Privacy NoticeBrookside was one of the best-loved soaps on British TV as the Liverpool-based show was a huge hit in the 1980s and 1990s before its ratings slumped and it was axed in 2003. The iconic TV soap tackled ground-breaking storylines including the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss and harrowing domestic abuse that ended in murder. Tiffany Eglin, who was formerly known as Tiffany Chapman, now 45, played Rachel Jordache in Brookside. She’s since ditched the spotlight for a ‘normal’ job away from TV but a recent photo shared on social media by a fellow Brookside star proved Tiffany hasn’t aged at all.

Her character Rachel moved onto the Liverpool-set cul-de-sac with her mother Mandy, played by Sandra Maitland, and older sister Beth, played by award-winning actress Anna Friel. They were fleeing her physically and sexually abusive father Trevor Jordache, played by Bryan Murray, who was about to be released from serving a prison sentence for assaulting Mandy. Then one particular soap storyline gripped the nation in 1993 when Trevor was released from prison and found the family. The abuse started again, physically towards Mandy and sexually towards Rachel, until eventually Beth and her mother hatched a plan to kill him.

He caught them putting painkillers in his drink and started to beat up Beth but Mandy stabbed him and they buried his body under the patio. Tiffany, whose character went on to marry Mike Dixon and have a baby, left the soap in 2003 when the show came to an end. She starred in Emmerdale as Cindy Burton, prior to finding fame in Brookside, she went on to star in Hollyoaks as Meg Booth in 2007, and has also starred in Doctors as Sue Stain. But now the star has popped up again as her fellow soap star Alexandra Fletcher shared a selection of photos on social media to celebrate their Brookside co star Vince Earl’s 80th birthday.
