I don't blame her... It would be really draining for her to have to constantly act out these depressing storylines, it must have some effect on her if you have been crying for hours on set every day...

Also only 4000 people have actually complained, but as I understand it they have a base rate figure (similar to the BARB viewing figures) which equates to 1 x viewer complaint = X number of unhappy viewers... But I guess EastEnders knew this would happen & they did the storyline to shock & see the show hit the headlines anyway unfortunately...
