Because you think that no matter how bad your life is, at least you're not a shit actor, or a scriptwriter only capable of producing complete and utter toss.</p> <p>Sorry, I've moved away from the sub, which I liked.

When the character shockingly failed to get stalked, sexually assaulted or murdered, shamefaced scriptwriters were forced to introduce a baby swapping story in order to redress the balance of relentless despair.</p> <p>Speaking in an interview in the Radio Times, Okawande described the plotline as ’one of the most challenging pieces of acting’ he has ever been asked to achieve. ‘It was truly harrowing and very hard work – especially the scene where I help Winston’s wife with the washing up – the theme of goodwill to all men really goes beyond what Eastenders is all about. ‘</p> <p>‘Viewers can expect to have their preconceptions shattered in a myriad of ways,’ he warned. ‘For instance, for most of the time I’m actually smiling – in stark and brutal contrast to the dour joyless expressions of the rest of the cast. At one stage I’m even called upon to laugh and wish everyone a merry Christmas! If that’s not pushing the envelope of contemporary serialised television drama I don’t know what is.’ </p> <p>Lovers of festive depression have been advised to tune into Strictly Come Murdering, which premiers on Christmas Day on BBC 1 after the Queen’s Speech, or switch over to Coronation Street.</p> <p>(Merry Christmas chums!) </p>
