As Karen Wolek, who had to admit to being a prostitute on the witness stand at her friend's murder trial. The scene is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSLLTBaR9gQ&feature=related here]. She won the 1980 Daytime Emmy for Best Actress for that scene, BTW.
* Lacey Turner was fairly well-known in Britain for portraying Stacey Slater in popular soap opera ''[[Eastenders]]''. When she was cast in the third season of ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'', many fans groaned at the prospect of having to sit through the performance of an actress largely known for shouting loudly at everyone else in the room. The fanbase was very pleasantly surprised when she turned in a surprisingly nuanced performance as vengeful murder victim Lia.

* [[The Young Ones|Adrian]] [[Bottom|Edmondson]] on ''[[Holby City]]''.
