Danny Dyer revealed a cringeworthy scene on EastEnders that he and his co-stars never repeated.

Mick had experienced many intense and dramatic moments during his time in the bustling town of Walford. As a former star on the popular BBC soap EastEnders, actor Danny Dyer recently opened up about his personal experience with the show's iconic "doof doof" moments. These infamous nine drum beats have been a staple of the show since its debut in 1985, adding a suspenseful and thrilling conclusion to each episode.
Interestingly, the origins of the "doof doof" can be traced back to an accidental inclusion in the show's iconic theme tune by musician Simon May. Impressed by the effect, the show's creators Julia Smith and Tony Holland decided to keep it as part of the end credits. Eventually, the drum beats made their way into the opening titles in 1994.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a "doof doof" moment refers to the final scene of an episode where the characters make a shocking move or statement, often causing the action to freeze as the intense drum roll plays out. However, despite their popularity among viewers, Danny described these moments as "awkward" during his nine-year stint on the show as Mick Carter. In fact, his character had a staggering 140 of these moments, making him one of the top characters with the most "doof doofs" in 2018.
While Phil Mitchell currently holds the record with 424 "doof doofs" since 1990, Danny's character Mick had his fair share of intense and dramatic moments during his time on the show. In a recent interview on the comedy podcast "Off Menu", Danny revealed that he found these moments to be "horrible" and "awkward". He joked that the common myth among actors of skipping to the back of the script to see the "doof doof" was not true, as it was a moment dreaded by many.
Danny also shared the process behind creating these suspenseful moments, explaining that the actors had to hold a specific gaze for about eight seconds before the drum roll kicks in. He likened it to looking constipated or trying to hold in a laugh, which was another challenge he faced during one of his "doof doof" moments. Despite his initial fear and discomfort, Danny admits that he did have a few memorable "doof doof" moments during his time on the show.
Since his departure from EastEnders, Danny has kept busy with various acting projects, including a leading role in the Sky series "Mr Bigstuff" and the Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's "Rivals". However, fans are still hoping for his return to the show, especially as the 40th anniversary approaches. In a recent interview, Danny shared his interest in reprising his role as Mick and saving his on-screen wife Linda from her current predicament as a murderess.
It seems that the intense and dramatic moments of EastEnders are not limited to just the show itself, as Danny's personal experience with the "doof doofs" shows. But despite their challenges, these iconic moments have become an integral part of the show's history and continue to captivate viewers with their suspense and drama. As fans eagerly await the 40th anniversary celebrations, it remains to be seen if Danny will make a grand return to the show and add more "doof doofs" to his impressive track record.
