I'd definitely be up for 'EastEnders.' Just the same as I would if 'Coronation Street' was offered. Either way, it would be like going back to my roots.
I initially went into 'Coronation Street' for three months. If they had said back then, 'Do you want to do it for six years?' I probably would have said, 'I don't think so.'
Being in 'Coronation Street' is only going to make me a better actor.
I think life without Coronation Street would be unthinkable. It's part of all our lives.
Your street, rich street or poor
Used to always be sure, on your street
There's a place in your heart you know from the start
Can't be complete outside of the street
Keep moving on through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you got to look back
To the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain?
Or the view of your street from your window pane?
It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going to be in Coronation Street. Everything about the role is brilliant and I'm working with some great people.
Coronation Street' in my opinion is based on strong, feisty women and downtrodden men - that's what the show has always been about.
I've always been a fan of 'Coronation Street,' and the chance to work on it was just too good to miss, but it meant a great upheaval for my family.
If I was a star, it would be difficult to go off and do 'Coronation Street.' So I guess I'm not a star.
I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.
It would be good to see what the Queen gets up to at Buckingham Palace. I bet she spends her whole time watching 'Coronation Street.'
Acting was something I always really wanted to do and, when I left school and was old enough to get an agent, 'Coronation Street' was, like, the thing to get into.
I grew up on a street that's similar to the ones you used to see in Coronation Street on TV. We had an outside toilet at the bottom of the yard and I had to share a bedroom until my older sisters left home.
I couldn't resist the idea of doing 'Coronation Street.'
I'd been a Bond girl and in Dracula films and 'Coronation Street,' but I was always hunting for work. After 'The New Avengers,' I never had to wait for work again.
I liked 'Z Cars' - just hearing the music got me going! 'Coronation Street' was massive in our house. My mum used to say Ena Sharples reminded her of Gran, which she wouldn't have been happy to hear!
