EMMERDALE star Christine Cox has stepped into the breach at short notice to play Enid and Lavender in the English stage premiere of Kate Atkinson's Abandon-ment at York Theatre Royal.
Best known for her soap role as Eric Pollard's other woman, Glynis, Christine had just finished playing Annie Parker in When We Are Married at the theatre when she was asked to replace original cast member Joan Campion, who left for personal reasons last week.
Artistic director Damian Cruden said: "Learning a role in such a short space of time would be daunting for any actor, but I was sure that Christine could pull it off!"
Abandonment runs until April 26. For tickets, phone 01904 623568.
