The world of soap is holding its breath as legendary Coronation Street star Tracie Bennett has bravely opened up about a health scare and a recent operation on her eye. The actress, who terrified viewers as the iconic villain Sharon Gaskell, took to social media to share an emotional message with her fans, revealing the truth behind her recent ordeal.
A Brave Reveal from the ‘Spectacular’ Moorfields!
In a heartfelt video shared on Twitter/X, Tracie candidly revealed her recent operation. She thanked fans for their overwhelming concern, bravely addressing the seriousness of her situation. “Thanks for being lovely everyone and for your concern. I’ll be Reet! Bless ya…really kind of you,” she wrote.
In the video, Tracie shared the details of her stay at the world-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital, which she called “just spectacular.” She then added a touch of humor, joking about her “huge” bandage and her wish for a more “showbiz” one, a small dose of lightheartedness in an otherwise serious situation. Her emotional message was a powerful moment of vulnerability from an actress best known for her fierce and uncompromising on-screen persona.
Fans Rally Around Corrie’s ‘Taser-Wielding’ Villain!
The outpouring of support from fans was immediate and immense, with many referencing her most iconic and explosive scenes on Coronation Street. One fan wrote, “Hope you make a speedy recovery. Let them AV IT!” – a direct quote from one of Sharon Gaskell’s most notorious scenes, where she attacked Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) with a taser!
Another fan said, “Tracie, feel better! So very sorry… you’ve got this, champion,” while a third added, “Get well soon!” The flood of messages showed just how much she is loved by the soap community, both for her incredible acting and her legendary character.
Tracie’s Corrie character, Sharon, was the niece of sinister gang leader Harvey Gaskell, and her most recent stint on the show saw her doing his dirty work before she was reported to the police by Rita Tanner. Her on-screen legacy is one of chaos and menace, making her real-life vulnerability even more poignant.
Now, as she makes a full recovery, Tracie is set to take on a new challenge, starring alongside former EastEnders star John Partridge in “The Code” at the Southwark Playhouse Elephant. Her recovery is a testament to her strength, proving that this Corrie legend is more than ready for her next big role!
