David Wicks and Carol Jackson
Lindsey Coulson has reportedly begged her bosses at long-running BBC soap 'EastEnders' not to make it rain when Michael French films his returning scenes.
The actress, who plays Carol Jackson has been desperate for producers to avoid wetting Walford for the grand return of her on-screen ex-lover David Wicks, because she's wary of appearing "bigger and bigger" next to the 51-year-old silver fox.
She said: "He normally comes back with rain. I asked if it was possible that we didn't have the rain.
"He might still look good in the rain but I had a pair of slippers and clothes that would just look bigger and bigger. They would soak up all the water.
"Regardless of what you're saying in the script, there is 20 years worth of subtext so that was wonderful. The rehearsal time was lovely."
While Lindsey was delighted to have Michael back on set, she admits her alter-ego is not so pleased when David turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep one evening.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she said: "He left me in a puddle, he not only ran off they had me smack into a puddle and that was it. I think she's very angry [with him]."
David's return to Albert Square airs tonight (26.9.13) on BBC One at 7:30pm.
