he decides that he has to protect his twisted son and goes all-out to conceal the crime.

Thinking quickly, Phil fakes a burglary at Heather's home and takes away all evidence which links to Ben and Jay. He's also forced to leave Heather's young son George lying asleep in his bed at the flat.

Phil then comes up with a cover story for Ben and Jay, ordering them to claim that they've been busy working on a car at The Arches all night. Additionally, he arranges for the boys to burn their clothes, while the all-important picture frame - which contains a happy photo of Heather and Shirley - is dumped in the canal.

However, it seems that Ben is already scheming as he deliberately conceals Jay's hoodie, not wanting it to be destroyed with the other items of clothing…

When Shirley (Linda Henry) later finds Heather's dead body at the flat, a police investigation is launched - and Ben and Jay are among those who need to be quizzed to eliminate them from the enquiry.

While Ben seems eerily calm, a tormented Jay is traumatised by the entire situation. As the pair are led away for separate questioning, can they really maintain their lies?

To make matters worse for Phil, the police are also starting to suspect that the burglary at Heather's flat was faked. Is his cover-up already in jeopardy?

EastEnders airs Heather's dramatic exit and its fallout all next week on BBC One.

So it will seem.

EastEnders star Steve McFadden has revealed that he is thrilled to be involved in Heather Trott's tragic exit, hailing it as one of his best storylines yet.

The actor's character Phil Mitchell embarks on a desperate cover-up next week after his troubled son Ben (Joshua Pascoe) kills Heather during a furious argument at her flat.

Even though Heather was the best friend of his partner Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), Phil decides that he must put his own flesh and blood first - doing everything he can to help Ben and hiding the truth from Shirley.



McFadden told Inside Soap: "I would say that this is one of the best storylines I've ever been involved in - and I've been here a long time.

"When we first got the scripts, I said to Josh, 'There's a scale of one to 10 when you get a storyline here, and this is a 10. So roll up your sleeves, because you've got a lot of work coming your way. It could be great if we get it right'. And I think we are getting it right."

The 52-year-old said that he would be "sad" if Phil and Shirley split up as the story progresses.

"Phil and Shirley are great together - they're a match made in heaven," he explained. "But they split up and then they get back together again - that see-sawing always goes on, and if you want to have a career in soap, I think you have to embrace that rather than bemoan it."

McFadden also confirmed that he is planning to keep in touch with Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather, as they became good friends on set.
