Aaargh no Stephanie She could have been in Flashdance and picked Hollyoaks that is going way downhill. Aww I feel she made the wrong move there.

As Imonlywee said - Hollyoaks was great 2006-2008 and some great characters and actors, but they've all gone and jumped ship. I'm really disappointed - I think Stephanie would have been great in Flashdance.

(though I have reservations about the level required for Hollyoaks)
OT, but I don't think that's fair to say at all. Some of the actors in Hollyoaks have been brilliant. I'm not a huge HO fan, but it does get a lot of stick for hiring people that are just good looking.. and while some of the actors do not compare to the likes of Lacey Turner and others in the different soaps, some of the HO cast have been fantastic over the years.

Anyway, as for Stephanie, maybe she would prefer to do TV? She's done it before, so maybe it is where she ultimately wants to be?

Then why audition for Over The Rainbow?

I think it's perfectly fair to say I have reservations about the level of acting required for Hollyoaks - because I do! I've only caught bits of it when at friends' houses, and I got splinters just watching some of it. So it's not an in-depth analysis of the acting talents of those who have appeared in the show, just a throwaway comment based on my own (admittedly limited) observations. As a big MT fan I'd much rather see talented performers going down that route than being wasted in trashy TV soaps. But like I say, there are plus points for her going down this route and ultimately it's her call.

Another plus...Stephanie fans will get to see her nearly every day/week! (unless they do a Zoe Lister on her and you see her once every 3 weeks. lol!)

Where as some of us may not see our fave for agggggges.

I was not an amused Lister fan! She deserved better! They were hardly in it then they get the most boring exits..after all the drama. lol! Plus Zoe Lister, Loui Batley and Emma Rigby all held the show together last year in my opinion. Only storylines worth watching! Still raging at who was up for Best Actress at the soap awards for Hollyoaks when they had NO storyline! Ok im calm... hey at least Zoe, Loui etc won the ONLY award for Hollyoaks. Well that's what they get.

Although I am not an Emma Rigby fan. Still a good actress. Bit overrated but that's the way it goes.

I know! Sigh. Loui/Zoe were just awesome.

I do love Emma, if only for her anorexia storyline although, it peeved me off that they didn't really know what to do with her after that. "Hm.. have a relapse for a day love.. ok you're done."

Hannah is so annoying. lol!

Twas all about the Lister for me, part of the reason I don't watch anymore. Although it does have some great actresses still..Jessica Fox, Claire Cooper.. im sure Stephanie will add to that!

I don't think it's a good sign that almost all of the current PR around this story focuses on actress Alex Fletcher - who played Jacqui Dixon in Brookside YEARS ago. I think this is a step back for Stephanie...

I think it's good for Stephanie in that it'll give her good experience and will give her a bigger profile should she try for a big MT role in the future.

I apologise if this next bit sounds bitchy but it does look like she turned down a role which would have given her great MT experience, doing what she apparently wanted to do, to get her face on TV, and not good TV at that.
That thought crossed my mind. Especially as she apparently turned down a West End role to take the Hollyoaks one.

oh man that is weird. I had a dream about her being in an ep of Hollyoaks.

i don't watch it any more, becuase it became so boring. It's better than a slap in the face I suppose, and pays quite a bit of money.

Oh, and DS and Channel 4 haven't leaked it, they have announced it, its c4 who do the confirming not Stephanie. Sorry to be pedantic .

maybe she does want to be in telly ultimately, maybe she did otr for exposure..

I would put a different spin on that and say maybe she just doesn't know what to do with all that talent haha! Considering she is 17 I would imagine that she is just trying out different things and finding out where she wants to be

Even if Hollyoaks doesn't do anything for her I don't think it will be that much of a hinderance??? If someone is casting at an audition then they shouldn't disregard someone just because they've been in Hollyoaks should they....?

It would be brilliant if Hollyoaks started becoming watchable again... hahayou know what I mean!! It sounds like they're trying to revive it so if it comes good, then good times

don't know how I'm going to react watching it in august but that's for another thread :P I'm glad this has revived the forum haha

Nope. Being Irish, a LOT of people around me have that name.. including a girl who bullied me when I was younger. I hate it

I don't know about Fame Academy, but I was thinking of this Sinead O'Connor:

The soap is filmed close to Liverpool, and Stephanie is still a young girl, she may want to remain close to her family.

The part she was offered in Flashdance may have been small, and working on Hollyoaks will take up less of her time.

Also, ALW has made a deal with Hollyoaks in the past with Summer.

I agree with all the comments made about Hollyoaks though, started going totally downhill after Kirkwood left.

I loved the Later episodes he produced last year, just shows you how good Hollyoaks used to be. Sarah's death was absolutely amazing (the way it was filmed etc )

I think the new producer means business though, he's already axed loads of people, and all the people no one wants anymore
