I’ve just caught a bit of this just now - the previous Debs and Dixie from Casualty.

Both of these actresses have played a different character previously on Corrie

As we know, Gabrielle Glaister was Debs Brownlow, Natalie Barnes’s sister in 2000 and Jane Hazlegrove was Sue Clayton in 1985

We don’t know Gabrielle’s character’s name this time around as she only appeared in yesterday’s episode and Jane has been playing Bernie Winter, Gemma’s mum, since 2019

The plot line that we know at the moment is that Bernie went to buy Joseph's school uniform from some posh shop and the assistant gave her a bag with another woman’s jacket that had been on order as the assistant thought she was Gabrielle’s character. Gabrielle character went to Bernie’s house to get the jacket back, but also took the school uniform by mistake. Bernie clocked there was a likeness between them and I think she’s got a plan up her sleeves

It was the actresses suggestion to do a doppelgänger storyline as they said that people are always getting them mixed up

Not sure if this has been mentioned on here before but I've just finished watching the BBC drama, The Control Room. Was wracking my brain trying to think where I'd seen the main character in it before, so googled it, and it's the actor who played the original Adam Barlow, Iain de Caestecker.

I was only wondering the other day whether he ever continued with acting after being in Corrie, as he was quite a good actor, compared to some child actors.

I thought there was going to be something happen between then when she first went to him - even though she speaks pretty badly to him. Maybe it’s a gambling addiction or some back story of her having money difficulties? I’ve fallen behind again and I don’t remember her character at all either!
