EastEnders' Denise star Diane Parish debuts dramatic hair transformation

She first burst on to our TV screens in 2005 as the doe-eyed Honey Edwards (later Mitchell) in EastEnders – and Emma Barton has been a firm favourite on the BBC soap ever since. Looking back at her screen test for the role, the 46-year-old – who previously appeared on the small screen in Doctors and Spooks, and on stage in shows including Grease – vividly recalls being “terrified” as she filmed in the iconic Queen Vic pub alongside Perry Fenwick, who plays Billy Mitchell, and Shane Richie, who portrays Alfie Moon. And no wonder – two Walford icons in one room would be enough to intimidate any new cast member.

Roadside Attractions has snagged U.S. rights to the comedy Summer Camp, starring Diane Keaton (Annie Hall), Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell) and Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), on which we were first to report. Written and directed by Castille Landon (Perfect Addiction), the film is slated for release in theaters on May 31.

Thursday's EastEnders episode had a rather dramatic end with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) wrongly arrested for the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).The arrest came as Keanu's sister Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris) vowed to avenge her brother's death. Viewers of the soap will remember that while Sharon was involved in hiding Keanu's body, it was actually Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) who killed him on Christmas Day as he attempted to strangle Sharon. After this, Linda, Sharon, Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) buried Keanu's body under the cafe.

As the Walford residents came to grips with the discovery of Keanu Taylor’s body in the latest visit to EastEnders, one of Albert Square’s most hated characters, Dean Wicks may have sealed his fate after he was unexpectedly implicated in the mechanic’s death. Things all kicked off during Wednesday (3 April) night’s visit to Walford, which picked up where things left off the previous night, with Jack Branning walking in on Stacey Slater and Denise Fox trying to hide Keanu’s body after the floor collapsed over where he was buried.

After months of evading suspicions, sadly The Six’s worst nightmare finally came true during Tuesday evening’s visit to EastEnders, when Keanu Taylor’s body was unearthed beneath Kathy Beale’s cafe. As regular viewers will recall, Sharon Watts, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Suki Panesar and Kathy Beale were all implicated in the mechanic’s death on Christmas Day, and chose to cover up their crime by burying his body beneath the cafe.

But while the soap star and Strictly Come Dancing sensation may have failed to find a happy ending with Coronation Street ’s Ellie Leach, it appears the young star may have found romance in Albert Square instead.
