Janet Dibley is joining Coronation Street. I know the actress best for her role as Elaine in the 1980s ITV sitcom The Two of Us where she starred alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst.
Janet has appeared in The Bill, Casualty, Eastenders, Fat Friends, The Chase, Waking the Dead, Gold, and The Gingerbread Girl. She might be best known to soap fans as Lorna Cartwright in EastEnders.
The tabloids are reporting today that Janet will play a headteacher called Melinda, at Bessie Street school, where Brian works.
Mr Curry Sauce told the Daily Star: “This is a coup for producers. Janet was a big favourite on EastEnders. But now she’ll be spicing things up at Corrie.”
See who else is joining, leaving or returning to the show.
