Former ITV Corrie star Angela Lonsdale makes soap comeback

Angela Lonsdale Ange Emma Taylor Michelle Keegan Curly Watts Gill Channel 4

Former Coronation Street star Angela Lonsdale is back on our screens in a new soap role. The actress, who played Curly Watts' second wife Emma Taylor, has swapped Weatherfield for Chester to play the mum of a teen killer in Hollyoaks.

Emma, 54, played Sergeant Taylor, who met Curly when she arrived to investigate crimes in the area, from 2000 to 2003. They married on Christmas Eve 2000 and Emma gave birth to their son Ben on Boxing Day 2001.

In 2003 the couple put number 7 Coronation Street on the market and moved to Newcastle. But when Curly made a comeback for the 2010 spin-off DVD movie A Knight's Tale, he revealed that his marriage to Emma had since ended.
