• Producers decided to write Bernie out once her on-screen Taylor family had departed Albert Square over recent years.
• Chris Clenshaw’s last episode airs on June 13 and Ben Wadey’s first episode as executive producer follows on June 16.
• Norris described her exit as upsetting yet fitting and has kept Bernie's iconic coat and ‘Walford Pride’ t-shirt as mementos.
• After eight years on EastEnders, the actress plans to pursue theatre and drama roles and is preparing show reels and self-tapes.
