Trivia

Actress Amy Nuttall claimed in 2009 that she regretted doing sexy photo-shoots while she was in the series but had been encouraged to by the production team. She was quoted: "I was kind of told that if you do this you will get bigger and better storylines. They said that the more attention you got, the bigger the character would grow, therefore there would be more to do."

Quotes
