Who are these other British soap actors who have 'made it big' in Hollywood?
Some have found work there, yes, and good on them, British actors seem to get more work these days over there then they did years ago, but who has 'made it big'?

It's because she plays a McQueen.
Still Jorgie Porter is talented enough to join the RSC. After all, they need someone to clean the toilets out at the venues they perform in.

Barry Sloane and Rob Kazinsky have done well. However Hollywood goes for stereotypes. For the nen it is tall athletic types. For the women the trend is for slim athletic, intelligent self reliant types. Jorgie doesn't fit any of that. She would have fitted well into the carry on films as a Barbara Windsor clone.

The best she will get is a straight to dvd film with crap CGI sharks where she gets her kit off

I doubt it.

Er, are you seriously suggesting Jorgie's not slim?
Awesome news. Didn't Jorgie spend quite a while in LA not too long ago with Anna Shaffer who played Ruby too? Maybe it gave her a taste for life over there. Glad she is going Theresa is an awful character and Jorgie an awful actress.

Yes
I'm genuinely disappointed.
I've really enjoyed Theresa in the Patrick storyline.
I've been a big critic of her in the past but she's one of the few things I like in the show at the moment!

If you're suggesting she's not slim enough then you need to get your checked because she's got an incredible body, that and the fact she's stunningly beautiful means she's perfect for Hollywood. She might not be the greatest actress but since when did matter over there. It's all about looks so she should fit right in.
Glad she isn't being killed off though so a return could be possible but do hope she makes it in Hollywood.

I think she's great too. She's been great acting with Jeremy Sheffield (Patrick Blake). I'm a bit sad that she's leaving as I enjoy watching her.

I agree, she's stunning. She's slim and curvy at the same time. She has a gorgeous curvy little bum! She also has a very beautiful face and lovely hair. Basically she looks great and I think she'll find it easy to find work in America. She looks like the "American Dream Girl" being pretty, sexy and blonde with a fit body. I'll miss her in Hollyoaks! Good luck to her in USA's Hollywood I hope she does well.
Can't see it working out at all, the actress doesn't seem that far removed from the character she plays. I can't see her in a big movie or tv show. Sharknado 4 maybe?

Sorry to disappoint but she isn't getting killed off. More than likely she'll probably go and live with Jacqui. And also what has actress done to make you not able to stand her?

Keira Knightley is the gold standard of acting?!
This is probably the first time Theresa hasn't annoyed me, her realtionship with Patrick is actually interesting, Jorgie isn't the best actress but her one liners and comic timing is good.
I still need to remind myself she is actually a mother of two children in HO, Kathleen Angel and Myra Pocahontas as you only ever see her with Minnie. i wonder if she will take her two children with her when she leaves or leave them in the hands of the McQueens who already seem to manage the creche with JP's son Matthew and possibly Mercedes' new baby as well?
