Melissa suffield axed why

Melissa is 17 and wants to go out, have fun and do what she likes. But that kind of behaviour doesn't work when you're on a show like EastEnders. They continued: "She was given a warning a couple of months back after she was photographed going into a London club. So when things didn't improve they had no choice but to write her out of the show.

But Lucy Beale and Ben Mitchell won't be the only soap characters to have overnight transformations: there are plenty of other disconcerting recasts to enjoy. Here's a few to get you started — but which others left you staring at the TV in bewilderment?

The teenage Albert Square residents - played by Melissa Suffield and Charlie Jones - have not been written out of the BBC One soap permanently, but are going to be replaced by actors with ''higher levels'' of experience.

A show insider said: ''Sometimes a higher level of experience is needed as characters mature. His character Ben.. The pair, currently portrayed by year-old Charlie Jones and year-old Melissa Suffield , will remain as regular fixtures of the Walford soap with new faces playing the parts.

Ben, whose departure from the BBC serial was announced last month, is still expected to bow out temporarily as his current storyline involving stepsister Louise Brittany Papple reaches its climax. However, he will subsequently make a comeback played by another actor. Producers had also previously confirmed that Suffield is to make her final appearance as Lucy later this year. A new actress will now more. EastEnders producers have axed Lucy Beale actress Melissa Suffield after she allegedly ignored numerous warnings from bosses about her "unruly behaviour".

According to the Daily Star Sunday, the year-old - who has played Ian Beale's eldest daughter since - was issued with a final warning after attending a London nightclub while underage. Despite being reprimanded, Suffield allegedly continued to ignore warnings about her continued misbehaviour, which resulted in a string of meetings and ultimately culminated in her dismissal from the role. A source at the soap told the newspaper: "Melissa has been hauled before bosses on a number of occasions for her behaviour and attitude outside work.

In the end they made the decision to let her go. EastEnders star Melissa Suffield has revealed that she would like Lucy Beale to get even nastier in the months ahead.

Asked whether she would want Lucy to take on Cindy's traits, Suffield replied: "I would absolutely love that! I think Lucy is a different type of bad to Cindy, though, as she's got the potential to be more malicious and scheming.

The year-old explained that she enjoys playing Lucy in the soap but sometimes gets "funny looks" when she is in public. I've still got the same friends I've had since I was little so I have been able to stay pretty grounded. It was claimed she was let go due to attendance issues, with her spokesperson later telling The Mirror: "Stephanie's contract was terminated following warnings for lateness, attendance and after a final incident in which she turned up to set unfit to work because of alcohol consumption.

She didn't see things quite that way though and later told Zoo magazine: "It was ultimately my choice to leave! In , Chris was sacked from his role as Tommy Duckworth after he posted videos of himself rapping online. Chris was axed from Coronation Street after The Sun exposed him as a masked rapper who had boasted of raping a woman in a sickening YouTube video under the guise of his alter-ego The Phantom.

He later apologised, saying: "I would like to sincerely apologise for any offence I have caused. However, she was eventually given the chop due to "unruly behaviour" off set, and she was replaced by Hetti Bywater. Bruce was fired from ITV's most loved soap after it was alleged that he got drunk with reporters and spilled the beans on a string of closely under wraps storylines. Melissa added: 'It all breaks my heart a bit really, especially since River is too young to understand hopefully too young to really notice and he loves his dad so much.

Signing off her post with a positive message, the actress said she was counting down the days until their reunion. Melissa sweetly penned: 'The last year has been so tough at times, but we've made some excellent memories.

And now it's time to count down the days until he's home, so we can make some more. Just to go!
