EastEnders Star Faced Storms, Delays, And A Long Trip With A Child In Tow
The trip back began with disappointment. Her cruise could not dock where it was supposed to, and that meant rebooking everything. She got a late flight, but it was delayed for two hours. When it finally took off, things only got harder.
Turbulence lasted almost the whole flight, and rain lashed against the windows. Also, lightning lit up the night sky. The actor admitted it was one of the few times she felt nervous mid-air.
Once she landed, there was no time to recover. After barely resting, she was already on the move again, bags loaded, child in hand, and train waiting. She said it ranked high on her list of worst travel memories.
Her Illness Hit Back As Soon As She Got Home
Melissa has a gut condition that flares under stress. That is exactly what happened when she returned. She lived on steak and potatoes and could not eat anything else. Not ideal, but that is all there was. She added that her symptoms started acting up the moment she reached home.
Now, she is trying to rest. But the exhaustion is still there. Her mind is racing while her body begs for a break. She shared her story not for sympathy but because so many people live through the same thing quietly. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
