Character Creation and Development
The character Honey Edwards was introduced in November 2005 by the executive producer Kate Harwood, as a love interest for Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick). Actress Emma Barton was chosen to play the role in September 2005, after a successful screen test with Perry Fenwick. Barton commented, "I can’t wait to join EastEnders and play Honey. She’s a really sweet girl, who always wants to do the best for everyone but she’s not exactly the brightest star in the sky." Barton was axed from the show in April 2008. A spokesperson for EastEnders said "Emma's a lovely actress, but we've just come to the end of her storyline. Honey will go this summer."
