Honey trapped

Emma Barton, who plays Honey Mitchell, on the tricky relationship between her character and newcomer Bea

- 

Honey Mitchell falls further into Bea Pollard’s clutches this week as her new best friend’s sinister behaviour escalates.

Viewers have already seen Bea, who is played by comic Ronni Ancona, take out a credit card in Honey's name and almost cost the mum her job at the Minute Mart. Now, with Bea staying in Honey and Billy's house while the family are away, things start to unravel further as Bea decides to make some changes around the house.

Emma Barton, who plays Honey, says, “She is initially really appreciative of Bea's help in maintaining and redecorating their home. However, as she settles back in, she notices several times where Bea may have overridden Billy's decisions [he returns from their holiday before Honey]. Although Bea's actions come from a well-intentioned place, they have annoyed Billy, who feels she is overstepping, which understandably takes a toll on him as he believes she's trying to take over.”
