Coronation Street legend, 73, set to be 'ruthless killer' as she makes huge soap return

ok.co.uk:

Sherrie Hewson is reportedly set to make soap history as the oldest serial killer as she joins the cast of Hollyoaks nearly 20 years after her departure from Coronation Street.

The 73 year old actress is best known for her role as Maureen Holdsworth, Bill Webster's ex-wife, in the popular ITV soap during the 90s, with a brief return in 2006.

Corrie fans will remember Maureen's dramatic exit following Bill's affair with local icon Audrey Roberts. Sherrie also had a stint on Emmerdale between 2004 and 2006, playing Lesley Meredith, but has now switched over to Hollyoaks where she's expected to stir up some serious drama.
