EastEnders legend looks world’s away from Albert Square in new BBC drama She’s best known to millions as EastEnders’ Sonia Fowler, but Natalie Cassidy is worlds away from her soap character in her latest project.
The actress – who announced last month that she had quit the BBC soap after 32 years – is set to appear as a teacher in the second series of the popular comedy-drama Boarders.
Boarders creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor added: ‘Welcoming the fantastic Alan Cumming and Natalie Cassidy to St. Gilbert’s was an absolute pleasure and they were a joy to work with.
She stars alongside The Traitors US host Alan Cumming, who also has a guest role in the series.
Speaking about his role, Alan said: ‘I’ve always said that letting people know you are a fan of theirs is a good idea.
