The actress, who stars as barmaid Whitney, noted that she is aware of the hatred many viewers feel for her character's affair.
"The reaction has been that some people like it and some people don't," she explained.
"It's a bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. So it's a divide."
When Shirley Carter (played by Linda Henry) learned of the pair's secret romance, she chased Whitney out of the pub and told her not to return.
