anniversary of the death of Lisa’s beloved mum, Cath. And, as Lisa told the Mirror, ‘We’ve lost both our mums. And when it comes to things like weddings, you do it for the other people.
Both of us talk about it all the time and feel as long as we’re happy we don’t need rings on our fingers. ’She explains, ‘I’m not the kind of girl who wants a big flouncy day with a horse and carriage,’ – unlike her alter ego Mandy Dingle, who is very much that kind of girl. ‘I’m never going to change my name, so really, what would be different? And I wouldn’t be able to wear a wedding band very much because I’ve always got Mandy’s jewellery on.
’Emmerdale viewers are currently seeing Mandy play detective as she tries to work out exactly why Sandra Flaherty (Joanne Mitchell) has returned to the village and what she’s up to. But there’s another storyline that’s very dear to Lisa’s heart, and that’s Faith (Sally Dexter) dealing with her terminal cancer. Because Lisa’s mum died of breast cancer, it’s a cause that she champions.
‘Emmerdale have been working with the charity I’m an ambassador for, Breast Cancer Now,’ she says. ‘They’re helping with advice for Sally as well. There’s a storyline going on soon, where I think my fellow cast members saw me go a bit insular.
I can’t give much away, but I thought Sally nailed exactly what happens in palliative care, and I’ve seen that for real. ‘We are doing what Faith is going through complete justice. I can’t shout from the rooftop enough how important it is for women to check, so this could end up saving people’s lives.
