Corrie's Candice joins Hollyoaks

Remember Candice? She's the Corrie crimper who left Coronation Street to go on tour with Status Quo in what must surely be the best ever soap exit.

Last year it was rumoured that Candice might be returning to Coronation Street. And now actor Nikki Sanderson who played Candice Stowe in Coronation Street has joined Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

Nikki will join Hollyoaks as Maxine Minniver – sister to wannabe glamour model Ann ‘Mitzee’ Minniver. Maxine is described as “a confident, lively, impulsive, flirtatious bombshell, with boundless energy and a penchant for living life on the edge - and to the full… a fearless risk-taker, Maxine is street savvy, witty, ambitious and can spot an opportunity a mile-off ”  So, not too different from Candice, then.

Nikki said: “Being a member of the Hollyoaks team has so far been an absolute pleasure and I am excited about what the future holds for my character.  I feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful show and to be working with an amazing team.”

Her first appearance on the soap will come in Monday 5 November’s “first look” edition on E4.

  1. Don't these people make over-the-top but boring and generic statements when they join a show that no one believes? I'd much rather read "as an actor, I'm always in danger of 'resting' so I'm just glad to be in work"!!
