Robbins, who now portrays Christina Boyd on Corrie, was a constant on the show. The actor was seen as Dr Jill Weatherill throughout its eight-season run. Anderson, now Corrie’s latest arrival as Danielle Silverton, portrayed nurse Stella Davenport in The Royal from seasons four through seven.

Posting the photo, Maudsley captioned, “When shall we three meet again?” He added that it had been 18 years since they had all been together on The Royal and how wonderful it felt to have “a little reunion on the cobbles” with Robbins and Anderson.

When talking about her character, Anderson said Danielle would be “judgmental from the off.” She described the character as full of complicated attributes that influenced how she presented herself.

She revealed how Danielle instantly has a bad vibe about Sarah Platt. The actor feels something is wrong with Sarah’s relationship with Theo Silverton. “Danielle is a very judgmental character—she’s always sizing people up,” Anderson stated. She added that the depth that comes with playing someone so multifaceted is precisely why she loves the role so much.
