Corrie legend looks ageless as she poses with former co-star and famous daughter
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."

He was even heard asking Bilikis , who also goes by Billykiss, if she would leave Dublin and "move to London" if they were to be together. But fans weren't buying it, and didn't think he was being genuine - in fact they even suggested he had a "game plan". The viewer theory that hit social media was that Dejon was flirting with Bilikis to get to Meg. Taking to X/Twitter one fan said: "Fear Dejon is just gonna lead Billykiss to wind up Meg." While another added: "I think Dejon's game plan is to wind up Meg." This one vented: "I hope Dejon isn't using Billykiss to get to Meg." Before going in the villa, Bilikis was asked who she was interested in, and she said: "Dejon and Conor. I'm here to bombshell so you've got to do what you've got to do." When quizzed on what she looks for in a man, she said: "Someone tall who's good looking but not too good looking and that's confident, assertive, knows what they want and is serious about me." Dejon and Meg are one of the most solid couples in the villa, but Meg has shed a fair few tears over semi-pro footballer Dejon. Love Island villa rocked as two hot new bombshells make surprise entrance This included him making moves on bombshell Malisha, before she was dumped from the show. Meanwhile, Sun revealed earlier today that two brand new bombshells would join the show tonight. A source said: 'The Islanders have been crying out for some bombshells with so many of them currently single. 'It's only really Meg and Dejon who are in any way settled which is bonkers at this stage of the game. 'The villa is a bombshells paradise right now and it's everything to play for.' The other bombshell to enter the villa tonight was gym hunk Ryan Bannister. Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 6 Bilikis is the latest bombshell to enter Love Island

Viewers weren't impressed by Harry's conversation with his villa partner Shakira. 4 Love Island fans were left unimpressed with Harry following a chat with Shakira Credit: ITV 4 He hid key details of the saucy Heart Rate Challenge from his villa partner Credit: ITV 4 Furious fans claimed he "gaslit" Shakira Credit: ITV During the steamy Heart Rate challenge, it turned out fellow Islander Helena's routine got Harry's heart racing more than any other girl. In the saucy challenge Helena made her desire for him clear when she whispered in Harry's ear: "I want to f*** you." He immediately told Tommy to pass it on to the boys afterwards, and Dejon was left open-mouthed. During his go, Harry whispered "do you still want to f*** me?" in Helena's ear. However, when discussing the results with Shakira afterwards, Harry neglected to tell her what had happened. Fans were left unimpressed, as one wrote: "Shakira deserves so much better than Harry, casa amor please save her asap." Another added: "they all gaslight shakira??? how is helena saying it's not deep knowing what her and harry whispered to each other??????" A third wrote: "Harry mugging off shakira." While a fourth remarked: "shakira now we can dump harry you've given him enough chances." Harry and Helena struck up a connection early on, however, the playboy couldn't help but keep his options open and things fizzled out as quickly as they started. Watch the moment Shakira kicks off furious new Love Island feud with Helena - and two bombshells enter the villa Having switched his attention to Shakira, after a snog-filled terrace trip with Yasmin, Helena was reluctant to be friends with him. But her stint in the second villa for the Sleepover, which saw the arrival of four bombshells, made her realise she still had feelings for Harry. It comes as viewers predicted Shakira could couple up with another villa boy. She shared a steamy smooch with Irish rugby player Conor during a challenge called Snog, Marry, Pie. Islanders had to kiss who they fancied the most, propose and marry the Islander they most thought of as marriage material, and pie the Islander who they didn't fancy or had any previous issues with. Since the pair shared a steamy smooch and Conor declared Shakira as the "fittest girl in the villa", fans have predicted their blossoming romance. One person wrote: "Conor and Shakira? I could see that." Another said: "Anyone else think shakira and Conor might couple up at some point or is that a stretch?" While a third wrote: "Hear me out… shakira and Conor," Love Island airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
