Siobhan Finneran on how Happy Valley co-star helped “save her career”
Siobhan Finneran has starred as Catherine Cawood’s sister Clare since 2014 but she worked with George Costigan 36 years ago!
George Costigan has played Nevison Gallagher since the first series of Happy Valley too, and Siobhan told The Guardian how George’s wife “saved her career” many years ago.
After the release of Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Siobhan still didn’t have her Equity card, from the union for actors.
