This week on A Night In with Sally Lindsay, Sally is joined by BAFTA award-winning actor and best friend Suranne Jones for a funny, warm and nostalgic chat.

They look back on Suranne’s days playing Karen McDonald on Coronation Street, sharing memories from her first days on set and the co-stars who made the show unique. Sally and Suranne also remember their wild nights out during their Corrie years. Suranne talks about her brave choice to leave after four years, which led to new opportunities and even encouraged Sally to do the same.

They discuss Suranne’s memorable roles in dramas such as Unforgiven, Gentleman Jack, Vigil, and her award-winning work in Doctor Foster, which will soon return for a third series.

Suranne talks about learning to trust her instincts and turning down roles that don’t feel right. She shares which characters have stayed with her and admits she still feels nervous on the first day of filming.

Their close friendship is clear as they share the story of how Suranne met her husband, Laurence, at Sally’s wedding. They also recall the moment when Sally’s husband gave Laurence a friendly warning to look after her!

You can expect warmth, honesty, and humour as Suranne looks back on the choices, friendships, and key moments that have shaped her life.
