" Hollyoaks teenager Sinead O&amp;#039;Connor drops a bombshell on stepmum Diane this week, admitting that she no longer wants her unborn baby. Fearing that she&amp;#039;s not ready for motherhood, Sinead suggests that Diane should adopt the child instead - but is the surprising idea just going to cause more problems for the O&amp;#039;Connors? Stephanie Davis, who plays Sinead, recently caught up with Digital Spy to chat about the baby plot and the aftermath of Esther Bloom&amp;#039;s bullying ordeal.  You must be enjoying being so busy on screen at the moment! &amp;quot;I am - it&amp;#039;s been nice to play something different. Usually Sinead is always just a bitch and she&amp;#039;s just had the bullying storyline, so now it&amp;#039;s nice to get into a story that shows her as a bit more vulnerable again. It&amp;#039;s been really fun and I&amp;#039;m loving work at the moment.&amp;quot; Ruby seemed to be redeemed at the end of the bullying storyline, but that hasn&amp;#039;t really happened with Sinead yet. Do you think there&amp;#039;ll be a turning point for her? &amp;quot;I think Sinead has got to be redeemed to be on the show, otherwise she&amp;#039;d just be hated and nobody would speak to her! &amp;quot;Maybe it hasn&amp;#039;t happened yet because Sinead has just had a lot on her plate with the baby in the past few months, so she feels quite alone. She&amp;#039;s putting a barrier up and she&amp;#039;s not letting anyone in at the moment.&amp;quot; Have you ever been worried that the viewers won&amp;#039;t forgive Sinead for bullying Esther? &amp;quot;Well, when I&amp;#039;ve been watching the show, I&amp;#039;ve thought, &amp;#039;Oh my God, she&amp;#039;s such a bitch!&amp;#039; But I do also think that Sinead is a likeable character and sometimes when you watch her, you can&amp;#039;t help but laugh at some of the things she does.  &amp;quot;I think Sinead will be forgiven - and she can&amp;#039;t really not say sorry for what she&amp;#039;s done, so she will apologise. She might not be forgiven straight away, but in time hopefully people will give her another chance. If Sinead doesn&amp;#039;t get forgiven, she might go down a very dark route.&amp;quot;  There were a handful of Twitter users who confused you with your character during the bullying storyline. Was that difficult to deal with? &amp;quot;I think it just means I&amp;#039;m doing my job right. You get a lot of people who point out that it&amp;#039;s just a TV show, but then you get some people who do think that it&amp;#039;s real. It makes me laugh as it is quite funny. Me, Jazmine Franks and Anna Shaffer are really good friends in real life and we have a giggle about it. It&amp;#039;s all part of the job.&amp;quot; Why does Sinead decide that she doesn&amp;#039;t want the baby this week? &amp;quot;It starts when Sinead is working at Price Slice. Cindy is being a bit unfair on Sinead and putting her through quite a hard time at work. In the end, Sinead ends up falling off a ladder when she&amp;#039;s cleaning the shop windows. She goes to the hospital with Diane, and I think secretly she&amp;#039;s hoping that she&amp;#039;s lost the baby at this point. &amp;quot;Then Sinead finds out that the baby is fine, healthy and it&amp;#039;s a girl. Diane&amp;#039;s happy because she&amp;#039;s always wanted a baby, but Sinead now wants an abortion and doesn&amp;#039;t tell anyone apart from Cindy. She has a heart-to-heart with Cindy where she asks for advice, and then that&amp;#039;s a turning point in Sinead and Cindy&amp;#039;s relationship. &amp;quot;Cindy has been in the same position when she was 16 and pregnant but didn&amp;#039;t want Holly. They have a really deep heart-to-heart and become friends. Cindy sees Sinead as a miniature version of herself, and she gives her a few options to consider. In the end, Sinead speaks to Diane and ends up asking her to adopt the baby.&amp;quot;  What makes Sinead choose adoption as the best way forward? &amp;quot;I think Sinead was very open to going for an abortion, but then she hears from Cindy about how she didn&amp;#039;t want her baby but Holly became a big part of her life. Sinead feels bad, because an abortion would mean getting rid of a life. &amp;quot;If Sinead gives her child to Diane, the baby will always be around but not such a big part of her life. Sinead is young so she&amp;#039;s still thinking about going out partying, university and her career. She&amp;#039;s not ready for motherhood as she&amp;#039;s still a child herself. If Bart had stuck around, she would have gone ahead with keeping the baby, but now she&amp;#039;s having second thoughts.&amp;quot; How does Diane react to Sinead&amp;#039;s offer? &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll have to wait and see! I think Diane will have a lot of questions to ask before she even considers this. If Diane says no, Sinead will have to consider other options.&amp;quot; Where do you want the storyline to go next? &amp;quot;Well, I think this is a good storyline, because I know there&amp;#039;s a lot of people who do get pregnant at a young age. One of my friends was in a similar situation after getting pregnant young. It happens a lot and it&amp;#039;s a touchy subject.  &amp;quot;Character-wise, I think probably I&amp;#039;d want Diane to adopt the baby, because that means I can still film the giving birth scene! That&amp;#039;s the one thing I haven&amp;#039;t done at Hollyoaks yet!&amp;quot; How do you feel about Diane becoming a bigger part of the show? &amp;quot;I think that&amp;#039;s really good - she totally deserves that. Alex Fletcher who plays Diane is so good - she&amp;#039;s such a great actress. We have so much fun when we&amp;#039;re on set together, and we get through the scenes so quickly because she&amp;#039;s such a professional. Alex is like a breath of fresh air, she really is.&amp;quot;  Bart (Jonny Clarke) was Sinead&amp;#039;s main love interest for a long time on the show. Is it strange not having him around now? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so weird. When Jonny left, it didn&amp;#039;t really hit me at first. I spent my whole time at Hollyoaks filming with him, especially with the Jasmine/Jason storyline. Even afterwards, we practically did every scene together.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s weird not having him around, but it&amp;#039;s good because I get to work with different people and I&amp;#039;ve got this storyline, which could go in a lot of different directions.&amp;quot; There are a lot of new male characters joining the show in the next few weeks. Could there be a new love interest for Sinead among them? &amp;quot;Well, I don&amp;#039;t think being pregnant would stop Sinead from going after a fella! I don&amp;#039;t think anything would stop her, pregnant or not! I think she will always have a flirt. It&amp;#039;ll be hard for her, because she is pregnant and she&amp;#039;s got a lot of baggage. But in time, I think there will be a new love interest, yeah.&amp;quot; Who else from the recently-departed cast are you missing? &amp;quot;I miss them all! Claire Cooper was one of my really good friends and we shared a changing room together too, so we always used to have chats at dinnertime. I&amp;#039;m going to miss that. But Claire donated a space in the changing room to me, and she wrote down that it was &amp;#039;from one chav to another&amp;#039;!  &amp;quot;I miss working with Jonny and it&amp;#039;s the same for Scarlett Bowman, Tosin Cole and Dylan Llewellyn - our little group. It was weird when they left, because we were all really good friends on and off set, so we&amp;#039;d hang round together a lot. But I still speak to them all and I know they&amp;#039;re doing really well.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Read the latest &amp;#039;Hollyoaks&amp;#039; spoilers and news Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
