Diane Parish has defended EastEnders' dramatic story lines.
The 44-year-old actress, who plays Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) downtrodden fiancée Denise Fox in the BBC One soap, thinks the show wouldn't be as popular if it wasn't for its dark plot.
She told The Sun newspaper: "There is no drama if everybody is having a lovely time, singing happy songs."
Diane has played Denise on the series since May 2006, during which her character was abused by her ex-hubby Owen Turner (Lee Ross) and had a short-lived marriage to Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels) which ended in his death.
She was also set to walk out on fiancé Ian - who recently cheated on her with ex-wife Jane - last month, but ultimately decided to stay with him after news broke of his daughter Lucy's grisly murder.
Diane explained that the increasingly glum plot is all the more "exciting" for her as she felt her story lines needed expanding,
She said: "I don't feel exhausted by all of this Lucy Beale murder drama - I feel revived! It's no secret that I had been quite quiet in the show for a while, so when I heard about this storyline and what our new boss Dominic [Treadwell-Collins] had planned for Denise, I was dead excited."

Loveable Rogues no longer speak to Simon Cowell.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' boy band, who were briefly signed to Simon's label SYCO Records, have admitted they don't have much contact with their former boss anymore after being dropped by his label in 2013.
Quizzed if they still speak to Simon, Te Qhairo Eugene exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "No, no, not necessarily."
The 'Love Sick' group - also consisting of Eddie Brett and Sonny Jay Muharrem - last bumped into the 'BGT' judge at a One Direction concert earlier this year and were happy to see him enjoying family life with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their five-month-old baby, Eric.
Eddie said: "The last time we saw him would have been at a 1D gig."
Te added: "He's got a kid now, a kid and a girlfriend ... it actually looks well sweet. We were at the One Direction gig and he was there also and he was like a couple of rows above us and he was there with his fiancée or girlfriend and the kid, and it was actually cute. It was like a little family and I was like, 'Aww.' "
Loveable Rogues' album 'This and That' is out on August 11.

Jack P. Shepherd's on-screen son is to attend his drama school.
The 'Coronation Street' actor - who plays David Platt on the ITV soap - has taken Harry McDermott, his son Max in the show, under his wing and the youngster will begin taking classes at the performing arts academy he runs with fiancée Lauren Shippey.
Jack explained: "From September, Harry's coming to the drama school I run.
"He'll be able to bring his scripts in so I can help him prepare, which will be perfect. But he's already very good - I'm just trying to help him and give him a few tips where I can, to make it as natural as possible."
The actor did, however, say that his young co-star is already very capable.
He told Inside Soap magazine: "Harry always knows his lines and exactly where he should be on set for the cameras - he's picking it all up very fast.
"And it's not very difficult to make him laugh when the script demands it!"
It was announced recently that the character of Max is set to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and his mum Kylie Platt - played by Paula Lane - will become addicted to his medicine.

Dora Bryan has died aged 91.
The 'Last of the Summer Wine' and 'Absolutely Fabulous' actress passed away with her sons Daniel and William Lawton by her bedside, according to The Brighton Argus newspaper.
Dora, who was based in Brighton, had lived at a nursing home in Hove, south east England, in the final years of her life.
Her son Daniel said: "It was heartbreaking but it was peaceful. She just left us.
"She was a tiny woman but her constitution was incredible.
"She loved being on stage, that's what she wanted. Not only did she do it, but she was good at it.
"She was a star and a mum."
Dora played Ros Utterthwaite in 50 episodes of 'Last of the Summer Wine' between 2000 and 2005 and also had roles in 'Absolutely Fabulous' and the 'Carry On' films.
The actress began her stage career at a young age and during the Second World War, she joined the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA) to entertain British troops who were stationed in Italy.
Dora was married to cricketer Bill Lawton for 54 years until his death in 2008.

Jennifer Saunders is planning a star-studded cast for the 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie.
The 56-year-old comedienne is working on a film spin-off of her classic sitcom and she has revealed she wants every guest star that's been in the show - including Kate Moss and Emma Bunton - to reprise their roles.
She said: "I haven't got the storyline completely sorted out yet, but I want to cast everyone who has ever been in the show in it."
The hit sitcom starred Jennifer and Joanna Lumley as boozy fashion industry insiders Edina 'Eddy' Monsoon and Patsy Stone.
The comic confirmed the main cast, also consisting of Julia Sawalha, June Whitfield and Jane Horrocks, would return for the movie.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I guess if your name begins with J, you're in. Joanna, Jennifer, Jane, June, Julia - we're all J's."
Other guests who appeared on the show - which aired 39 episodes between 1992 and 2012 - include supermodel Naomi Campbell, Helena Bonham Carter, Idris Elba, Sir Elton John and Jennifer's long-time comedy partner Dawn French.
Jennifer confirmed the movie earlier this year, saying: "I am writing the film as we speak - it's in the pipeline.
"I am hoping it will be released by the end of next year."

