Beverley Callard would "love it" if her daughter Rebecca were to be cast on a rival soap to Coronation Street, the young actress has revealed in a new chat to BANG Showbiz.
Rebecca Callard
Stating that her mother is a big fan of rival dramas such as Emmerdale and EastEnders, she says because of her love for the soaps she'd have no problem if Rebecca worked on them.
"My mum loves 'EastEnders', absolutely loves it. In fact my mum watches 'Emmerdale' and she watches 'EastEnders' and I think she watches 'Holby' [Holby City] as well, religiously. So I think, I mean she absolutely loves it, so I think she'd love it [if I were in 'EastEnders']."
However the actress admitted that despite living in London, she's not good at putting on an east London accent and says Beverley would rather work alongside her on the Manchester-based ITV soap Corrie.
Rebecca explained: "She'd probably like me to be in Corrie because she'd like me to live up north so she could see more of me but my cockney accent isn't particularly great [anyway]."
And though she'd be more than happy to work with her mother, she doesn't think it's possible as she has been on Corrie in the past.
"It would be fun to work with her but I don't think I could go back now because I've been in it ... Unless she [my character] turns up again but I think she ran her course really."
'Ordinary Lies' starring Rebecca is on BBC One on Tuesday March 17 at 9pm.
