Pole Dance Sonia Pole Dancer Get a life dismay annie

Leila had fun appearing as guest star in this episode of the Bill. As pole dancer and credit card fraudster Sonia she faced grilling from the 'police' cast regulars PCs Polly Page (Lisa Geoghan) and Reg Hollis (Jeff Stewart) as they investigate a disturbance at a local lap-dancing club, Polestar and gather complaints of credit card fraud in the area. She gives them a cheeky tongue lashing "I'm all your's Constable Hollis" and is undaunted as she stands up to PC Page "... And you'd better get a life ... or someone to put a smile on your face. Know what I mean". Sonia is evicted from her flat and is later found badly beaten outside a nearby hotel.
