“And every time a new producer comes in they like to put their spin on the show and do things their way.”
The producer has already made plans to kill off Nigel Havers’ conman character Lewis Archer.

“They don’t tell anybody these things. But whatever happens next year, we’re all very excited about it. I’m sure we’ll all embrace it.”
On-screen Kym’s character Michelle has been going through hell after discovering her son Ali Neeson murdered drug dealer Ronan to save the family.
