EastEnders star Clair Norris has bid a final farewell to Bernadette Taylor following an emotional exit.

This week, Bernie has been embroiled in a lot of drama after stealing money from the Panesar accounts. The café worker was put in charge of the Panesar businesses by Nish (Navin Chowdhry) before his death in January.

She also told her cousin Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison) that his boyfriend Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) was complicit in concealing Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder.

After Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) realised Bernie was responsible for the missing money, and not Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), they set out to get their cash back.

Meanwhile, as The Six pleaded with Suki (Balvinder Sopal) to let Bernie go to protect their secret, Felix arrived, dressed as his alter ego Tara Misu and ready to join Bernie for a fresh start.

After transferring a final £25k payment into her account as part of her revenge plot, Suki agreed to leave Bernie be, and just as Ravi and the rest of the family rushed over to stop Bernie, she and Felix were driven away from Walford for good in a classic black cab.

Clair, 28, joined the BBC soap back in 2017 with the Taylor family quickly becoming a much loved edition to Walford.
