Michelle Keegan has opened up about her character's fate in Brassic season 7.
The actor plays Erin Croft in the hit Sky comedy, which returned to screens with another instalment in September.

"I don’t think she’d move away," she said. "I don’t think her heart is in that. I think she needs to be around her gang because that’s also her family too. So I feel it’d be sad for her to move away on her own.
"I feel like her heart is with Vinnie and in Hawley with the rest of the group. I hope it all ends happily for her because she deserves it."

Talking ahead of the season six finale, Keegan admitted that it was an "emotional" one to film.
"It’s on a knife edge for all of them," she told the publication. "I got a bit emotional at the end, and someone else said they had a tear at the end as well.
"It’s quite an emotional episode that one, anyway. You have no idea what’s happened to the gang, but they do!"
Keegan's fellow co-stars have also teased a "really intense" finale episode, with Parth Thakerar (who plays car technician JJ Jovani) telling audiences to expect "a big, big shock".
Brassic airs on Sky Max and NOW, and seasons 1-4 are now on Netflix.
