Former EastEnders star: ‘My character left prematurely’

Ex-EastEnders actress Glynis Barber has said that she reckons her character Glenda should have been on the show longer. The character was written out of the soap back in 2011 after a string of on-screen rows, including with her daughter Roxy Mitchell.

Barber has said in a new interview that she would definitely be up for it if producers ever asked her to come back to the show, claiming that there is “unfinished business” to settle.

“I had a huge investment in Glenda in EastEnders,”

she told What’s On TV.

“She was constantly wreaking havoc around the square. It was great fun to play! “I felt she left a little prematurely; there is definitely some unfinished business there if I was ever asked to pop back.”

Since leaving the show Barber has filmed a minor role in a movie opposite Tom Cruise, and has said she was excited to come face-to-face with the Hollywood giant.

“I have filmed a tiny little part in a Tom Cruise movie, which is out next year, called Edge of Tomorrow,” she explained.

“I play an American general, believe it or not. I just had a few lines, but I met Tom so that was definitely a perk of the job!”
