Louisa Lytton was nervous about EastEnders consent episode

OHMYGOSSIP — Louisa Lytton was “really nervous” about the ‘EastEnders’ consent episode.
On Thursday night (29.11.18) the entire episode will be set in the Queen Vic pub as the soap star’s alter ego Ruby Allen hears punters debating the topic of sexual consent without realising she is Albert Square’s anonymous rape victim referred to in the local newspaper.
Reflecting on filming the unique scenes, Louisa told RadioTimes.com: “I’d not been back on the show that long and hadn’t worked with half the people in the episode before, or not for many years.
“Everyone in the show says filming in the Vic is scary and intimidating, even the likes of Steve McFadden and Letitia Dean, actors I’m in awe of, no matter how long you’re there you still get the Queen Vic fear!
“I was really nervous in the lead-up, my boyfriend didn’t understand why – everyone was looking at me and I my knees would go weak!”
The 29-year-old actress – who returned to the show earlier this year for the first time in six years – admitted shooting such sensitive scenes featured very serious conversations has prompted her to discuss the issue with her friends away from the soap.
She added: “It has made me talk about our experiences with my own circle of friends, they’re asking me questions about things we’ve been through.
“It’s not something you ordinarily discuss, you’d think our generation would be the one to be open about it, but we’re not. I’ve never had those conversations with my friends before this storyline.”
