Emmerdale star was ready to quit TV and acting after tragic death of husband
Emmerdale actress Susan Cookson said she had thought about changing her career to become a nurse following the heartbreaking death of her husband.
Susan, 58, who lives in Sheffield with her sons Ruari, 27, and Dan, 21, said: “I was at a bit of a crossroads in my life through one thing and another and I decided that I wanted a more regular job. “And I said: ‘No, I don’t need to, the answer is yes!’ And then she added: ‘Oh, and by the way, she’s a nurse…’”
“I also like to think that my husband is watching over me and taking care of me and the boys and that he had a hand in it.” “I’d started looking online for something to help boost my confidence, because that had really taken a hit – I was always so used to having Malc at my side and if I doubted anything, he was always great at bigging me up.
Best known for playing Maggie Coldwell in Casualty from 2005-2009, Susan has now been playing devoted mum Wendy in Emmerdale for four years.
