From The Sun newspaper:
Bernie
Nolan is quitting The Bill to pursue her singing career.
After two-and-a-half years, the actress, who plays WPC
Sheelagh Murphy in the ITV cop drama, will leave Sun Hill in the autumn in
an explosive storyline involving an affair with Gabriel
Kent (Todd Carty).
Bernie, who shot to stardom as a
member of the popular Irish group 'The Nolans' said: "I am about to release
my first solo album, so it made perfect sense to take a break from the show now.
Commenting on the storyline, she added: "It will prove to be a disaster
beyond her wildest dreams."
"Sheelagh is a very popular character," a spokesperson stated.
"The door will be left open for her."
