DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER IN A FEW WORDS:
Phyl is not as hard as she would like to be but more selfish than she thinks she is.

DOES PHYL CONTINUE TO EMBRACE HER LOVE OF ALCOHOL THIS SERIES?
Oh yes, Phyl still loves her alcohol! So much so it gets her in to a spot of bother.

PHYL AND BEV GOT UP TO QUITE A BIT OF MISCHIEF LAST SERIES WITH THE POISONING STORYLINE – CAN WE EXPECT ANY MORE ANTICS THIS SERIES?
This series Phyl and Bev pick up the pace in regards to their antics – they really push the boundaries.

DOES THEIR FRIENDSHIP REMAIN AS STRONG IN THIS SERIES?
Their differences are causing rifts. Phyl is (in her opinion) ballsier and brighter than Bev.

AS ALWAYS, THE INMATES HAVE A TOUCHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCREWS. DOES THIS IMPROVE THIS SERIES AND WHY/WHY NOT?
Phyl seems to pick her fights with the top of the pile – ie, the Governor so I think it is safe to say her relationship with them doesn’t improve!

NOW ON TO YOU:

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE THE LAST SERIES?
I have filmed a guest appearance as myself on “The Bold and the Beautiful”. I have also done a tour of the National Theatre play “Dinner”.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE SUMMER?
I’m heading off to Malibu.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PROJECTS LINED UP AFTER BAD GIRLS AND IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY CHARITY WORK AS A RESULT OF YOUR ROLE IN BAD GIRLS?

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL WAY TO SPEND A WEEKEND (WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING)?
I love to spend a weekend at my beach hut in Somerset – my grandson loves it there.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL ACTING ROLE?
What ever I decide to commit to.

IF YOU COULD INVITE THREE PEOPLE TO DINNER, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD THEY BE?

ARE YOU STILL DIVIDING YOUR TIME BETWEEN YOUR HOMES IN AMERICA AND ENGLAND? WHAT ARE THE BEST TIMES OF YEAR TO SPEND IN EACH COUNTRY?
Yes, June will be in England. The rest of the year in America as far as the weather is concerned. The best times come when they are all over the world.
