Eileen Derbyshire – Emily Bishop From Coronation Street
Eileen Derbyshire is a renowned English actress, most famous for her portrayal of Emily Bishop in the long-running ITV soap opera “Coronation Street.” From 1961 to 2016, she played the character for 55 years, solidifying her place as the longest-serving female cast member in any British TV soap opera.
After having been on the cobbles for almost six decades, Eileen decided to depart due to personal reasons. Since then, she has kept a low profile. The actress is scarcely observed walking red carpets or attending events, with her only noteworthy appearance being when she made a hasty return to “Coronation Street” in 2019.
