Scarlett Bowman

Scarlett Bowman (born 10 December 1985) is an English artist and actress best known for her role as Maddie Morrison in the British TV soap opera Hollyoaks.

Early life

Bowman was born in Windsor, Berkshire December 10, 1985. As a young teenager, she used to sprint for Berkshire in the under-16 squad. She has a younger brother, actor Josh Bowman who is currently starring in the ABC series, Revenge. Before acting, Bowman aspired to be a television presenter.

Bowman was good friends with singer Amy Winehouse, who dated her brother Joshua in 2009.

Career

Bowman's first break was her role on the BBC teen soap short, The Cut. She described her character Rosa Willas as "cool" and noted, "She just falls for the wrong boys, which results in these sticky situations with her best friends. She doesn't intend on upsetting anyone intentionally, she just follows her heart and leaves her head behind!"

She is best known for her role as Queen Bee Maddie Morrison on the Channel 4 British soap opera Hollyoaks. Bowman joined the Hollyoaks cast in summer 2011, as part of a group of new sixth-form students, to mixed reactions from the viewers. Bowman has described her character as a "psychopath" and confessed that she loves playing Maddie because it is fun to play a bitch. Bowman has insisted that she is nothing like Maddie in real life, noting that her character is "An absolute nightmare!" and has admitted that she finds it quite offensive when people assume they are alike.

The Cut (UK TV series)

The Cut is a BBC television teen drama, first broadcast in September 2009. The series was developed by Geoffrey Goodwin and Holby City writer, Al Smith in collaboration with KateModern producer Pete Gibbons and Hollyoaks director, Sarah Walker. The Cut is broadcast in 25-minute episodes on BBC Two, with each episode being broadcast in daily five-minute chunks on the website throughout the week before. The BBC describe it as reflecting the way many young people want to consume content which a critic has more cynically interpreted as for those with even the shortest of attention spans.

The first series ran on TV and online from September to December 2009. The second series was broadcast from April through to August 2010, and the third series started only two months later, and ran from October to December 2010. In March 2011, it was officially announced that The Cut had been axed and would not return for a fourth series. However, a team of fans have set up a scriptwriting team on Facebook, under the name Writers of The Cut: Series 4 and Beyond, which works on continuing the series and publicising the scripts.
