EastEnders Tosh hits Tina.

Tuesday night's episode of the British soap opera EastEnders featured another clash between Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) and Fiona 'Tosh' Mackintosh (Rebecca Scroggs), which saw the latter punch her girlfriend after being slapped. The storyline is earning praise for its realistic portrayal of domestic violence.

"We were very conscious that the storyline needed to portray the very real experiences our service users tell us about. Although there are a number of similarities to women experiencing abuse in heterosexual relationships - the ways they can all experience psychological, sexual, physical and financial violence and abuse - the one main issue that differs is the lack of support services available to LGBT survivors or perpetrators."

Best known for his performance on a top rated soap opera for over 34 years, it's surprising to hear Braeden express that he did not initially intend on sticking.

"I thought I was going to do it for three months," he explained. "I couldn’t stand the medium. It was too fast. It was too – it was simply too fast."

Braeden goes on to add, "They introduced one storyline that I liked very much, when they explained why Victor Newman was who he was, he had grown up in an orphanage, and that explained his character. And I knew then that I could tap into something deeply emotional. The moment I played that scene with Nikki.. when she asked about my background...when I finished that scene I said, 'Now I'm gonna stay.'"

Actress Molly Burnett is returning to NBC soap opera Days of our Lives as Melanie Jonas on Friday, November 21.

"I'm moving back to Salem," Melanie reveals to Maggie (Suzanne Rogers).

Melanie comes home after making a "big mistake" in Europe.

"She made a very typical Melanie mistake," Burnett explains in an interview with TV Guide Magazine. "I'm serious when I say she's grown and evolved but a person doesn't change too much. Maggie hasn't been there to smack her around. The people who really know her — Daniel, Maggie, Brady — are suspicious. They love her and trust her but something seems off. She's not lying to them to be conniving. She did some dumb things while she was away and doesn't want her loved ones to know. She really hates letting people down."

Watch a sneak peek of Melanie's return in the clip below:



Burnett has been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards and one Indie Series Award during her career which includes roles in Addicts Anonymous, Empire, Venice, True Blood and Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous.
