Christine Mackie has appeared on Coronation Street in four different roles and now she is set to return in her most recent one as local medic Dr Gaddass.

Devout Corrie fans might remember her first role in 1989 when she played a nurse at the Victoria Hospital in Blackpool.

Bet Lynch had taken her friend Rita Fairclough to the hospital because Rita needed help.

Bet was worried about Rita’s relationship with Alan Bradley and what it had done to her friend’s mind.

But while the sympathetic nurse took some details from the worried Bet, Rita ran away.

In 1992, Christine returned to play the role of Chris Jones, a tutor at the School of Nursing.

Martin Platt who was married to Gail and father to David Platt, attended the college to start his nursing career and she became his tutor.

Eighteen years later in 2010, Christine reappeared in a totally different role as Bella, a dancing instructor.

Hayley Cropper and Anna Windass attended Bella’s Salsa classes where Bella persuaded Hayley to buy a dazzling dress.

However, Roy Cropper wasn’t pleased at the purchase and Bella watched an embarrassing argument between the couple about the dress.

In 2014, Christine joined the Rosamund Street Medical Centre as Dr Susan Gaddas ,a general practitioner.

She has been involved in various storylines, many of them fan favourites since then.

Her first patient was Max Turner who was brought into the clinic by his parents David and Kylie Platt. Max’s behaviour was out of control and his parents needed help.

Dr Gaddas eventually diagnosed Max with ADHD and referred him to a child psychologist.

She went on to treat many Coronation Street residents including Beth Tinker who had hives from an allergic reaction and an upset Steve McDonald who she diagnosed with depression.

She has also helped patients with eating disorders, drug addictions and heart palpitations but most poignant of all was her heart warming treatment of Sinead Tinker.

Sinead was dying of cancer and did not want to die in a hospital so was allowed to stay in her flat with her beloved son Bertie and partner Daniel.

Her mother, Beth Tinker asked Dr Gaddas around to check up on her and the Doctor made sure that Sinead was comfortable.

Before she left she told Sinead that she was deeply loved by everyone on the street and brought her baby son into see her.

It remains to be seen what new storylines Dr Gaddas will be involved in or why she is returning to the cobbles after so long.
