Eastenders actress Maggie O’Neill has called her character Suzy Branning ’scheming.’
Maggie told the TV Times: “Suzy’s driven by money and uses sex as a tool to get it. She’s wanton and a schemer… She doesn’t seem to have much empathy or sensitivity for other people.
“She’s probably a match for anyone! She’s not embarrassed by her own behaviour, and she’s quite deluded.”
Suzy has recently started dating Walford bad boy, Phil Mitchell.
Maggie said: “I think they have a connection because they probably both recognise something in each other. She’s a tough cookie and sees the world from a male perspective.”
The 41-year-old actress also admitted working in a soap is hard work. Read More »
