“Gemma has been on a rollercoaster ride!”
It’s the first time you’ve won an Inside Soap Award – you must be chuffed!
It’s wonderful, and it feels great. Everybody in the category is really talented, so there was stiff competition from all the soaps. Thank you to everybody who voted – I’m glad you’re enjoying Gemma on screen, and hopefully I can stick around for some more laughs!
Gemma’s had a jam-packed year, but it hasn’t all been about the laughs, has it?
She’s been on quite a roller-coaster ride! It was nice to see the flip side as Gemma looked after Rita, rather than the other way round. I was really happy with how the Rita story played out, and the fans were very caring about it, which was great.
Which other Coronation Street plots have you enjoyed?
Phelan and Andy has been my favourite. Even though I knew Andy was coming back, it was a shock. I made sure to tell my family to watch those episodes – we have a Whatsapp group, and they were all messaging me saying, “We didn’t expect that!”.
