EastEnders’ Aaliyah Receives Appreciation For Her Brilliant Acting Skills!
EastEnders star Aaliyah was praised by many for her performance, including her co-star Sophie Khan Levy. She took to her social media to praise the young actress and wrote, “Appreciation post for this one!” She added how unbelievably proud she is of taking such an important yet difficult storyline. Sophie continued, writing, ‘That’s how heartbreakingly well James portrayed it.’
Levy also added that ‘she is lucky to see her character grow in the soap and watch Aaliyah grow as a performer in real life. This is why she loves being part of a soap.’ She further added in her post that “You are a brilliant actor, and I absolutely LOVE playing your onscreen mama.”
Sophie also posted a bunch of pictures of her and Aaliyah with the appreciation post! She ended the post by writing, ‘Cracking a joke about thanking James for letting her test her parenting skills already, which might help her in the future.’
Avani’s Traumatic Experience!
Well, the actress has been receiving all the love and appreciation for portraying Avani’s traumatising experience so well. In a recent episode Avani wanted to help her friend Lily Slater as she was mourning her stepfather’s death. She planned to skip school together and convinced her mother to do the same. While they were enjoying their time out of the school, the girls bumped into Marvin, who offered them drugs. Even though the girls refused his offer, police caught the girls skipping their school.
They also noticed the bag Marvin dropped on Avani’s feet, filled with drugs. The girl gang was later taken to the police station, where Avani was informed that she would be strip-checked. Whereas her parents could not pick up the call regarding their daughter, they had no idea about the situation. When Suki arrived, she was shocked by learning what had happened. Soon after this, Avani ends up in an argument with Priya. Her parents later get to know about their daughter’s trauma.
It is undeniable that Aaliyah has portrayed the whole storyline amazingly. Her performance left everyone feeling sad and equally traumatised. Speaking of Avani, it seems hard for the girl to recover from such a nightmare experience. The whole episode has taken a toll on her mental health. But we hope that the character will recover from it soon. Till then keep reading Soap Opera Daily for such EastEnders updates and spoilers!
I was amazed by the way Avani reacted in the police station. Brilliant young lady❣️
