Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson, who plays Steph Dean in the popular Channel 4 soap, is supporting NSE’s podcasts. She said: “My character in Hollyoaks has epilepsy and playing this part has helped me understand more about the condition and the need for people to talk about their experiences. NSE’s podcasts are a great way of reaching people with epilepsy, helping them connect with others in a similar position and making information available in an appealing format.” |
