'Echo Beach' star grateful for axing
Former Echo Beach star Christian Cooke has admitted that the soap's failure was a blessing in disguise for his career.

The 22-year-old actor, who played Brae Marrack on the ITV1 show last year, revealed that he is much more satisfied with his current role as Luke Rutherford in supernatural drama Demons.

"Things are going great now and the attention is unbelievable," Cooke told the Daily Star. "I'm glad I'm not doing Echo Beach any more because it was s**t!

"I shouldn't really say that because you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you. But it was a bold move for them and I had so much fun doing it."

Echo Beach was axed following disappointing ratings in 2008, but its sister show Moving Wallpaper is returning with a new theme later this year.
