How the hell is she an actress if she has a shocking memory, I wonder? I imagine her memory's good enough to remember her lines, so her memory can't be as bad as she says it is. Either that, or she's doing take...after take...after take etc...
Lucy — "I have a shocking memory".
Maybe don't take things so literally and/or see it in context?
She said this when they were allocating specific tasks based on people's strengths. All she really may have meant is that she'd be a poor choice for a memory-based one.
People say things off the cuff that have elements of truth in them but are not necessarily the whole truth. Like a lot of people, she may have good memory for some things and poor memory for other things.

Ummmm cos she's in a soap where they film very short takes so it's not that taxing to remember a couple of lines. Its not like she's performing Shakespeare every night you know?
learning lines through repetiion is a piece of piss, you don't need a good memory just not be a goldfish

I've seen scenes that have lasted more than 10 seconds. If each camera angle means the end of a take, fair enough.
remember also that they had no idea what the memory task would actually involve before dishing out who did what, and according to lots of soap stars once you start working on one you short term memory becomes fantastic but your long term memory gets 'shot to hell' - I think had she known the task she may have done it and been good, but Matthew was fantastic, but just by saying 'memory test' could mean anything.
Lucy is very self deprecatory as according to her she doesn't have any talents. I can't help feeling she's being a tad disingenuous here.
