Alex Ferns Still
Haunted By EastEnders Character
Former EastEnders
star Alex Ferns has said he is still haunted by Trevor Morgan, the
psychopathic wife-beater he played in the soap.
The 42-year-old - who is currently starring alongside Samantha Womack in the
London production of South Pacific - told Inside Soap magazine that people
still think of him as Little Mo's evil husband, even though the character
was killed off in 2002.
"I'd never say never to doing another soap later on," Ferns said. But I
don't know if it'll ever happen - it's quite difficult because I'm still
very much associated with Trevor."
The Scottish-born actor added that his character in South Pacific could not
be further removed from his Albert Square alter ego.
"In real life I'm very chilled out - so playing psychos and insane people is
a real departure from that," he said.
And he also confessed he has never seen Womack as Ronnie Branning in
EastEnders, as he stopped watching the soap.
"I must admit I don't watch any of the soaps any more so I've never actually
seen Sam as Ronnie," Ferns admitted. "But I gather she did a really
brilliant job.
"She's great to perform with - she's full of energy and lots of fun. We
actually worked together on the musical Guys And Dolls before she was in
EastEnders."

Actress Critical Of Drama Clash
Laura Carmichael, who plays Lady Edith Crawley in Downton
Abbey, has revealed she thinks BBC chiefs must be 'mad' to have scheduled
the new series of Spooks at the same time as the hit ITV drama.
Spooks used to be aired on Monday nights but was switched to
a Sunday slot for the tenth and final series of the spy show, leading to a
clash with Downton Abbey on ITV1.
The series opener of Spooks attracted 4.6million viewers on Sunday, while
the beginning of series two of Downton brought in 10.4 million people.
Carmichael said of the TV clash: "I've always loved Spooks — I think they're
mad to put the shows on at the same time."
The actress added that the cast were very pleased to have triumphed in the
ratings war but hoped viewers were recording Spooks to be viewed at a later
date.
The cast of the Julian Fellowes penned show are currently working on a
Christmas special.
