On this week’s episode of Chicken Soap for the Soul, Elisabeth is joined by the excellent Donnaleigh Bailey, who brought sincerity, spark, and unstoppable energy to her 681-episode run as nurse Michelle Corrigan on Doctors.Donnaleigh currently lights up screens as the delectable, no nonsense PC Jess Heywood on Coronation Street.


Elisabeth and Donnaleigh talk about the joy of teaching drama to kids, how the original Doctors cast helped her prepare her audition for drama school, and the bold letter she sent to casting insisting she simply HAD to play Michelle Corrigan. Donnaleigh also tells the story of the absolute nightmare it was to audition for Coronation Street, feeling tipsy on fake tequila shots, and the genius of the nappuccino.
