prison. Myra is convinced that Mitzeee stabbed her daughter and uses this opportunity to get revenge. Shenton told All About Soap: "I think at that point Mitzeee just wonders if things could get any worse for her. She's already having a really rough time, and then Myra shows up. It's a very calculated decision on Myra's part to get moved to the same jail. Myra will battle tooth and nail for her daughter, and you can just imagine the fighting spirit she has. There's a lot of serious verbal scrapping between Myra and Mitzeee, which in some ways is worse than a punch-up." Shenton also said that Riley is not as supportive as Mitzeee would like him to be as he is dealing with his own problems back in the village.

Shenton said in September 2012 that Mitzeee will play a big role in the fifth series of Hollyoaks Later.

Commenting on her exit, Shenton said: "Mitzeee's final week is not to be missed [...] I've had an amazing two years
