On screen Joanna was a bitchy, alcoholic man-eater. But if you wrote to Fiona Wade, she was a much nicer girl!

 
 

Age: 21

DOB: 20 March 1979

EYES: Brown

TV: Extra in GRANGE HILL (1995); Joanna Day in GRANGE HILL (BBC 1996-1998); Studio audience in THE TIME...THE PLACE (1997); Anya in 24:SEVEN (Granada 2001)

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW... Fiona is actually a singer by trade, and she left Grange Hill to star in the West End musical Miss Saigon. She says singing is her life and hopes to record an album.

  
 
 

POINT OF INTEREST: Fiona says she is nothing like Joanna in real life. Unlike her alcoholic screen persona she doesn't even drink! However, we did hear her sing in Series 21 Ep 4, during the Karaoke night.

WHERE IS SHE NOW? Maybe still in musicals - we've checked out the official Miss Saigon web site but there is no mention of Fiona there.
