"EastEnders actress Lindsey Coulson has admitted that she thought the decision to kill off Billie Jackson was &amp;quot;premature&amp;quot;.  Billie, played by Devon Anderson, was found dead by his half-sister Bianca in last night&amp;#039;s highly-praised edition of the BBC soap.  &amp;quot;Part of me thinks that writing out Devon was a bit premature,&amp;quot; she told Inside Soap. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s very talented, and there were lots of stories they could have told about Billie.&amp;quot; Coulson added that although the plot has &amp;quot;huge shock value&amp;quot;, she was &amp;quot;so sad&amp;quot; to say goodbye to Anderson.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve known him since he was 6 years old, and we have a lovely relationship,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;When we had to play the scene where Carol sees Billie lying dead in the living room, it was really sad - not just because a mum had lost her son in tragic circumstances, but also because I felt almost as though I was losing Devon too.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Enders star praises shock Billie plot "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
