Claire Sweeney has swapped the cobbles for a cruise in Channel 5's latest drama The Good Ship Murder and reveals that her character is nothing like Coronation Street's Cassie
Channel 5’s latest murder mystery drama is about to set sail - and Coronation Street fans can expect a mini soap reunion to take place on board.
“For me, I’m playing a detective for the first time - and the fact that I get to sing as well, it just felt like it was the right time for this to happen,” Shayne says. Meanwhile Claire, who currently stars as Tyrone’s long-lost mother Cassie on Coronation Street, plays Jack’s cabaret boss Beverley - and is well experienced in cruise life.
The Good Ship Murder marks the first time Shayne has worked with Catherine since they played on-off couple Aidan Connor and Eva Price on Corrie - although Shayne promises their new characters are completely different from their Weatherfield alter egos. Although Shayne has left his soap days behind him, it was The Bill he turned to for inspiration when playing Jack. “There are so many great shows to draw upon - I grew up watching Murder, She Wrote with my mum and Starsky and Hutch.
Claire, who was yet to join the Corrie cast at the time, took the opportunity to quiz Shayne and Catherine on their soap stories. “I didn’t have any idea in my wildest dreams that I’d be going into Coronation Street when we filmed this last year. I’m a massive Corrie fan so I was grilling Shayne about Corrie.
