[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 410565, member: 673"] I think personal issues rather than career choices were Margi’s undoing originally. When she returned to [I]Corrie[/I] in the late 00’s, she spoke about being let go from her first stint on the show. She said she was drinking heavily after the death of her mother and after being fired, work dried up. The only reason they took her back in 2008 was because a producer had spoken up for her to say she was in a better place. The plan originally had been to recast the role of Jackie. Even then, they made her audition again when they agreed to see her. These days, looking at her Twitter feed, she posts a lot of anti immigrant stuff which probably wouldn’t make her too attractive to casting directors. To be honest, and I know she’s not alone in this on [I]Corrie[/I], I thought her performance as Jackie was quite OTT and only got worse during her second stint. Whereas as Pete’s mother on [I]Family Affairs[/I], her character had layers and wasn’t just the “shouty Scouser” that she seemed to have been typecast as from the 90’s onwards. A few more roles like the one on [I]Family Affairs[/I] and she could’ve had a busier career I reckon. [/QUOTE]
