Sally Dynevor: "You've Got Me Mixed Up With My Character"

Sally Dynevor was midway through filming Coronation Street's biggest breast cancer storyline when she found a lump of her own. In this episode, Sally tells Helen about the surreal collision between fiction and reality, the moment a TV researcher became her real-life consultant, and why she played Sally Webster's diagnosis completely differently to how she'd play it now. They talk about the instinct to protect your kids by pretending you're fine, the partners who hold the family together by choosing how to walk through the front door, and why saying yes to a live episode with no hair became the thing that brought her back. Plus: Tamoxibollocks, cold capping, and the son who wanted to skip the queue at Alton Towers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
