Jane Hazlegrove, a talented actress, recently shared a lovely throwback photo of her first role on the beloved show, Coronation Street. Her fans were delighted to see her as a young cast member, over thirty years before she appeared as Bernie Winter. It's amazing to see how far she has come since then.
Jane, who is now 56 years old, joined the ITV soap in 2019 as the mother of characters Gemma and Paul. It's been a busy few months for her character on the show, especially after the tragic death of Paul due to motor neurone disease. She has also been involved in some dramatic clashes with Paul's husband, Billy Mayhew, over the funeral arrangements.
Before her time on Coronation Street, Jane spent ten years playing the role of Dixie Dixon on the BBC medical drama, Casualty. She has also appeared in other soap operas such as The Bill and Heartbeat. However, what many fans may not know is that she has also played another character on the show before becoming Bernie Winter.
This makes Jane the only actor in the show's 64-year history to have portrayed two regular characters, and one of only seven actors who have played a regular character and then returned as a different resident of Weatherfield. It's a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to her versatility as an actress.
In her recent Instagram post, Jane shared a photo from her time on Coronation Street in 1985, where she played the character of Sue Clayton. She fondly remembered her time on the show, mentioning that it was her first job and she was able to use her earnings to pay for her driving lessons. Her former co-stars, including Sally Dynevor and Sally Carman-Duttine, congratulated her on her milestone.
Some fans even joked about the possibility of Sue Clayton meeting Bernie Winter on the show, which would surely create some interesting dynamics. Sue Clayton lived at No. 11, which is now occupied by the Grimshaw family, for seven months before the Clayton family was written off.
Jane also reflected on her time on the show in a recent interview, where she mentioned receiving a heartfelt message from Barbara Knox, who plays Rita Tanner on the show. Barbara wrote, "Good luck Jane. Remember, rovers always return." Little did they know that Jane would return to the show as a different character.
After leaving the show, Jane went on to have a successful career and is now better known as Bernie Winter. She has become a fan favorite and continues to impress viewers with her talent and versatility. It's clear that her time on Coronation Street has played a significant role in shaping her career.
