Eastenders Star Hits Hollywood

Michelle Ryan, who played Zoe Slater in Eastenders has just been announced as the new Bionic Woman.

I think the Guardian put it best when they said "rape, incest, attempted suicide, prostitution, a fake pregnancy and even attempted murder, makes being rebuilt with bionic ear, legs and right arm sound positively pedestrian." I forgot how depressing Eastenders was/is since they stopped showing it on BBC America a couple of years ago. Never did understand that decision - it got me through many a hangover in my earlier years out here.

Anyway, a couple of more details over at TV Squad.
