Acting roles

From 2001–2003 Faraday was a principal cast member of both ITV's Bad Girls and the BBC's Casualty. Faraday's most recent credits include The Bill, ITV's Kingdom and Doctors for the BBC. In Bad Girls, she played prison inmate Snowball Merriman in series 4 and 5; she played a different character, Shell Dockley, in the West End stage musical version at London's Garrick Theatre. This role was played (as a non-musical part) in Series 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the television series by Debra Stephenson. Faraday and Stephenson bear a strong physical resemblance and their characters in Bad Girls were similarly styled. The script for Bad Girls acknowledged this; when the character of Shell returned to the TV series for several episodes in series 5 (after being recaptured after having escaped from prison and spending some time on the run in Europe), Shell offers up a comment on Snowball: "Cheeky slag! Swanning about, nicking my look. Who does she think she is? Me?!"

Faraday won a prestigious TMA Award in October 2006 for best supporting actress in a musical for her portrayal of Shell in the musical's original run at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.She was subsequently nominated for Best supporting Actress in a musical at the West End What's on Stage Theatregoers Choice Awards 2007/8.Other notable West End Theatre credits include An Audience With The Mafia at the Apollo Theatre.
