She has appeared in most of them in fact! Denise played Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street and Trish Minniver in Hollyoaks. She also had a guest stint in EastEnders as Alison Slater, as well as playing French teacher Steph Haydock in Waterloo Road.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s now been revealed that she\u2019ll be appearing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/11\/12\/emmerdale-kids-gone-bad-angel-confesses-thinks-evil-lachlan-white-tom-king\/\">Emmerdale<\/a>. Speaking on Loose Women about the role, Denise said: \u201cIt\u2019s a one-off one hour special and it\u2019s the first time Emmerdale have ever done it. And for those of you who are fans of Emmerdale, there is a very powerful year-long story of domestic abuse. Which of course, appealed to me when I knew I\u2019d be part of it because of [Loose Women\u2019s domestic abuse campaign] Facing It Together, and this is a culmination of that story.<\/p><section
