KATIE GRIFFITHS.........CHLO IN WATERLOO ROAD

North End Mam wrote:You were great on Waterloo Road, is there any chance that you might come back on the series?

At this moment in time, there is no chance of me & my character coming back to WLR, simply because she graduated.

North End Mam wrote:Being young it must have been difficult to do the scenes when Chlo was pregnant....did you have to have any special training?

Yes it was difficult, they gave me a bump to wear haha, which was very uncomfortable! They didn't really give me any training, Just told me to do the best I could and I guess I did!

North End Mam wrote:Which scenes in the series do you have fondest memories of? Which scenes are you proudest of?

I loved working on Series 3, with the wedding and the scenario with me, Donte, Chlo and Brett, they are all so lovely! I also enjoyed working on Series 1, because I was only 16 at the time we filmed it, and I guess I was exactly like my character- cocky!!

Jillyanne wrote:You're so beautiful and sexy, I envy you your looks. Do you have to work hard to keep your figure or does it come naturally? Is there a part of your body/appearance that you're specially proud of? Anything you'd change?

Haha I love this question! I have to keep an eye on what I eat yes, and I go to the gym twice a week. I hate my legs! If I could change them I would.

Jillyanne wrote:Do you sing and dance? Have you ever appeared in a musical? Or panto??

Yes I have, I starred in Wizard of Oz, and did a lot of theatre work when I went to Stage 84.

Jillyanne wrote:As a child did you always want to be an actress? Did you get leading parts in plays at school? Which actresses did you admire? Who did you want to be like?

Its what I've wanted to do since I was little. I loved watching Julia Roberts, she's one of my favourite actresses.

Jillyanne wrote:Did your family support your career choice or try to dissuade you?

Yes my family did support me and my decision, and I love them for that. Most parents would say get a real job, but mine supported me.

DellBoy wrote:Do you like football? Which team do you support?

I don't really watch football, that sounds really bad! I occasionally watch football games, but that's about it!

DellBoy wrote:Have you ever been to Southampton? Do you have memories of visits?

I think I came when I was a baby, can't remember it though, I was only young.

DellBoy wrote:Have you ever appeared in front of the cameras, or on stage, nude or partially nude? Would you if you were asked to?

I haven't no, I had a couple of scenes in WLR where I had to pretend I was in bed with Brett, but we had underwear on. Other than that, no! And I don't think I ever will.

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:Hi, are you superstitious? Are there things you do or things you wear for good luck?

I do! I wear a silver bracelet my grandma got me for my 16th birthday!

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:It must have been great working in Rock and Chips, what were Nicholas Lyndhurst and the others like to work with?

It was great fun to work with everybody on set. I loved it! I would definitely go back and film again.

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:What are you working on now? Are there likely to be programmes we can see you in soon?

At the moment I am not in any acting work, but I hope to be soon!

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:Have you ever been asked to appear on Strictly Come Dancing or a similar programme? What do you feel about the celebrity programmes like that?

If I was asked, I would do it. I love programmes like that! I haven't been asked yet..so let's wait and see!

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:How would you like your career to progress? Are you happier in comedy or dramatic roles?

I would love to work on a soap..I think it would be quite exciting!!

Dell-ta Dawn wrote:Can you tell us about some times things have gone embarrassingly wrong? Some embarrassing moments.........

I always used to get my words mixed up when I was on WLR, I was terrible! Everybody used to laugh at me.

Do you still watch Waterloo Road? , if so what are your thoughts on the current set of characters?

Hi hbk, welcome to our little forum.

I'll try to get a message to Katie to let her know you have asked her a question.....but it is nearly 3 months since she was on here and I don't know whether I'll be able to get her back on. Fingers crossed.....

I am optimistic that another ex-Waterloo Road actress, Ellie Paskell who played Maxine Barlow, may be coming on the website in the next few days and you may want to ask her the same question!!


Ellie Paskell as Maxine, between Janeece and Chlo
