Well-loved actress Sarah Lancashire is adored by fans for many impressive roles, including Catherine Cawood in the BBC drama Happy Valley. You can read everything you need to know about Happy Valley here. But TV fans of a certain age will remember Sarah's iconic soap role which catapulted her to national fame back in the 1990s - Coronation Street's Raquel Wolstenhulme.
While Sarah is currently delighting fans as tough, no-nonsense and slightly broken Catherine in Happy Valley her early alter ego Raquel, on ITV soap Coronation Street, could not be more different.
Sarah played Raquel from 1991 to 2000, primarily from 1991 to 1996 and returned in 2000 for just one, very memorable New Year's Eve episode where she reunited with on-off-love-of-her-life, Curly Watts. Rovers barmaid Raquel was introduced as the daughter of a strict Catholic father and heavy-drinking mother, estranged from her father after partaking in semi-nude modeling.
