Coronation Street's Sarah and Lydia's past work together on BBC drama

Rebecca Ryan has recently joined the Coronation Street cast as Lydia Chambers working closely alongside Sarah Platt played by Tina O'Brien.

As Lydia targets her ex Adam Barlow and his wife Sarah, the actresses take centre stage in a dark new plot on the ITV soap.

But it isn't the first time that Rebecca and Tina have worked closely together.

The actresses were also in the cast of BBC series Waterloo Road around the same time in 2010, remaining on the show until 2011.

Rebecca actually joined in series five as Vicki MacDonald, while Tina's character Bex Fisher joined in series six, with Vicki being the best friend of Bex's sister Jess.

While some viewers were quick to notice the Waterloo Rod reunion at the time, recalling the pair's past show together a decade earlier, some fans have only just made the link, and recently took to Twitter to share their surprise at the pair's past roles.

Amy said: "Didn’t Tina and Rebecca co-star in Waterloo Road together? #corrie."

Darren shared a picture of the women together in their Waterloo Road outfits as he said: "Long before Lydia was trying to ruin Adam in #Corrie #WaterlooRoad"

Katrina said: "Oh my god I completely forgot she and Tina worked together"

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITV Hub
