A BARNSLEY actress has landed a character role in the top TV soap Coronation Street and will make her debut on screen tomorrow night.
Susan Mitchell, aged 38, will feature as the mum of Tina - girlfriend of Street bad boy David Platt.
She has filmed only one episode so far - but is hoping her character will be back in Corrie soon.
Susan, from Barugh Green, who has been a work
ing actress for about 13 years, has done a lot of theatre work and was in an episode of Emmerdale last year.
She said: "Corrie is one of those programmes that we've all grown up with, everybody knows it, so in that way, this is one of my highest profile and best jobs I've done.
"I enjoyed it. All the cast and crew were absolutely brilliant and made me feel so welcome. You would have thought I'd been there for years.
"It is just one episode for now but hopefully I will be doing more."
Susan trained at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. She has done a number of TV adverts including one for McDonald's, as well as roles in BBC soap Doctors and Crimewatch reconstructions.
She joins fellow Barnsley actress Katherine Kelly - who plays Roy Cropper's cafe sidekick Becky Grainger - in the ITV1 soap.
