'EastEnders' Polly Perkins: 'Rose's behaviour isn't healthy'

EastEnders star Polly Perkins has admitted that she disapproves of her character Rose Cotton's frosty attitude towards future daughter-in-law Heather Trott.
Rose has recently made her disapproval of Heather clear after learning that her son Andrew (Ricky Grover) is planning to marry the Walford cleaner.
Perkins told Inside Soap of the storyline: "Rose would be like this with any woman who wanted to marry her precious son. She has just got Andrew back in her grasp, and now she's losing him again.
"It's certainly not a very healthy way for her to behave - I wouldn't be like that with my own sons!"
The actress said that in real life she gets on well with Cheryl Fergison, who is bowing out from the role of Heather.
"I'm going to miss her so much," Perkins confirmed. "She's just such a naturally funny woman, and she really wants to make everyone happy.
"I am so fond of her. We're all in deep mourning that she won't be staying."
EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
