Matt Di Angelo had a "massive argument" with ‘EastEnders’ boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins over a storyline.
The actor has admitted he clashed with the soap’s executive producer due to an undisclosed plot twist involving his character Dean Wicks.
Appearing on Channel 4’s ‘Sunday Brunch’, he explained: "I had a massive argument with my boss when he told me what my character was going to be doing in my storyline. I was just like, ‘What? Really?’ We had a tiff almost.
"I get on really well him, and then he was like, ‘You can do A storylines or B storylines. You can do regular stuff and boring stuff and just go for a pint in The Vic, or you can do what I’m offering you and show people … make people aware of that situation and go through that. What do you want to do – do you want to get your teeth into it?’ "
Matt recently reprised his role as Dean, after taking a six-year absence from Walford, and the actor reveals it wasn’t too difficult to slip back into the hairdresser’s shoes as he’s "not a million miles away from the character".
He explained: "The thing with soap is to shoot so many pages a day, if you were some obscure, completely different character with a crazy accent and mannerisms, to do that 12 hours a day, six days a week, and then get so many pages coming through, I think you’d be shooting yourself in the foot a little bit."
