Simons recently spoke with Parade about her career, reflecting on her years on EastEnders and Hollyoaks, as well as whether she would consider appearing on Celebrity Traitors U.K.
“The earliest I can remember would be Dirty Den (Leslie Grantham) and Ang (Anita Dobson),” Simons said, referencing the iconic EastEnders Christmas Day episode in 1986, when Angie Watts was served divorce papers by her husband Den Watts, after months of deception. The episode drew more than 30 million viewers in the U.K., making it one of the most-watched television broadcast in history.
Simons added that EastEnders succeeded by resisting overly sentimental holiday storytelling. “All the shiny stuff you see on Instagram. I think in the past it's been a case of, let's put sparkles and glitter on everything,” she said. “But the real stuff is the interesting stuff. EastEnders always did that really well, and I think that really set a trend for all the Christmas storytelling across soaps.”
“Not all of them, but a lot of them going down the really dark, moody route” Simons said on behalf of WhichBingo, “It's more interesting, isn't it, because you can see Christmas trees on every channel. You turn to EastEnders, you're going to see something horrific and then others follow suit.”
