EastEnders Melanie’s World Of Soap Power And Comeback Secrets
Melanie Blake has returned with a book. And this will bring every bit of the chaos she lived during her showbiz years. Vengeful Women picks up the story eighteen months after the last novel. Elsewhere, the leading ladies sit in jail and on trial. It is for a crime they did not commit. There is tension, glamour and dirty politics for the readers. And it’s based on a world entirely from her own backstage memories.
Melanie spent twenty-five years inside the soap world. She always said that the stories she saw in real life were more outrageous than the stories shown on television. It is the most dramatic book she has ever written. Elsewhere, her book, the Falcon Bay trilogy, has already sold more than a million copies worldwide. The book has been translated into several languages.
She also spoke about the time she worked as a talent agent. That shaped the world of Falcon Bay. In addition, she has been instrumental in breathing new life into the characters that have been a part of British soaps for years throughout her career. On the other hand, she saved Danniella Westbrook’s faltering career by bringing her back to EastEnders as Sam Mitchell. Just in case the character had previously been recast. Melanie makes a point of that return, as it was a feat of her being able to do the impossible.
One time, she came up with a fantastic idea for a big return of EastEnders Carol Harrison as Louise Raymond. She even had a meeting with a producer off-site, and they talked about storylines that would introduce a secret Mitchell daughter to the Square. The meeting was serious, but the idea never got to the screen.

Melanie claimed that she had examined the death scene of the show very closely. And she found some things that could open the door. She still keeps thinking that her idea could happen someday.
Melanie brought back stars in their forties, fifties and sixties. Vengeful Women is the manner in which she transformed each of her uproarious life chapters into a novel universe where the drama is perpetual. She swapped the names, but the feelings are from her real life, no doubt. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