Kerry Washington takes risks "all the time" on 'Scandal'.
The Emmy Award-nominated starlet says her role as political fixer Olivia Pope is enormously challenging to her as an actress as the character - who is having an affair with the president of the United States - is "flawed" and has many different shades to her.
Kerry explained: "Olivia is such a revered character - we want to see her as all-powerful and all-knowing and yet she's enormously flawed. Taking a hero and revealing her dark side - her flaws and humanity - is an exciting creative risk for me."
The 37-year-old actress feels there are very few complex roles available for women and says it's "exciting" to play a character that is different.
She added: "I think we feel underrepresented in different forms of media, or as people of colour - there's a longing for those characters to be perfect. To say, 'No, I'm not supposed to be an upstanding citizen for all women or a role model for all people of colour. I'm going to be a human being: three dimensional, messy and alive - both powerful and a little bit of a mess.' Now that's exciting."
Kerry recently earned her second Emmy nomination for playing Olivia but she admits she doesn't get "caught up" in awards hysteria.
She told Stylist magazine: "I love what I do and being able to do it is the most important thing to me."
'Scandal' Season 3 starts on July 31 at 9pm on Sky Living.

Cheryl Cole will be known as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on 'The X Factor'.
Voice artist Peter Dickson - who announces the judges and contestants to the stage on the live shows - has confirmed bosses have asked him to begin practicing Cheryl's new name following her secret wedding to French restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini earlier this month.
Appearing on the Capital FM's Capital Breakfast show this morning (23.07.14), he said: "I had a phone call a few weeks ago from the producers to tell me who the new judges were.
"They said, 'It's Cheryl', and I said, 'Oh, that's fine, she's back.' And they said, 'No, but she's changed her name. She's married Jean-Bernard and she wants to be known by his second name, so can you start practicing?' So I have been - not very successfully!"
Cheryl, 31, wed Jean-Bernard in Mustique in front of just four guests and it was recently reported she may be whisked off to her new husband's native France to film the Judges' Houses round of this year's 'X Factor'.
The singer is tipped to go to Nice in the south of France, where Jean-Bernard hails from, while new judge Mel B may film in Cancun, Mexico.

Billie Faiers named her daughter after her sister.
The 'TOWIE' star - who gave birth to her first child with her fiancé Greg Shephard earlier this month - announced the baby's name, Nellie, on Sunday night's (20.07.14) show and has since revealed the tot's middle name is to be Samantha in honour of her younger sibling, Sam.
She told OK! Magazine: "Greg and I thought it would be a lovely way to honour her as an auntie.
"I know that growing up, Samantha's always going to be there for her - and also, I really like the name Samantha."
Billie, 24 - who reduced her co-star Gemma Collins to tears when she showed off her bundle of joy on the latest episode of the ITV2 reality show - also revealed it was her mother who came up with the name Nellie.
She explained: "Mum and I were lying in bed and with the baby having a little snuggle, and Mum suddenly said: 'It's Nellie! She looks like a Nellie!' and immediately I was like, 'Yes, that's it!'
"So we started calling her Nelly and it is instantly clicked."
The pretty blonde and Greg, 29, had previously been struggling to agree on names for their newborn daughter.
She said: "We just haven't decided, it's so difficult. We've been Googling names and looking at her saying, 'Does she look like this?'
"All the women in our family have Elizabeth as their middle name so I think that will be hers.
"Greg liked the name Skyla but I was like, 'No way!'"

'Coronation Street' has been blasted by police over their restorative justice storyline.
The ITV soap recently aired scenes where Gail McIntyre (Helen Worth) met with Michael Rodwell (Les Dennis) in jail after he burgled her house but the plot - which has been branded "overly dramatic" and "disgraceful" - put a real-life crime victim off meeting the person who stole her credit card because she was "too scared".
Restorative Justice (RJ) worker Vickie Yardly did eventually get the woman - who had been in negotiations for four months - to meet the thief, who had also been put off by the show.
Vickie wrote to complain, slamming 'Coronation Street' bosses for their "completely inaccurate" storyline.
Tony Lloyd, Police and Crime Commissioner for Greater Manchester, added: "'Coronation Street' has done a fantastic job of raising important issues and bringing them to the public's attention. Unfortunately, on this one they have got it wrong."
Despite the complaints, show bosses insisted they consulted with the Restorative Justice Council to ensure accuracy in the storyline.
A spokesperson told The Sun newspaper: "We worked very closely with the Restorative Justice Council for this storyline, they helped throughout.
"Every case is different and ours is a fictional case.
