Yes hollyoaks is a younger kinda show Kathy you aren't wrong, I didn't have a "stage name" as such for it because I wasn't ever a main character.
Basically back story was, I left school and started acting in LIPA which is founded by Paul mccartney from the beatles.
After few months I got an agent through LIPA and I did all my actor headshots etc, After 3 days of being on his books I got the call for hollyoaks.
Originally it was meant to just be 1 scene in 1 ep but a "walk on 2" role which meant I was feature more and spoke abit, So I was over moon with that because I had never done TV acting at time.
So I went met everyone and done the scene only had 2 lines then the producer pulled me aside after I finished and said will you come in tomorrow because we want to feature you in a few more eps.
So phoned my agent asked if he is okay with me doing more which he was he was getting 15% of my earnings so went back next day met everyone I was going to be working with and got a script where they had penciled me into a few scenes with the younger guy who played the police mans brother.
In the scenes I was referred to as "Ell" a few times which could of stood for Elliott or Ellis, I ended up doing over 20 scenes and featured in 10 eps over the 12 weeks.
After that I got into few musicals LIPA wanted to push me down that lane because I could sing aswell, At first I wasn't at all interested in musicals after doing TV work.
However once doing my first musical I preferred it it was all live and just so much easier than TV.
Sometimes on Hollyoaks I was filming until 3am in the morning after being in from 9am it was freezing we had to redo our scenes over and over until they found it "perfect" so when I did musicals I thought no I prefer this!!
Then everything happened with my Auntie, I was turning down jobs, Hollyoaks wanted me back on a bigger scale I think it was something like over 100 scenes over the 6 months give me a back story give me full name and I turned it down which I do regret but I wasn't in the right place anything that was coming in I just turned down I didn't care about the pay I didn't care about anything I was in such a shit place that acting was way down on my list!
But yes my 3 month hollyoaks role wasn't anything massive Kathy but it was certainly my foot in the door at the time and give me a taste of it plus I didn't realise how much money actors made for TV work, God knows what money the "full time" ones was paid because I was blown away with my fee for just 10 eps.
Back on topic anyway, I'll post a video of Ditzy chicks tomorrow, They are due to fledge Wednesday to Friday that is the 19 - 21 day mark!
