Here we go with a look back at some of the Coronation Street icons from the 1970s. Let's find out what they've been up to since they left the show.

Cheryl Murray who played Suzie Birchall



Cheryl Murray is best known for her role as flighty Suzie Birchall on Coronation Street from 1977 to 1979, with a return stint in 1983.


Since leaving Corrie, she appeared on television in Supernatual, Hi De Hi, Sorry, Some You Win, Zigger Zagger, Our Young Mr Wignell, The Eleventh Hour, Brookside, Midnight at the Starlight, Rich Deceiver, Live at the Liverdrone and Blue Haven.

She also made guest appearances on This Morning, Classic Coronation Street, Wire TV's Soap Show, GMTV and This Is Your Life.

 In 1998 she took the role of vets wife Mrs Parker in Emmerdale but found the strain of work too hard so she was replaced by actress Lottie Ward.

Suzie was a brilliant character. When I started watching Corrie, she and Gail were lodging with Elsie. I think she tried to snog Brian didn't she, when he was with Gail.

We owned a timeshare at the Los Christionas resort in Tenerife named as the Hollywood Mirage and we were on a family holiday way back in the 1990s.Cheryl and her daughter who was only a child then was staying in the apartment next to us as she was doing a film shot. We had made friends with Cheryl during the time that she was there and had a fantastic time in her company and my daughter Christina and Cheryl’s daughter used to play together beside the pool while we all had a great time.Hope they are doing well and often wondered if her daughter became a Lawyer as that was her dream.
