EastEnders star Clair Norris was feeling pretty thankful after manifesting a role on the soap for three straight years. The actress, famous for playing Bernie Taylor since 2017, shared a blast from the past. She posted a screenshot of her old wish for a role on the BBC One soap back in 2014. Dive in to know the full scoop!
EastEnders: EE Star Clair Expresses Gratitude!
Reflecting on the past, Clair wrote, “Who’d have thought that three years later I’d be cast as Bernadette Taylor?” Turns out, the EastEnders star is still saying the same thing ten years on. She added, “Everyone has been incredible the last couple of weeks.” On the London-based soap, Bernie’s mum, Karen Taylor, popped into Albert Square earlier this year.
Eventually, the character headed back to Spain after stirring up some drama on EastEnders. We wonder if she gave any heads-up to her daughter. Viewers of the gripping soap have been following Bernie’s struggles to make ends meet. She has literally no one left, especially after his brother Keanu’s death. However, Norris leads a very fulfilling life in the embrace of her boyfriend, Lewis Wood.
The couple recently moved into her own plush pad. Back then, Clair broke the news of her big purchase on both her X/Twitter and Instagram accounts. She told her 145000 followers, “And we’re in!!! Time to make this house a home.” Additionally, the EastEnders star posted snaps of custom keyrings with their names, house number, and move-in date. How adorable!
In no time, fellow EastEnders buddies flooded the comment section with their wishes. Harriet Thorpe (Elaine Peacock) and James Bye (Martin Fowler) congratulated her. Meanwhile, Navin Chowdhry (Nish Panesar) sent a bunch of heart emojis and a champagne bottle emoji. Still, Clair’s life on the soap remains tragic.
