Soap star Christopher Coghill has revealed he was once hit over the head with a handbag by a viewer who was appalled at his on-screen antics. “And then you go out, and people go, ‘Oh, you’re brilliant in EastEnders’, and that was kind of it. I did have one woman at the at the petrol station going ‘oh, you’re right horrible to Moira’.” Ash said: “I think [Caleb and wife Ruby, played by Beth Cordingly] just don’t know how to handle him, like most people in the village. You just don’t know what you’re going to get from him.”
