EastEnders Star Michelle Shuts Down The Claims After Weeks Of Rumours
As we know, since Michelle returned to Walford last year after a long break, there has been a lot of noise. A few months after she appeared again, the actress put a picture online. The image showed a stack of papers inside a small bucket catching fire. That was enough for people to assume that these were scripts from the soap.
Many people started assuming that Michelle was unhappy with the storylines or frustrated with her scripts. But now, the actress has finally decided that she has had enough. She went on Instagram and explained the truth. Zoe’s actor mentioned that the burned pages were early drafts that she had written herself.
Michelle has made it clear that none of those pages belonged to the BBC or the show. Also, the actors on the soap do not receive early drafts at any point. Hence, the rumour never made sense from the beginning. She also wanted everyone outside the production to understand what the team inside already knew.

The Zoe actor also reminded people that a script is a sacred thing for an actor. As she writes herself, she respects every page she works on. This time, Michelle added a fresh photo of a plant. She explained that the original post had already stated exactly what those papers were. Soon after, fans rushed in to support her.
A user said, “Go champ! You needn’t justify yourself for anything but hats off to you for putting your foot down! Another shared, “Don’t worrt, Hopefully everything will turn out for the best.” Someone else mentioned, “Can’t believe you’re having to justify yourself with that. Keep being amazing.
