Corrie actresses reunited in Benidorm next week

Amanda Barrie, who played the wonderful Alma, and Sherrie Hewson who played Maureen, are reunited in Benidorm on Friday January 9th.

The pair have remained friends since their days on Coronation Street and Amanda told What’s On TV that she had jumped at the chance to work on Benidorm together.

She said: “I’ve known Sherrie for what seems like 100 years. Of all the people I know in showbiz, Sherrie’s the one I see the most because she often stays at my flat. It’s great to work on a brilliant comedy like Benidorm together. We had one big giggle.

“Joyce and Sue meet in the hairdressers Blow & Go, then Sue goes on to hold a seance for Joyce, Liam and Kenneth in there. The scene kept going wrong though. I couldn’t remember the name Bonnie Tyler in my lines. I kept saying Robbie Fowler instead. We had lots of laughs doing the seance.”
