She said,
It’s been amazing to see all the various sets of EastEnders – including the outside Square itself plus all the internal shots which are filmed in the studios.
She further recalled,
He met Danny Dyer, who was very friendly and had a ‘tea break’, sitting in Queen Vic which was fun!
The mother continued,
It’s been particularly interesting to see how the filming has happened during COVID. To keep the two-meter distance at all times, various scenes are being filmed using camera tricks.
Young Mick is set to be James’ first-ever TV appearance, but he previously acted as Charles Dickens‘ son in Martin McDonagh‘s 2018 play titled A Very Very Very Very Dark Matter at the Bridge Theatre.
Back in October, it was revealed Mick’s childhood trauma would materialize onscreen in a traumatic plot, with care assistant Katy Lewis assaulting him when he was barely 12 years old.
