[edit] Character History

When Steph first arrived she was Zara Morgan's bitchy school friend. She loved nothing more than humiliating and bullying others. Her most notable campaign was against Lisa Hunter who hung around with Steph and her friends Abby Davies and Zara, making her self-harm issues worse with her bullying tactics. Her cruelty towards Lisa reached a climax when she obtained photographic evidence of Lisa's boyfriend Brian Drake cheating on her with Zara Morgan. Whilst Lisa was singing as part of the show at the school prom Steph projected a photo of Brian and Zara kissing onto the wall for all to see. Lisa, heartbroken self harmed and ended up in hospital. Steph took great delight in telling everyone Lisa had tried to kill herself. Steph ended up having to grovel to her friends who were disgusted by what she had done. This never stopped Steph having sly digs at Lisa about self harm, especially when she discovered that Lisa's brother-in-law Toby Mills was the serial killer who had attacked her and left her with epilepsy. Steph and Lisa finally put the past behind them when they started university. They agreed to put the past behind them and Steph apologised for the way she treated Lisa over the years.

Steph has always been aware of her attractiveness. During her school days she had a bit of a reputation as the school slapper. She slept with Brian Drake whilst he was going out with Zara, and footballer Scott Anderson to name two, but we were always led to believe she had also slept with off screen characters too. Following Steph's diagnosis of epilepsy she worried that guys would no longer be attracted to her and to try and prove to herself she was still desirable she got together with Darren Osborne, he later dumped her after she had a seizure. Steph's attack by Toby Mills was the turning point where she calmed down and became nicer towards others, probably because she realised through the reactions she had from people about her epilepsy that it was wrong to judge others. That doesn't mean that flashes of the old Steph don't rear their head from time to time, but these days she does consider others feelings more.

Steph has acted in a television commercial for rugs and, like her older sister Debbie, enjoys singing. Although she complains about them, she maintains a close relationship with most of her family, the only exception being her father Johnno, who impregnated and ran off with a nineteen-year-old and her baby half-brother, whom she has never met.

Steph's most recent relationship was with OCD sufferer Cameron Clark. She spent a while in denial about her feelings for him, mainly because Cameron's geeky image didn't fit in with the type of man she usually went for. In the end she decided that didn't matter. Their relationship was far from easy though as it became clear Cameron was suffering from OCD. Steph showed everyone how she had really grown up and changed from the school-bully she once was by sticking with Cameron and helping him through his problems. She went on to prove once more she had changed by setting up an audition for Cameron with a local band even though she knew that it would mean her losing him and the end of their relationship. Putting on a brave face she waved Cameron off as he went on tour around Europe with the band.

She is staying in Hollyoaks and now hates Becca Dean (her sister-in-law) because of her affair with Justin. She has failed her exams in college so she will have to retake them. She has appeared in Bid Crazy TV and got in a fight with the presenter.

She is now trying to become a singer with her terribly strong voice. She is trying to be in a girl band (X-Pose) with step-brother Darren as her agent. She got £500 off her mother for the film reel which was meant to be made. For the next £500 she had to lap-dance. A sly Darren however, kept £150 off the money earned. She then found out that she had been conned along with four other girls. Steph's latest escapade has seen her doing a kiss and tell story on celebrity Joe Jones who she met after her sister Debbie (played by Jodi Albert) returned for a brief visit and set up an audition for Steph to try and become one of Joe's backing singers. Steph failed the audition and feeling jealous of her sister's success after hearing she had a job in a west end show decided she was going to get fame one way or another. She went to a party that Debbie told her about and met famous pop star Joe Jones who she went on to sleep with, believing that he would invite her on tour with him, but he didn't. Outraged, Steph sold her story to a tabloid and a TV show angering her family and causing Debbie to lose her job.
