Coronation Street is set to get a brand new guest star in the coming weeks, as actress Nicole Barber-Lane has announced she\u2019ll be making her Corrie<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n

Announcing the news on her Instagram<\/a>, Barber-Lane shared an image of herself posing on the iconic street and wrote: \u201cSo if you guessed @coronationstreet you were right!<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a pleasure to do a little cameo\u2026..look out for Ange in last week in September\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Hollyoaks<\/a> fans will recognise Barber-Lane for her iconic role as Myra McQueen from 2006 to 2019.<\/p>\n

But now the actress will be taking to the cobbles of Corrie as Ange, the boss of a cab firm who wants to use Webster\u2019s Autocentre and make the most of the garage, according to Digital Spy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before working in her on-and-off 13-year-long role in Hollyoaks, Barber-Lane appeared in Emmerdale<\/a> and, more recently, has starred in BBC One\u2019s The Gallows Pole<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n

She left Hollyoaks in 2019 when her character Myra\u2019s wedding to trans character Sally St Claire (Annie Wallace) didn\u2019t go as planned. The pair drifted further apart after disagreements and decided to end things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Prior to Sally\u2019s transition, the pair had a child, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), who has recently been at the centre of a long-spanning storyline involving a homophobic attack.<\/p>\n

But Barber-Lane\u2019s Myra was at the centre of many a pivotal Hollyoaks storyline, including faking her own death after being shot in 2013. Will she bring the same level of drama to Corrie? We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

Although details of Barber-Lane\u2019s character in Coronation Street remain sparse as of now, we\u2019re sure her arrival will send waves through Weatherfield \u2013 especially for the long-running and beloved Webster\u2019s Autos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
