Samia Longchambon shares incredible Coronation Street throwback picture from 2011 including cast mates Jack Shepherd, Kate Ford and Julie Hesmondhalgh
The actress – who plays Maria Connor in the ITV soap – has recalled one of favourite memories from the cobbles and shared it with her fans
SAMIA Longchambon has shared an epic throwback picture of herself and some of her Coronation Street cast mates from 2011.
Dolled up to the nines in fancy dress, Samia throws a piece sign at the camera as some of the street’s most iconic faces strike a pose alongside her.
Wearing a vest and looking like a serious bad boy, Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, grimaces into the camera while David Neilson (Roy Cropper) and Julie Hesmondhalgh (Hayley Cropper) grin next to him.
Actress Kate Ford, who plays Tracey Barlow, looks almost unrecognisable with a long black wig and a sixties style mini dress.
Behind Samia is Jimmy Harkishin (Dev Alahan), who stands next to Charlie Condou (Marcus Dent) who left the street in 2014.
Michelle Collins – who played Stella Price on the ITV soap until 2013 – looks incredible in a blond wig cropped wig and heavily made up eyes.

Sharing the picture with her Instagram followers, Samia wrote next to the picture: “Major #tb behind the scenes pic from 2011 .. still miss our Hayley!”
In December, it was revealed Samia was going to start scaling back her work to focus on her family life with husband Sylvain and her two children.
The law caught up with Maria over her sham marriage earlier this year after she admitted she only got hitched to Argentine Pablo Duarte as a favour to help him get a visa so he could be with his British boyfriend.
The storyline will see Samia be involved in less shooting than regular actors - but she will still appear in prison scenes.
A source said: “Maria will be handed a 12-month stretch but she’ll be back on the cobbles in the new year because of good behaviour.
"The scene is set to shock fans as they know she didn’t murder Caz but won’t see the sham marriage sentence coming.
“It will be one of the most shocking court storylines in the soap’s history and likened to Deirdre Barlow’s wrongful conviction [for fraud in 1998].
“Usually these plots are arranged to give actors a break but Samia will be seen from time to time in jail and will do some filming.”
Maria, left, has been in prison after Caz soaked her flat in blood and planted stained hairdressing scissors in her bag.
