Susie Amy praises Gary Lucy

Susie Amy has adored working with Gary Lucy again.
The 36-year-old actress has reunited with her former ‘Footballer’s Wives’ on-screen husband in ‘Hollyoaks’ – in which she plays Scarlett, the secret estranged wife of her pal’s character Luke Morgan – and they’re having a great time being back on camera together.
She said: "It’s really nice to be working with Gary again.
"We were always very close, though I think with me being on ‘Hollyoaks’ now, every day has been a bit of a flashback for him.
"’Footballers Wives’ was my first big job and we were so young then, it’s something that holds very fond memories for me.’ "
But the actress admitted the dynamic between Luke and Scarlett is very different to that of their ‘Footballers Wives’ alter egos, Kyle and Chardonnay.
She said: "It’s a very different dynamic. Luke and Scarlett are not fond of each other, whereas Kyle and Chardonnay were madly in love."
And she insisted though both her characters seem very glamorous, they’re not that similar.
She told Closer magazine: "They honestly haven’t tried to do that.
"The only similarity is that I look like both characters, only one of them is much younger."
Susie’s first episode airs next week and she can’t wait to tune in, especially as she’s gotten "addicted" to the soap since she was cast.
She said: "I’m really excited about my first episode and I will definitely be watching it.
"I know a lot of people don’t like to watch themselves but I’m easy about that.
"I’ve been catching up with the show to make sure I’m up to date with everyone’s storylines and now I’m totally addicted."
