'EastEnders' star Charlie Brooks has said that fans of the show tend to like her character Janine more now than during her previous stint on the show.
Speaking to 'BBC Breakfast Today', the actress said: "Now that I'm older, I don't know what it is - I don't know whether it's the way you carry yourself or a certain confidence that you might have - but people are always absolutely wonderful and lovely."
"But when I was younger, it was kind of a different story. There was much more abuse and maybe I was more vulnerable-looking and more of an easy target. But now, people are great!"
Speaking about her character, she said: "I'm constantly sort of defending her and I'm sympathetic towards her as well."
