Corrie legend looks ageless as she poses with former co-star and famous daughter
Coronation Street legend Angela Lonsdale hasn't aged a day in over two decades in latest snap with co-star, after first stepping onto the Corrie cobbles in 2000
Coronation Street legend Angela Lonsdale looks identical to when she featured on the cobbles two decades ago as she posed up a storm with her co-star and daughter. Angela Lonsdale is renowned for her portrayal of police officer Emma Watts in the ITV soap when she joined in 2000.
She quickly became a fan favourite, especially after her on-screen marriage to Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy), but sadly left the soap after three years.
Over two decades later, the actor hasn't changed an inch as she shared a snap with fellow Corrie legend Sally Dynever and her daughter Phoebe.
Taking to social media to wish Sally a happy birthday, Angela shared the sweet snap along with the caption: 'Wishing you The Happiest Birthday my beautiful angel @sallydynevor. Thank you for being the Best Friend anyone could wish for! Have the most wonderful time with @dynevortim!'.
Angela sweetly continued: 'Love you with all my heart and soul #birthdaylove #bestfriend #happybirthday #wecomeasone'.
Since departing the Corrie cobbles, Angela has gone on to feature in an array of dramas, starting when she joined The Bill in 2003. She then portrayed DI Eva Moore in the BBC daytime series Doctors from 2006 to 2008, later returning briefly in 2011.
Other roles included Karen Sunderland in Casualty, Grace Lane in Our Girl, and 'Scary' Sue Buchanan in Holby City.
Angela appeared in The Syndicate in 2021 and looked almost unrecognisable as she was caked in fake tan, oversized jewellery and pink lipstick. She played the part of Mrs Levine, an over-the-top dog owner who clearly loved her makeup.
Angela likes to keep fans updated on her life through social media and previously shared one of her reunions with Kevin Kennedy, her on-screen husband.
Taking to Instagram and sharing a smiley photo, Angela said: "Reunited with my corrie hubby @realkevinkennedy Break a leg pet! @rockofagesmusicaluk."
Fans went wild over the reunion as one person said: "Wow .. that brings back memories." While others stated they want them to make a comeback to Weatherfield.
A second fan commented: "I think u should both come back to Corrie ….. take over the rover return….x.", while another added: "This is lovely. I think its such a beautiful thing when you can reunite with friends/people you used to work with. Especially when it's the iconic couple of Curly and Emma on corrie. I hope both Kevin and yourself had a lovely catch-up/reunion it's beautiful to see thank you."

GMB star forced to seek medical attention after terrifying incident at protest
Good Morning Britain reporter Noel Phillips revealed he was left injured while reporting live from Los Angeles Good Morning Britain's own Noel Phillips has opened up about a distressing injury he sustained while covering the chaos live from Los Angeles, leading to his need for medical treatment. ITV's morning show returned on Tuesday (10 June) with co-hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley taking charge of the broadcast. They connected with Noel, GMB's North America correspondent, through a video call as he has been covering the explosive riots in Los Angeles. Susanna queried Noel about his recent experience, stating: "You found yourself in the line of fire yesterday, didn't you? Just before your report at eight o'clock. "We had no idea at the time. We've seen a number of reporters, in fact you reported on one yesterday morning of a photographer who had been hit, what happened to you?" Detailing the harrowing event from Monday (9 June), Noel explained that he was struck by a rubber bullet while on assignment, reports the Manchester Evening News. "Susanna and Richard, just 10 minutes before coming on air yesterday, I was on the floor talking to several protesters. I was on the floor because it was the best place to be, given the fact that the situation around us was so volatile, officers were obviously chasing protestors on the streets," recounted Noel. He further described the moment of impact, saying: "As I was laying on the floor, I felt as though an enormous ton of bricks had fallen on my arm. I realised, within about 20 to 30 seconds, that a rubber bullet had grazed the top layer of my skin and had caused a bit of injury. "My arm was swollen, I went to the doctors, got it checked out, it wasn't broken at all. But, it was swollen, it still is swollen and it's in a bandage at the moment." Detailing his ordeal, Noel described how the chaotic scene underscored the "unpredictable" nature of current events in LA, expressing dismay that the police appear indifferent to whether one is a journalist—they're just intent on clearing the vicinity. For four consecutive days, LA has been embroiled in protests, with tensions escalating between demonstrators and law enforcement. Over the weekend, protestors took to the streets to rail against aggressive immigration policy measures, voicing support for detained immigrants' families who are desperate to secure the release of their relatives. Amidst this turmoil, President Donald Trump has called in the National Guard, flouting the objections of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
