North Shore's Joanne Froggatt once played a major role in popular British soap

Joanne Froggatt, known for her roles in Downton Abbey and Liar, is currently starring in ITV's Saturday night drama North Shore.

Originally an Australian mystery crime thriller television series, it's now being aired in the UK. The plot revolves around British and Australian detective teams who are forced to work together to investigate the murder of the British trade minister's daughter, navigating a complex investigation and cultural differences.

Despite Froggatt's regular appearances on our screens, many seem to forget that she began her career in a popular British TV show. Soap fans might remember her as Zoe Tattersall in Coronation Street from 1997 to 1998.

Prior to this, she even had a role in an episode of The Bill in 1996.

Clips of classic Coronation Street occasionally resurface on TikTok, reminding viewers of Froggatt's early days in the soap. Fans admitted they hadn't seen these clips "for years", but they certainly jogged their memory.

People on Reddit have also been discussing the successful careers of former Coronation Street stars. One user commented: "Rob James-Collier and Joanne Froggat are both Corrie alumni who later starred in Downton Abbey. JF also starred in the Dark Angel mini series and other highly regarded programmes."

Another added: "Just watching the 2017/2020 ITV drama, 'Liar' and it has both Joanne Froggatt and Katherine Kelly in it. Both wonderful in their roles."

In recent years, Froggatt has taken on roles in Angela Black, Sherwood and Breathtaking. She even appeared as Anthony's girlfriend, Saskia, in the 2010 Christmas special of The Royle Family.

Now aged 44, Froggatt celebrated the arrival of her first child last year. She
