'Britain's most-hated soap villain' unrecognisable in BBC drama 22 years after soap exit
An soap legend looked unrecognisable as he made an appearance in a new thrilling TV series - over 20 years since his exit.
Alex Ferns shot to fame playing Trevor Morgan on the BBC One soap EastEnders - making his debut in 2000. Playing bad guy Trevor, the character was once dubbed the UK’s “most-hated soap villain.”
He is famed for abusing his wife Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth), who eventually went on to hit him with an iron to protect herself in one of the most iconic scenes on the soap.
Trevor ended up getting killed off in 2002 when he was killed in a fire in the house he shared with Mo. However, 24 years on and actor Alex was back on screens recently for a brand new TV drama.

Penned by BAFTA-winning writer Nick Leather, who also crafted Mother's Day and The Control Room, Nightsleeper is packed with "personal intrigue, political manoeuvring and danger".
And one of the passengers on board was Alex’s character, Arran Moy. And it didn’t take long for viewers watching Nightsleeper to spot him on the show.
