Corrie stars look unrecognisable in epic 90s childhood throwback snap alongside EastEnders actor – can you spot them?
CORONATION Street stars look unrecognisable in an epic 90s throwback snap alongside a former EastEnders actor.
The news that CITV would be shutting down after 40 years has left fans devastated.
Celebs who got their start in the careers have also been left gutted by the news, including Coronation Street‘s Samia Longchambon.
Samia, 41, is best known for her role as Maria Connor in the ITV soap, but one of her first acting roles was on CITV classic, Children’s Ward.
Taking to her Instagram on Sunday, Samia lamented the closure of CITV by sharing an epic throwback snap to the children’s show, and pointed out to her followers that a number of other famous faces were in the snap too.
She wrote: “It’s sad to hear that CITV is closing as a channel.. I’ve got special memories of working on some of its shows.
“This #throwback is from #TheWard 1995 (previously children’s ward) .. how many of you are old enough to remember that?! Can you spot @realjanedanson @officialdannydyer and myself??”
Jane – who plays Leanne Battersby in Coronation Street alongside Samia – replied: “Absolutely heartbreaking. It would such a brilliant platform for us as young actors and produced some amazing shows. Such a shame.”
While Samia can be seen second left on the front room, Jane, 44, is the first child on the left in the second row.
Meanwhile Danny – who played Mick Carter in EastEnders until the beginning of this year – is the first on the left on the back row.
Children’s Ward ran from 1989 until 2000 and other famous faces to appear on the show include Will Mellor, William Ash and Tim Vincent.
CITV will stop broadcasting on September 1 at 9pm to make way for new channel, ITVX Kids.
