I watched the re-run on BBC2 this morning and wondered if anyone knows
what became of the actress Samantha Lewis who played Georgina Hayes?

Thanks in advance

Can't argue with that!

I asked this very question a couple of months ago. Didn't get much of
a response, apart from someone who said she was spotted cheerleading
at some sporting event or other.

This bit of news is way out of date but in 1991 and
1992 she was a cheerleader for the London Monarchs,
aka "The Crown Jewels". If you can find any game
programmes from that time, you will see her in
a skimpy cheerleader's costume.......

I quite liked Laura Reagan myself. I seem to remember the actress changing
her name at one point which always confused me.

Yep, Laura was definitely the babe of Grange Hill. Shame she was
a bit daft though... imagine falling for that guy with the
tragic haircut a la Howard Jones.....WHAT a sadcase!

She, rather sadly, became one of the "Crown Jewels", the cheerleaders
that follow around the American Football team, the London Monarchs,
made up of NFL rejects.

We had free tickets to a match about 4 or 5 years ago... everyone
in the stadium was shouting "Georgina!" at her... the poor girl...

She was always Fiona Lee Fraser as far as I remember. She later did a
kid's sport programme with some bloke from "Brookside" or something.

Yes, she had an attractive mouth! Her top lip seemd to do all the work.
Fascinating to watch!

Anyway, she did an ad for Lucozade (where she played an auditioning
dancer) and an ad for Magnum iced lollies. Haven't seen her since...

I caught a glimpse of a review show called 'the ticket' on NBC
Superchannel this weekend and there was a very quick flash of an
interview with an actress who looked v much Fiona Lee Fraser (aka
Laura Reagan). Unfortunately I had the sound down and couldn't find
the remote control in time.

Any ideas?

..but I can't remember which one! It's where a load of people are
running round an office or something, and it's shot in a funny blueish
colour.
