Clair Norris's departure from EastEnders marks the end of the Taylor family's storyline. Norris expressed gratitude for her role as Bernadette Taylor, which began in 2017 and significantly impacted her life. In the plot, Bernadette leaves after engaging in theft from the Panesars, preemptively escaping consequences. She shared her emotional farewell on social media, reflecting on the show's familial atmosphere and the support she received. Her portrayal of Bernie resonated with many, representing individuals who feel different or out of place. Her departure elicited well wishes from co-stars.
EastEnders was my first audition, and my first job. Having come from college and having no experience in this industry, Julia, Wayne and Sean all took a chance on me to play Bernadette Taylor and for that, I can't be thankful enough. Eight years later and honestly, this job has changed my life.
I will always have an attachment to Bernie, she represents so many girls out there who wear their hearts on their sleeves and don't quite fit in... I have adored playing her and she will forever hold a special place in my heart.
