EastEnders’ Louise Mitchell to destroy brother Ben’s life

EastEnders’ Louise Mitchell is set to come up with a cunning plan to destroy her half-brother Ben Mitchell’s life.
The blonde beauty – portrayed by Tilly Keeper – is set to wreak havoc for her killer sibling (Harry Reid) over the next coming months as she attempts to get her own back on him for scolding her with hot spoons when she was younger.
Tilly explained: "Don’t forget Ben used to burn her with spoons. Harry Reid, who plays Ben, and I are always looking for spoons in scenes to see if we can dd them in. Louise is scared of Ben – he murdered someone after all – but she won’t show it. She wants to prove she isn’t a kid anymore."
But Ben isn’t the only one in the firing line as his cheating girlfriend Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald), who has faked her own pregnancy and miscarriage to stop her beau from falling into the arms of his gay partner Paul Coker (Jonny Labey), will also find herself caught up in Louise’s conniving plan.
Tilly said: "She has a nose for mischief. She’s bored and not yet started school – so she may as well annoy Abi!"
Meanwhile, the 17-year-old actress is looking forward to shooting scenes with her on-screen grandmother Dame Barbara Windsor – who plays matriarch Peggy Mitchell in the soap – in the lead up the star’s emotional departure.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, she said: "I’m so excited to play Peggy’s granddaughter – that’s quite a title. Louise adores and idolises Peggy and I’m like that with Barbara."
