Ex-Corrie actress joins Emmerdale

Gaynor Faye, who played Judy Mallett in Coronation Street, is joining the cast of rival soap Emmerdale as Megan Macey, the glam sister of hunky Declan.

Gaynor said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining Emmerdale. The women on Emmerdale are strong and feisty and I can’t wait to play my character who’s fun but extremely driven and will stop at nothing to get her own way.

Here’s to the New Year when I take my first tipple in the Woolpack.”
