Coronation Street legend hasn't aged a day as she poses with former co-star and her actress daughter - 22 years after soap exit
Coronation Street legend Angela Lonsdale looked like she hasn't aged as she posed in a new photo this week with friends. The actress played police woman Emma Watts in the ITV soap between 2000 and 2003 and looked as youthful than ever in the snap 22 years after her exit. In the image which was posted for her fellow Corrie star Sally Dynevor 's birthday, she smiled alongside Sally's daughter Phoebe. Angela wrote in the caption of her post: 'Wishing you The Happiest Birthday my beautiful angel @sallydynevor 'Thank you for being the Best Friend anyone could wish for!

From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Love you with all my heart and soul #birthdaylove #bestfriend #happybirthday #wecomeasone.' It comes after back in 2023 Corrie fans were given a blast from the past as an iconic on-screen couple reunited after two decades. Angela and Kevin Kennedy, who portrayed married couple Emma and Curly Watts in the soap, enjoyed a night out together. The acting pair departed the cobbles in 2003 as their married characters took off to begin a new life in Newcastle. And while they don't appear to be returning to the soap anytime soon, a real-life reunion did take place in March 2023 as the pair got together for some drinks in Manchester. Kevin beamed from ear to ear in the snap as he wrapped both arms around Angela, who shared the pic to her Instagram followers. Angela shared the post to wish her long-time pal Kevin good luck ahead of his performance in musical Rock Of Ages, where he portrayed Dennis Dupree. Donning a cable knit vest for the snap, she was all smiles while getting a hug from her former on-screen husband. She penned: 'Reunited with my corrie hubby Break a leg pet ! #corrieclassics #coronationstreet #corriefam #curlyandemmawatts' While the snap sent fans into meltdown, with presenter Jenny Powell even commenting: 'Wow .. that brings back memories ❤️'. 'Bring back Curly and Emma ❤️', wrote one fan in the comment section, as another added: 'Awh wish u come back to corrie'. Another suggested that the pair make an epic return as landlords, writing: 'I think u should both come back to Corrie ….. take over the rovers return….x'. Police sergeant Emma, portrayed by Angela, began on the soap in 2000 and left in 2003 - after the character was offered a promotion in Newcastle. While Kevin was on the cobbles for longer after arriving in 1983, with the pair sharing one child together, Ben. Angela also reunited with Corrie star Jason Done, who came out to support Kevin in the production too. Sharing a selfie with the actor, she wrote: 'Me and blurry @done_jason can't wait to see ya @realkevinkennedy and all the cast @rockofages'. Since departing the soap two decades ago, Kevin has taken to the screen with roles in Holby City and Mrs. Browns Boys, alongside his on-stage endeavours. While Angela appeared in Hollyoaks across four episodes, alongside appearances in soaps such as Holby City.
