Emmerdale: Meena shoots Leyla as she tries to drive away

Danniella Westbrook has publicly backed rival cleaning soap Emmerdale after her EastEnders casting row.

The star was left fuming after the BBC confirmed that Kim Medcalf could be taking up the character slightly than Danniella, who initially performed the fiery former lap-dancer, and she even threatened legal action against the BBC.

And now Danniella has publicly backed ITV cleaning soap Emmerdale – predicting that EastEnders may finish when ITV switch up their schedule and alter Emmerdale to 7.30pm, which immediately clashes with the same old occasions of EastEnders.

As Emmerdale aired unimaginable scenes with serial killer Meena (Paige Sandhu) tonight, Danniella took to Twitter to offer her verdict on the storyline, as she predicted the top of EastEnders.

“Are you able to think about once they transfer emmerdale to 7.30pm how a lot the scores on different channels will drop by way of the ground …. May very well be the Finish for Enders,” she wrote on Twitter in an apparent swipe on the BBC cleaning soap.

In a string of tweets, she went on to reward the serial killer and storyline, writing: “Meena on @emmerdale is sensible. That is written so nicely. Are you able to even think about the awards that is gonna win #superb #emmerdale.”

On the time, Danniella wrote a scathing message on-line about EastEnders’ recasting.

“Wishing Kym the perfect of luck at @BBCEastenders__ but once more this poor lady has to recreate a Samantha Mitchell as near my final two latest come backs on the sq. go smash it darling..x oh however to not @bbceastenders my authorized group will probably be in contact,” she wrote on the time, clearly fuming with the BBC cleaning soap for his or her choice.

In a second scathing tweet, she added: “Wager you all can’t watch for my new e-book now can ya ….. oh it’s gonna go method again to the issues I’ve by no means ever instructed #beafraidpeople #itsallgood.”

Kim performed Sam between 2002 and 2005 while Danniella performed Sam earlier than then, in addition to returning to Albert Sq. once more in 2009 and for a second time in 2016.

Within the ITV schedule shake up, Emmerdale will now air at a constant 7.30pm slot each weekday while Coronation Street will now broadcast hour-long episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm.
