Tell us about shooting the dramatic scenes leading up to Sean’s arrest.

It was brilliant. I was in agony at the end of all the running, but it was great fun doing the wrestling to the floor and hiding out. It was like my first taste of being an action hero.

Do you think he’s capable of the attack on Patrick?

There is no doubt about that what-so-ever. Sean’s killed people. Let’s not forget he was in the army. He’s a violent person with a violent disposition. He lashes out. He can’t differentiate between friend or foe and he won’t allow anyone to get close to him.

How do get yourself worked up to film Sean’s angry scenes?

That comes really easily. Generally, if I’m going to get really angry I just punch a wall a few times, I scream a bit and then I start growling. I might have to stay like that for about an hour, which can be quite tiring.

Why does he behave the way he does?

He’s not naturally aggressive; he chooses to be because it gets a reaction. It’s a cry for help. The reason he challenges the alpha male characters in the Square is that he wants a father figure. He wants someone who can basically run him into the ground, then take him under his wing.

Does Sean really like Carly?

Until he knows himself and can forgive himself and actually let his guard down, he’s never going to be in a position where he can give to anybody other than himself. At the moment he’s a completely selfish, self-serving character.

Do you think there's a girl in Walford who can change Sean’s ways?

There’s not a single woman who can bring him out of himself, because he’s plagued by inner turmoil. Women can have a tempestuous fling with Sean, but they can’t ever have love with him, because he doesn’t love himself.

What does Sean make of the Mitchell sisters?

He’s not impressed with them as people, but he’s impressed with the way they look. You know, they’re hot! If they’re going to try and have one over on him he’s going to fight and he’s going to win. He’d much rather be making love not war with those two!

What will happen if he ever finds out about Max and Stacey?

I’m really hoping that there’s going to be a big old fight. I hope that Bradley and Sean join forces and kick seven shades out of Max.

Will we ever see a ‘good’ Sean?

The Sean you see now is a good Sean. He’s a nice guy, a good kid. He does the things he does because he just wants someone to help him. He’s a charming, affable guy when he wants to be. It’s just that you don’t cross him, ever.
