AN EastEnders star is trying to flog their old scripts to fans after being axed from the soap 12 years ago.
Heather Trott was a viewer favourite in Albert Square, with the George Michael superfan played by Cheryl Fergison for nearly five years.

However, the actress was left devastated when EastEnders bosses killed off the character in 2012.
Now Cheryl, 59, is trying to flog her decade-old scripts to make cash.
She’s charging fans of Minute Mart employee Heather £50 to own one of her scripts from the soap – as well as five quid for postage.
The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate is also offering signed pictures from her time in Walford at a cost of £5 plus postage fees.
It comes after mum-of-one Cheryl revealed she wanted to do more TV work in an honest social media video with fans about her money woes.
She said: “What I want to put out is the terrible misconception by the general public that we are all rich.
“That is far beyond the truth. I’ve been out of EastEnders for nearly 13 years, in fact more than that I left in 2012.
“I’ve done jobs in between and I’ve done panto, I’m doing it this year but the jobs are kind of like… they’re continuous, they’re not like being in a soap all the time.
“Unless you’re someone like George Clooney or an A-lister American star that gets millions for their films, it’s very difficult – in inverted commas – to be rich.”
She added: “You just gotta get by to keep a roof over your head and that’s about it.
“Some people don’t understand that like everyone else we have bills to pay, rent to pay. We have to keep everything ticking and sometimes people, like myself, have to cover jobs.
“People say ‘oh are you not acting anymore, you not doing it anymore’ and they fail to realise we still have to keep a roof over our heads and keep the bills being paid so we will do any job to kind of keep that going.”
In another clip posted to her TikTok, Cheryl said she’s always wanted to do I’m A Celebrity, though ITV have never booked her.
Heather Trott was brutally murdered by Ben Mitchell when he whacked her with a picture frame, sending her falling to the ground and hitting her head off the kitchen counter.
Ben, who was played by Joshua Pascoe at the time, was later jailed for his crimes despite dad Phil attempting to cover it up.
