White Lines: Angela Griffin on her new Ibiza-set series on Netflix


In 1998, when she was one of the most recognisable young women in Britain, Angela Griffin swapped the cobblestones of Coronation Street for a long walk into the unknown. Because of her youth, her optimism and her “naivety”, she didn’t appreciate at the time just how much of a gamble she was taking. Only now, years later, does she feel she really understands. In the Nineties, especially, Corrie was a gig you quit at your peril. She might have been leaving a dream job for an extended trek into the wilderness.
