EastEnders star Zaraah Abrahams has joked that it is always unnerving to be paired with a soap killer when she has her mortgage to pay – but she hopes that Chelsea Fox wil outlive Gray Atkins (Toby Alexander-Smith) in EastEnders.
Asked by Metro.co.uk if she is ever worried when her storyline crosses with a killer, Zaraah replied: ‘There’s definitely a flicker of ‘oh no!’. But the older you get and the more things you work on, not everything can go on forever or lead to other things so you just enjoy it while you can.
‘I mean there’s always the element of ‘oh no I have a mortgage to pay, what’s happening!?’
‘But I just feel very lucky so if it were to come to an end then that would be absolutely fine, I have worked with so many of the actors. Touch wood she comes out fighting, let’s hope!’
However, at the moment , Zaraah admits that her character is oblivious to how sinister Gray is.
She told us: ‘Sadly he is disguised as a hard working, loving father after losing his wife. He is fulfilling her needs, Chelsea has no idea whatsoever.
‘She thinks he has just like anyone else, all relationships have altercations and can be temperamental. But she has no idea that it’s much more dangerous about that!’
So what draws Chelsea into Gray’s world?
Zaraah mused: ‘I think initially it’s just for her gain but there is an attraction there and it’s not just because of the money. It started out as a bit of fun but they spend a lot of time together, he ticks boxes for her and feelings grow, there could be a future for them in her mind.
‘Also she’s found someone who seems to be able to tolerate her, so that’s a bonus!’
