Corrie's Lauren Wilson: From Manchester to Murder

Remember Coronation Street's Lauren Wilson? She was Rovers Return barmaid Violet Wilson's younger sister who swanned onto the street from a stint abroad in Ayia Napa. She was only on the cobbles for a few months before going off to Spain on holiday with Sean. Sean returned home alone, leaving Lauren there with a fella she'd met.

Anyway, the actress who played Lauren is Lucy Evans and she's starring on stage in Wales soon.

Lucy has joined the cast of the Agatha Christie mystery A Murder is Announced. It's playing at Venue Cyrmu in September and you can find out more and buy tickets here.
