What sort of things do you get asked, as actresses, to do?

| You're careful not to misbehave too much when you go out - but when we girls get together in private, we can do exactly what we like |

T:It's not always fun - especially when you're playing a cow. My character, Natalie, is a complete bitch. She steals boyfriends, seeks attention and gets people into trouble. Apart from that, obviously. But every girl has a bit of bitch in her.
You're laying the blame at the feet of men then are you?
T:And it starts early, too. I remember when I was still at school, there was a group of us who would hang around the fields behind our gardens. My sister and I once encouraged a boy to strip off. It was just a bit of fun, certainly nothing dodgy, we were way too young for that.
Neither of you were exactly shy little girls, were you?
J:I was in a pop group called Girl Thing. It was a girl band, really, so there wasn't that much in the way of rock'n'roll antics, but one time in Cardiff we did manage to get a whole hotel evacuated after we accidentally set off the fire alarm. In fact, it was just the same as now: you're careful not to misbehave too much when you go out - but when we girls get together in private, we can do exactly what we like.
Hollyoaks has had its fair share of girl-on-girl encounters. Any chance of you two making the beast with four breasts?
J:And I don't know how my boyfriend would like it. He understands that I'm an actress, and I sometimes have to do stuff like that, but we've never had a conversation about if it was a girl.
So if you were going to do a lesbian scene, who'd be your lucky leading ladies?
T: Well, I've never considered it before, but if the role required it, it would be someone who I'd like to look like - so probably Angelina Jolie. She's got great eyes and lips.
So, for a night in with a nice bloke like myself, what would you wear for the seduction process?
J:It would be just the sort of thing we're wearing in these pictures, actually - sexy, but not trashy. This isn't exactly the kind of outfit you'd wear to pop down the corner shop for a pint of milk - but it is what I'd wear for someone special.
With Hollyoaks now a Sunday brunchtime omnibus and an extra show in the week, millions of men are waking up to you, plus you're servicing millions more five nights a week. How does that feel?
J:I know exactly what you're trying to get us to say, but... oh, what the hell. It feels great. OK?
