Shona is different when she returns to Coronation Street
As she returns to the cobbles for the first time since her life-changing injuries next week, Julia has revealed Shona has gone back to her old style in terms of her appearance.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily and other press during a Zoom Q&A, Julia revealed: “She’s still Shona underneath. The essence of her is still there as is her fashion sense.
“I spoke to make-up and costume and we discussed taking her back to the Shona we first met three and half years ago.
“She’s more grungey and heavier with eye make-up and the Doc Martins are still there. She’s not an Ugg boot wearer, she’s sturdier than that!
“It lets the audience know which Shona they’re receiving.”
She also revealed costume put her in exactly the same jumper and did her hair exactly the same as in one of the first scenes she performed as Shona.
Of her relationship with David, Julia admitted it will be an uphill struggle for them to get back on track.
