Coronation Street star Jane Danson has been told she 'looks the same' after sharing a sweet throwback photo. The actress is best known to viewers for playing Leanne Battersby in the ITV soap but just like a whole host of ITV stars, Jane started out on one particular TV show.
The Bury-born star played one of Children Ward’s regular characters, Paula, from 1995 to 1997. Children's Ward was the children's drama that became one of the best-loved programmes on CITV - and it was filmed in Greater Manchester. Debuting its first episode in March 1989, the soap opera for kids was shot in Bolton at the Bolton General Hospital, which is now the Royal Bolton Hospital.
And despite being aimed at children and teenagers, Children's Ward didn't shy away from difficult issues with storylines involving cancer, alcoholism, drug addiction, and child abuse.
