Stephanie Parker - who was born on March 29th, 1987, in Brighton, East Sussex, England - was an English-born Welsh actress. She was best-known for playing the part of Stacey Weaver in the long-running BBC Wales television series, Belonging - a programme which revolved around the trials and tribulations of the Lewis family and the changing environment of modern Wales in their town of Bryncoed. Parker also starred as Zoe in Doc Martin, Phoebe Mitchell in Casualty, and Debbie Hargrove in Doctors, as well as appearing in dramas on BBC Radio 4. The final episode of Belonging - in which Parker had played a central part since the age of 15 - was broadcast on Thursday, April 16th, 2009. The following Saturday, April 18th, at 6 a.m., a passer-by found Parker's dead body on open ground near Pontypridd, south Wales. The death was ruled a suicide by hanging. She was described by her agent, Mark Jermin, as, "...a great talent..."; and by Clare Hudson, BBC Wales's head of English-language programmes, as, "...an immensely-talented actor...". Stephanie Parker was just 22 years old.
