Eastenders star Joe Absolom's life 23 years on from soap stardom
Eastenders' Matthew Rose - who was played by Joe Absolom - was wrongfully sentenced to prison time for the murder of Saskia Duncan over 20 years ago.
The storyline captivated fans with newspapers even starting nationwide campaigns for the character's release, reports the Mirror. The actor has been based in Cornwall for 14 years after relocating with his wife and their children while filming the show. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "I remember sitting on the beach in Cornwall with [Lyla] on a day off from filming. She was asking where the tide had gone. I made up some sort of hare-brained father’s explanation. We drove back to London the next day and unfortunately a teenager had just been murdered outside our local supermarket."
