EastEnders' Ellie Dadd and Jaden Ladega on the future of Amy and Denzel
Could a reunion be on the horizon?
EastEnders stars Ellie Dadd and Jaden Ladega have lifted the lid on their hopes for characters Amy Mitchell and Denzel Danes, and have answered the all-important question as to whether they should rekindle their romance.
Over the last few months, Ladega has led a storyline involving the use of and dependency on anabolic steroids, which has recently come to a head as his best friend Nugget began using them and fell seriously ill.
Amongst that, Denzel's use of steroids saw his personality shift, which involved him often lashing out at those around him, including ex-girlfriend Amy.
During upsetting scenes, the pair struggled to take their relationship to the next level, and Amy believed Denzel was disgusted by her scars.
Later that episode, Nugget lied and told Denzel that Amy had tried to kiss him when it was the other way around, which led to Denzel shouting and breaking up with Amy in the middle of the Square.
Speaking exclusively at the RadioTimes.com Soap Awards 2024 sponsored by Inspired Villages, the young actors revealed whether or not they'd like to see their characters back together.
When asked if Amy could ever forgive Denzel, Ladega said: "I don't think she should, to be honest."
Dadd echoed this and said: "Me speaking? She shouldn't, but Amy is Amy. She's a young woman who is finding her feet, going through teenage years.
"So, she probably will end up forgiving him. Young love, as they say!"
The actress admitted that she and Ladega don't know what's next for their characters as they continue to navigate the fallout from Denzel's steroids use.
