Hollyoaks' Stephanie Davis eyes Coronation St role
Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis has said she would love to join the cast of Coronation Street - and would be particularly keen to play Tina McIntyre's sister. The brunette plays troubled Sinead O'Connor in the Chester-based soap and despite previously auditioning for the role of Dorothy on BBC1's Over, sees her future in TV. "I loved Zoe Slater in EastEnders so it would have been nice to play her - or Tina McIntyre from Coronation Street," Stephanie told Inside Soap. "She's quite like Sinead, and I think I could play Tina's sister - we look a bit like each other." Stephanie added that while she loves playing the mischievous teen she isn't keen on her racy wardrobe. "Sometimes I look at her outfits and think, 'That's okay', but other days I think, 'Oh no!'" she admitted. "She goes for more outlandish stuff than I do - I've recently been filming scenes in a black see-through top with red bra underneath." However the 18-year-old added that she was a lot more like Sinead when it came to romance. "I like the bad-boy types," she confessed. It does my head in sometimes, as I wish I could go for the nice boys, but I just never seem to be able to!"
