Tamzin Outhwaite Says EastEnders ‘Doof-Doof’ Still Triggers Her as She Lands Lead in ‘Abigail’s Party’ Tour

Her TV memories resurfaced during a Love Your Weekend chat that also highlighted her June return to the stage.

Overview

  • On February 1, Outhwaite told Love Your Weekend that the EastEnders cliffhanger drumbeat brings back intense emotions from past storylines.
  • She said the cue recalls periods of “sliding down walls” and crying during high-pressure plots from her years as Mel Owen.
  • Outhwaite added that a friend often teases her by playing the sound on his phone whenever they talk.
  • She has been cast as Beverly in Stratford East’s touring production of Abigail’s Party, opening in June at Malvern Theatres before visiting Bath, Fareham, Brighton, Leicester, London and Cambridge.
  • Fellow guest Jack Savoretti remarked on the theme’s nostalgia, saying the sound reminds him of his childhood.
