ALEXANDRA
MARDELL Twenty four year old actress, Alexandra Mardell, plays bubbly hairdresser, Emma Brooker, in Coronation Street. After first stepping foot on the cobbles in early 2018, she has already made a big impression on viewers, recently being nominated as Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards. Before joining the soap, Alexandra also appeared in ITV drama Vera in 2017 and is co-artistic director of Junk Box Theatre Company. In her Twitter bio (asmardell27) she describes herself as a ‘mashed potato connoisseur’! On screen, her character has dated Corrie favourites David Platt and Chesney Brown and even found herself in a bit of a love triangle with Chesney and Gemma! More recently she has ended up at the centre of Corrie’s latest disaster storyline as the factory roof dramatically collapsed.
