Finding your place in the acting world after leaving an iconic role on a soap isn’t always easy, but Lindsey Coulson has managed it. She played EastEnders’ Carol Jackson on and off for 22 years before starring in her final episode in 2015. After her character dealt with the death of her son, fought cancer and even discovered her daughter was having an affair with her partner, Lindsey, 60, felt she had done all she could on the show. Now she is playing tough police boss Sarah Tanner on Bulletproof.
Although she cut her ties with the soap, she will always have a connection. Lindsey married her on-screen daughter Patsy Palmer’s brother Harry Harris, and the couple have daughter Grace, 19, while Lindsey is also mum to Molly, 27, from a previous marriage.
Here, Lindsey tells us how she selects her roles and why she hasn’t stayed in touch with her EastEnders castmates…
