Tanya Franks has called for ‘EastEnders’ bosses to pair her up with Lorraine Stanley for some "feisty" scenes.
The 51-year-old actress would love to see her character Rainie Branning join forces with the 43-year-old star (Karen Taylor) for some explosive episodes, because the pair have been pals "for years and years".
She said: "I’d love a scene with Lorraine Stanley, who I’ve known for years and years, but I’ve never acted.
"Rainie and Karen together would make for a pretty feisty moment, wouldn’t it?"
Tanya is also good friends with Scott Maslen (Scott Branning) on the BBC One soap, and admits he is one of the funniest members of the cast because he is always making her fall about laughing.
He said: "Scott Maslen makes me laugh the most. Honestly, he’s truly hilarious, proper funny.
"He’s such a comedic person. As Jack he is very straight down the line, but Scott is funny all the time."
The ‘Broadchurch’ actress enjoys unwinding in her dressing room in between scenes, and is a big hit with her smoothie-loving co-stars because she has her own blender so she can make some of the thick and creamy beverages for her fellow Albert Square residents.
She added to Inside Soap magazine: "Between scenes I’m more often than not in my dressing room.
"It’s like my little haven where I can read scripts – but it’s also nice to sit and chat with people.
"I have a blender in there, too, so I can make smoothies."
