Speaking about the turn of events to Digital Spy, Paula said: "I was shocked! I was shocked anyway about Sean Ward leaving, never mind that I was going to do the deed. "I didn't feel too worried because I've always felt really looked after on the show and wanted here, so I didn't feel like it was a signal to say, 'Bye bye, you're going now'. "I was reassured that the storyline would allow more scope for stories for Kylie, so I definitely haven't been too worried about it." Kylie's future is hanging in the balance (image: ITV). As for what the future holds, Kylie revealed that there is more in store: "Yes, all I feel it provides me with is more drama and more stories to play out, so I can't wait. "It's literally pushing the boundaries as to how long you can keep a character for after they've committed such a big crime. It will stretch the character and that's really flattering, the fact that they do see so much more material for her."
