EastEnders says goodbye to Mick Carter. Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright give us their take on the dramatic Christmas Day episode as Mick exits Walford… by Alice ...

There was a lot of love for me in the room and part of me wanted to duck out. In the scene, we were absconding from a wedding with Maddy, running down the street and one of the fillets fell out and onto the floor, I was in hysterical laughter! Kellie: We were both crying, and we put a video together of his best bits. There was a lot of real emotion tied up in the filming of that episode for me, and I’m so proud to be a part of it. But then they offered me the job and we didn’t meet until our first photoshoot. My last scene, I was very tearful and stank of broccoli, which softened the blow. And to make the decision I did – I didn’t make it lightly because it’s a huge job to walk away from. Danny: No, I didn’t think I’d last nine years on the show! Kellie: No, because I actually screen tested with someone else, and it wasn’t very good! But when you get the right material, it’s a beautiful thing. I wanted it to be a fitting end, so hopefully it is. All eyes were on Janine over the festive dinner table as Scarlett revealed the truth – Janine crashed Linda’s car and framed her for the crime!
