MARION MCMULLEN FINDS OUT WHY CORONATION STREET STARS ARE SWAPPING THE COBBLES FOR THE STAGE

- MARION MCMULLEN

the others want is to talk to me about David.

What is your strongest memory of landing your Coronation Street roles?

Jack: I was 12 and on a train when I found out. Jane McNaught, the producer at the time, said, "Shall we read it again?" and I said, "Nah, I'm happy with that." Everyone laughed.

Julia: Also on a train. I found out within about three hours of doing the audition. Then I just scrambled over the poor boy next to me on the train to find a space to call my then boyfriend... through the tears.

Samia: I was just thinking, "I've got a job for potentially six months". Obviously not thinking for one second I'd still be there 25 years later.
