A former Hollyoaks girl joins the cast of The Dark Knight?

Hollyoaks is a pretty popular soap here in the U.K, so this might interest them. And of course it's to do with Batman, so I should certainly mention this little story found over at This is Nottingham, via AICN. They claim that 26 year old British Actress Sarah Dunn who was Mandy in Hollyoaks for over ten years, has been cast in next summer's blockbuster movie The Dark Knight. No word on the part but my guess would be it's probably a one-word or non speaking role but AICN actually suggest she might make a good Harley Quinn. For those who don't know Harley Quinn is the Joker's female sidekick and something of a strange lover who was once the good psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel before she came under The Joker's spell. Although she might not be as voluptuous for the part as I would have liked (Brittany Murphy anyone?) she wouldn't be the worst looking for the role and at 26 is the perfect age. I doubt she will be Quinn though, at least not in the Harley Quinn variety. She might just be her before she turns evil kind of thing.

I guess we'll see soon enough but her even being in the movie must be taken as rumor at this point, although you have to wonder whether someone would make-up this story. It's hardly one that will sell any papers.
