She said: "I think it would have to be Corrie and I would have to be the new landlady. I'd be Gemma's [Winter] auntie, Bernie's sister. I'd be in their family and I'd take over The Rovers." Announcing the news over the summer, she wrote: "Thank you to Daran Little for creating the Taylors and to the BBC for giving me the opportunity to play such a fabulous character.

Lorraine has since shared an update with her fans about life after the soap, as she posted the reality of trying to find new work.

She shared a photo of a makeshift audition room in her loft where she had been recording tapes for other roles. Lorraine wrote: "Self tape setup in the loft, I'm so not technical but I'm proud I've managed to set it up all by myself, with advice on equipment by @_zack_morris. Just finished one and its hard work...I'll get there, it's a struggle watching yourself back & not being highly critical on yourself... just let it go & send it." She then added "#sent," to confirm she took the brave step of sending off her audition.
