Sally Ann Matthews

Sally Ann Matthews (born 19 September 1970 in Oldham, Lancashire, England), is a British actress known for roles in British soap operas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale. She played Jenny Bradley in Coronation Street, the daughter of the villainous Alan Bradley, a role she played from 1986 to 1992, making a brief return the following year. In 2005 she joined the cast of Emmerdale as farmer's wife Sandra Briggs, but left less than a year later. In a recent interview with Inside Soap, the show's executive producer, Kathleen Beedles, admitted casting Matthews, well-known to soap fans from Coronation Street, in what would essentially become a minor role was a mistake. She also confirmed she would like Matthews to return to the show in some capacity in the future.
