EastEnders' bosses axe "unruly" actress

I hope they don't recast. I still remember the terribleness that was Sam!!! Its a shame she got axed but she had warnings, and the BBC can't exactly condone her behaivour..even though a lot of people sneak into clubs underage she is high profile so can't really get away with it!

I seem to remember that there was an up roar a couple years ago with Lacey Turner in a Hotel and it was caught on CCTV?? I think she was warned and she was a bit more CAREFUL after that

its like in any job though, there are rules and after so many strikes you will be out. Its no different by the fact she may only be17 and that shes on telly. She has the benefits so has to have the cons that go with it. If she had any sense she would have listened to her warnings.

Can we now please get rid of the rest of the Beale clan.

Kim Medcalf's Sam was good imo

Shame, I quite like Lucy, she had a bit of a spark. Hope they don't re-cast, it never normally works.

These are the brazen photos sacked EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield believes destroyed her telly career.

The snaps of the 17-year-old wild child, posted on Facebook, included an image of her pouting next to a lollipop with the words: Suck me for pleasure.

It was the final straw for embarrassed soap bosses who had given the party-loving blonde THREE warnings to clean-up her act.

Filming her last scenes as Walford tearaway Lucy Beale this month, Melissa wrote on her web page: Sat in the green room at work, my last day very emotional!

I was a naughty girl outside of work, well that's what they have sacked me for, pathetic!

Referring to the lollipop pose that left bosses fuming, she said: This is the photo that destroyed my career, how pathetic.

And in response to surprised comments from networking pals, she repeated: Its *******ing pathetic... its classed as rude!

But the teenager who was pictured in last weeks People showing off her bottom in cut-off shorts confessed: It was in the rules and I did have 3 warnings... I'm gutted. But its all my fault.

Melissa wears a leopard-print bra-top and skirt hitched up to her thighs in one Facebook snap she took in a bedroom mirror.

She is also seen sticking out her tongue and flaunting her curves in a low-cut black mini-dress, smoking a cigarette on a stick and sitting at a table packed with booze.

Melissa, axed in May, made her debut as Lucy at 11, turning her into a headache for screen dad Ian and stepmum Jane Beale.

But the troublesome character is NOT being written out Lucy will be played by another actress after Melissa's final episodes are aired on BBC1 later this year.

An EastEnders spokesman said: Its common practice to recast actors employed as children to take on more challenging adult storylines.

If she was a good actress they probably would have kept her on.

[moonstorm]

I agre Dazzle, the photos arn't really that bad.

It doesnt seem like anybody is supporting her actions on this board thought there may be a little bit more sympathy for her. I dont know, I can understand that in a job you have to follow certain rules, but I agree that the photos are not bad at all. That thing about the lollipop you really dont know the context of it, there's plenty of them you can buy in blackpool as a joke. And who hasnt been in a club before the age of 18?! lol. Her character of Lucy is a wild child kinda adds something to the image.
