Her first appearance aired in November and she has been a regular cast member since,

The character of Steph has been embroiled in a shocking storyline that saw her discover that she is the daughter of incest, since Ruby was historically @bu:sed by her father as a child.

Struggling with knowing about everything, Steph then sought plastic surgery.

She wanted surgery because all she saw when looking in the mirror was her biological father Anthony, who she had long believed to be her granddad.

Anthony was m::rd3red by Ruby and the d3ath was covered up, with Steph aware of this in the soap.
