Now here’s a character who we never thought we’d hear mention of on Corrie again, but when Samantha Failsworth’s name was dropped as an apparent attendee at Jim McDonald’s funeral recently, we just had to take the opportunity to put together a character profile! First appearing on the Street in 1996, Samantha turned many a guy’s head during her two-year tenure on the show. Beneath that confident exterior, though, were some secrets about her past just waiting to be uncovered – including the fact that she was on the run from a marriage that lasted only two days! In this episode of the podcast, we look back on her most memorable moments and share some fascinating trivia about her casting courtesy of some old issues of the official Corrie magazine.
