Like what has been already you don't get sacked with immediate effect for no reason. I really hope some of the stories have been exaggerated for her sake. Whether you're a fan or not I'm sure no one wants see her going down the lohan route.

I think she is in damage limitation now by orders of her management. Doesn't come clean about what happened, just suitably vague with "don't believe all you read. suggesting she wasn't sacked for the reasons previously outlined in the statement. I know it is no one's business, but of course viewers are going to be curious.

Well no of course not, I never disputed that. I hope so too, I hope she's being young and silly rather than having a serious problem. Maybe she'll learn from this and be a lot more professional in future.

Now there's no real purpose for Scott. Could BK give him the boot?

We can only hope.

I find it unbelievable that her agents would have put out a statement saying she was fired (after multiple previous warnings, presumaby) for lateness, non-attendance and being drunk, if it wasn't true. If anything, I'd be inclined to believe they had downplayed it and hoped that this statement would satisfy curiosity and detract attention from any more serious indiscretions.

So, discounting any other speculation that might be floating around online, I'm pretty sure that the attendance issues and drunkeness is true - after all, Steph wasn't fired for overfilling the green room with fluffy kittens. She was given numerous opportunities to sort herself out, but obviously thought she was above it all and bulletproof.

She was fired for a reason, and unless she's suggesting that the statement put out by her own agent is false, then she needs to own her problems and behaviour, admit that she's messed up and say she's sorry for it. And If she doesn't regret the situation she's found herself in, girl has definitely got issues!

Agree why would her agent release information that can damage her reputation if its not true. If she's turning up to work drunk on more than one occasion then she has a serious drink problem but if she denies it happened then there is no problem.

She is saying not to believe what you read but it was her agent that put out a statement saying she turned up unfit to work due to her drunk and that she had previous warnings.

I think she will have real trouble resurrecting her acting career after this as no Casting Agent will touch her with a barge pole after she has shown to be unprofessional.

I'm sure there are other actors who've done far worse and still found work. She just needs to realise she has a problem and deal with it.

Not an actor, but TV presenter Richard Bacon is one example. Sacked from Blue Peter for being seen snorting coke, but has still found plenty of work since.

Angus Deyton to.

I was thinking that as well. Apart from the statement from her agent that is being referred to (& that I believe), there have been articles about her flashing her bits in a revealing dress that may have contributed to her being sacked. That it was 20 incidents, that she wasn't allowed at one point to hold a baby in a scene because of concern for the state she was in etc. All this types of stories have been splashed online & (I think) in the papers since she was sacked, maybe she was referring to that & not the statement by her agent!!!

I dont think so, her agent's "thrown her under a bus", I've never heard an agent be so candid before so she must have pi**ed them off big time

Do you really think her agent released the statement without her knowledge & permission & that she didn't know what would be said?

Why would they need her permission? I have no idea whether or not they discussed it with her as I wasnt a fly on that wall but the statement has all the hallmarks of a very pi**ed off agent. It was completely candid with no attempt at spin

It is very possible she was not consulted as the statement just told the facts in reply to a question. The agents get a cut from her employment. Each time she was given a warning they would advise her to stop that behaviour. As someone posted it sounds like the agents have reached the end of their tether. I have not read a statement like that from an agent with no spin on it at all.

So next stop a spell in "Celebrity" Big Brother?

Sounds like she needs a spell in Rehab more!

Yes indeed but you can bet if she did go into CBB they'd do their best to get her plastered all in the name of entertainment.

I'm shocked and not shocked, if that makes any sense.

I've thought for a while that Steph's acting has not been at the same level as it used to be. She used to be brilliant as Sinead and she gave 100% but for a while now it's been quite obvious that she hasn't been giving it her all. I honestly have been wondering if there is something going on in her personal life that could be affecting her work.

She doesn't have a problem, she's just doing what lots of young girls up and down the country do each week.

Just unfortunate that she was sacked from a high profile show like Hollyoaks, I'd bet there are plenty of girls who've been sacked for turning up drunk to their job.

Good. I don't ever wanna see her horrible character back so she can keep on like this until she's annoyed everyone in the industry so much she's scanning items at Aldi.

Hollyoaks related though not about Stephanie Davies - Helen Pearson caught drink-driving

It's all happening at the moment, isn't it?



He's just as much to blame, or more so, than she is. He was in a relationship. I hate it when people use the term "stole" when referring to relationship break-ups. It isn't possible to "steal" somebody.

In both cases, it took a long time to get more work, mainly because they were seen as a huge risk. There are also numerous people whose careers never recovered - Anthea Turner being an obvious example.

I think she may struggle to get more work. There is a widely held perception of Hollyoaks actors and, particularly, young actresses, that they can't act and are cast purely based on looks rather than talent. On top of that, she now has a reputation as someone who has had persistent timekeeping and attendance issues and has turned up on set unfit for work.
