The 29-year-old actress is very talented and recently graced the Radio Times Soap Awards. While speaking to Radio Times, the soap star shared how she’s been loving every minute since moving into the Queen Vic.
In the exclusive interview, Henry said, “It’s been… honestly, it’s been the privilege of a lifetime; I’ve watched the show since I was a little girl, and to be in the pub with the most incredible people and the best actors has been like… you can’t top it.”
Furthermore, she also talked about her co-stars, especially her onscreen family members Colin Salmon, who plays her father, George Knight, and Molly Rainford, better known as Anna Knight. Regular viewers of the show know that Gina and Anna are real tight with each other and share a great relationship onscreen.

While discussing Colin, Henry added, “Colin’s really kind of like… quite a big father figure in my life outside the show. And I think you can see it on screen that we get on really well and I really trusted his advice. And I really kind of see him as a mentor. So it’s been really lovely to kind of have that outside of that onscreen relationship and then have it feed into it.”
The soap actress also reflected on her relationship with Molly and mentioned that she is like her little sister. We are absolutely glad to know that our favourite stars share such a special bond off-screen as well. For more such updates on EastEnders, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
