Louiza Patikas - Coronation Street - ITV
Louiza, who is best known for her portrayal of Helen Archer in long-running radio drama The Archers, will make her debut on the cobbles in July playing Moira, office manager at Weatherfield Medical Centre.
We’ll first see Moira when Liz gets a job as a receptionist at the surgery, but Liz fails to hit it off with her boss, as a forthright and feisty Moira looks set to ruffle more than a few feathers
Louiza, whose other recent credits include ITV’s Unforgotten, said:
"I'm ****-a-hoop to be working on Coronation Street. It's a fantastic show which I've always loved for its superb writing and iconic characters”.
Producer Kate Oates said:
“I'm so excited to welcome Louiza to Corrie. Louiza is no stranger to long-running drama; but as Moira, viewers will get to see another side to her - and enjoy her amazing talent for comedy."
