My life in Silver street

At 17, Stacey Mills got a major part in a famous TV soap opera
A) I’d played a couple of very minor TV parts, so l went along to the audition for a part in Silver
Street. There I met up with an old friend, Lucy Parvin, who was also auditioning and we were
messing about and couldn’t stop laughing. When they told me to act a scene based on a line
they gave me, which was, ‘I know that’s a lie,’ I was rather taken by surprise, but I did my best.
I knew my old school friend Bob Copperfield had been in the cast for the past five years. I
loved watching him in action and now I started to think: could I really be about to get a part
alongside him? It was too incredible to imagine - so I avoided thinking about it as I didn’t want
to get disappointed.
B) When I heard I’d got the part, I spent the next few days not knowing what to think, going from?
feeling wildly happy to being absolutely terrified! When I got to the film set, the security guard
on the gate asked me who I was. I was sure he wouldn’t believe me when I said, ‘I’m in Silver
Street,' but he didn’t laugh. He just waved me in politely. Immediately I saw famous faces from
the cast: Martin Vicars, Hilary Moss. I was completely in awe of them, but they came over to
say ‘hello’ as i went in. My first ever scene was a huge row in the market square with Mary, my
screen mother. After we had finished filming, everyone on set and the crew clapped. I had got
so completely involved that I didn’t realise they were all watching, and I blushed bright red.
C) In past acting jobs I’d got to know the other actors gradually over the first few days of filming.
But with Silver Street it was different. I felt as though I knew everyone already because I’d
seen them so often on screen - it was very odd - but when I began work I realised that I didn’t
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
know them at all. The actors were often so different from their screen characters, and I had to
undo any image I had of them and start all over again. I felt very shy with most of the cast,
although I made an effort to appear confident and cheerful. Some of them took longer to get to
know than others. Norma Steel, who played Mrs Rocket, warmed to me slowly, but eventually
we got quite close
D) I was given a dressing room of my own, next to Bob’s. So we saw a lot of each other and,
sometimes when we were on set together, we used to get the giggles so badly that we were
called to the production office and told off like naughty children. No doubt we deserved it, but
despite our fooling around we both worked hard and never got a line wrong. I watched the first
ever scene I appeared in at home on TV with Mum and the family. They loved it but i hated
watching myself, and thought my voice was awful. At first Silver Street was only on twice a
week, and we had time for rehearsals. But six months after I arrived the number of episodes
was increased to three so we were too busy to have rehearsals - we just had to learn the
script and go straight to filming.
E) Despite the enormous press interest in Silver Street, there were no star egos there. We were
factors wanting to do a good job, and that’s how we saw ourselves. Impressed by everyone
else’s attitude, I was determined not to let any of them down. I could see that the actors who
coped best were the ones who kept their feet on the ground and went home to their families
rather than going off partying. One really funny guy on the cast was Mark Pointer. Often just
before I was due to film a scene he’d deliberately give me a funny look, and that would set me
off giggling again. It was a really happy time in my life.
