Stacey Dooley talks to Walford veterans Letitia Dean and Adam Woodyatt

- ALISON SLADE

They’ve been friends for 35 years, on and off-screen, and are two of only three original cast members still in the soap today (top marks for knowing the third is Gillian Taylforth, AKA Kathy Beale).

This week, Letitia Dean and Adam Woodyatt – Sharon Mitchell and Ian Beale – are in EastEnders: Secrets from the Square, talking to Stacey Dooley about their early days in the show, their big storylines and, in Sharon’s case, their even bigger hairdos.
