Who does Clair Norris play in EastEnders? Is she still in the soap?
Bernadette ‘Bernie’ Taylor arrived in Walford with the rest of her loud, loveable family in 2017.
The youngest daughter of Karen Taylor, we have never met Bernie’s dad.
She has two older brothers: Keanu and Keegan, and an older sister, Chantelle, who was tragically murdered in 2020.
Bernie also has two younger brothers, Chatham and Riley and a sort-of stepsister, Bailey.
Her first major storyline was a teen pregnancy.
It ended in heartbreak when she gave birth to a stillborn daughter, who she named Belle.
Bernie came through the tragedy and found friendship with Tiffany Butcher. Bernadette realised she was gay and came out to mum Karen on New Year’s Eve 2018.
Recently Bernie agreed to become a surrogate for Rainie and Stuart Highway. However, after getting pregnant she worried Rainie might become addicted to drugs and left Walford to clear her head and decide whether to keep the baby or not.
She returned last month and gave birth to a little boy.
Despite her reservations after finding out Stuart had cancer and wasn’t receiving treatment, Bernie eventually gave them the baby.
However, she is struggling with giving up her child and is throwing herself into organising the Panesar workers in a strike against their unfavourable contracts.
What is Clair’s Panorama documentary about?
During her break from the Square recently, Clair filmed a Panorama documentary about obesity.
She announced the news on her Instagram and called the show a “personal” “journey” for her.
Clair wrote: “COMING SOON!!!
“Over the last four months I have been working with BBC Panorama, documenting and reporting on a topic that relates to me and I’m sure a lot of you will have your own opinions.
“This has been a chance to show ME! No character and no acting. I have been on a journey, meeting new people, going back to my childhood and sharing my own personal experiences which most of the time I have kept to myself.”
In addition, she shared: “I can’t wait for everyone to see this project, but it’
