STUN HILL (15/02/07)

From The Sun:
 
ITV are sexing up The Bill after signing Hollyoaks stunner Ali Bastian AND ex-Hear’Say singer Suzanne Shaw.

Ali — best known as stabbed jailbird Becca in the Channel 4 soap — will play Sun Hill rookie Sally Armstrong.

The fiesty PC appears at the station in July. It is her first posting after passing her probationary period.

Ali, 25, said: “Sally certainly knows her own mind and what she wants out of life and I think there are going to be a few casualties along the way. I’m looking forward to getting started — one of my first jobs is to meet with Met Police to research the part. It’s going to be really exciting — seeing how it’s all done for real.”

Executive producer Johnathan Young added: “We’ve got some great storylines for her.”

Last night Hollyoaks fans saw young mum Becca Dean fatally stabbed by her cellmate.

Teacher Becca — jailed over a fling with a pupil — dies in hospital from a heart attack after six turbulent years in the soap. Bill fans will also see fellow blonde Suzanne, 25, guest starring as a car crash victim. She has already filmed her scenes for a June episode.

Her character Laura is cut from the driver’s seat as PCs Will Fletcher (Gary Lucy) and Diane Noble (Kaye Wragg) arrive on the scene.

But events take a bizarre turn when Laura later claims she was not driving.
