Coronation Street’s Tony Maudsley is feeling very lucky to have reunited with some of his old co-stars after 18 years.
Tony currently plays George Shuttleworth in the ITV soap. He runs the funeral parlour on the cobbles and is also in a relationship with Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).
Just up the road from George is the Rovers Return pub. Inside currently lives Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and her stepmum Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews).
As part of Daisy’s exit storyline, her biological mother Christina has returned, who is played by Tony Maudsley’s good friend Amy Robbins.
If that wasn’t enough where soap crossovers are concerned, Amy and Tony are now working alongside another of their pals – Natalie Anderson.
What show did Amy, Tony and Natalie work on?
Amy, Tony and Natalie collaborated on a show called The Royal back in the early 2000s. The series aired on ITV, and followed staff at the St Aidan’s Royal Free Hospital in the seaside town of Elsinby.
Just recently, Tony Maudsley took to social media platform X to share a brilliant picture with Amy and Natalie. In the caption, he references working on the Heartbeat spin-off with them, and how brilliant it is they are now working together again.
Honestly, what are the chances?!
‘”When shall we three meet again?” The last time we were all together was 18 years ago on The Royal. So lovely to now be having a little reunion on the cobbles. #Corrie with Amy Robbins & Natalie Anderson’, he wrote.
Who does Natalie play in Coronation Street?
Natalie has been cast in the ITV soap as Danielle, the partner of Theo (James Cartwright).
It is already causing problems and she’s barely been in Weatherfield five minutes, given Theo is also sleeping with Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) right now!
Speaking about joining the Coronation Street cast, Natalie said: ‘I’m delighted and honoured to be stepping on to the cobbles.
‘Coronation Street is an institution and especially if you’re a northerner like me, it’s part of the fabric of our upbringing.
‘I’m not going to lie, I did have a little tear when I started as I felt an immense sense of pride walking around the sets where so many incredible actors and characters have gone before.
‘It’s also lovely to be working with ITV who I’ve spent so many years with throughout my career, it’s been wonderful to see so many familiar faces. I’m having the loveliest time!’.
