Coronation Street fans mistake DS Swain actress for EastEnders star
Taking to Coronation Street’s social media comments section, fans have admitted that they initially thought that former EastEnders star Rita Simons was joining the Corrie cast.
They’ve noted that DS Swain actress Vicky Myers and Rita Simons look rather alike, having to do a double take.
One fan commented: “She’s lovely, a great character. She looks so much like Roxy from EastEnders too.”
