I was a little bit shocked about! I wasn't quite sure how people would take her, because I thought she'd be a Marmite kind of character where you either love her or you hate her! But everyone's reactions have been so lovely, and people seem to like her! I'm really grateful for the reactions I've received from the Hollyoaks fans." She also made references to Mitzeee's upbringing, and claimed that viewers would see a "different side" to the character during the third series of Hollyoaks Later. Stalker and prison life In April 2012, Mitzeee starts to receive disturbing gifts due to her celebrity status. Neil Cooper (Tosin Cole) eventually admits to being her admirer but the strange gifts continue, leaving Mitzeee worried and paranoid.

Mitzeee doesn't have a clue whether she could have stabbed Mercedes, or if someone else came into the flat and did it." Mitzeee is later arrested and held in custody.
