EastEnders’ Cheryl Fergison Lands a Guest Role
Cheryl Fergison played Heather in EastEnders. After she walked away, the work disappeared. The actor previously opened up about struggling to find work.
“The lovely late Barbara Windsor got her chequebook out to help me,” she once said. “She and others helped us a lot.”
But now, Cheryl is back in action. She has joined the new season of BBC Two’s offbeat comedy Mandy. The show, created by Diane Morgan, follows Mandy Carter as she stumbles into one weird mess after another.
Cheryl shows up as Stella in the first episode. She hardly speaks, but when she does, it lands. Her short screen time was enough to get fans talking again.
Cheryl’s Scene Steals The Show With Just Two Words
It did not take long for viewers to spot her, and they made sure to shout it from the rooftops. One fan wrote, “Obsessed with Cheryl’s two words’ Fergison. She did a cracking job.”
Another could not believe the star power packed into the episode. “What do you mean, Cheryl Fergison and Martin Lewis both popped up?”
Someone else simply said, “Congrats, Cheryl!”
Even though it is only a guest role, the love for her is clearly still there. From fans who grew up watching Heather on EastEnders to comedy lovers discovering her now, Cheryl’s little moment left a big impression. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
