The Coronation Street star who bid a fond farewell to the soap just weeks ago will lead a star-studded cast for a stage world premiere in Southampton.
The 2024 National Television Award winning actor Peter Ash, who played Corrie favourite Paul Foreman, will star in Picture You Dead, adapted from the bestselling novel of crime writer Peter James, at Mayflower Theatre.
Peter, also known for Footballer's Wives and War Horse, will be joined by Fiona Wade who, following 11 years in Emmerdale, took to the stage earlier this year in the hit 2:22 A Ghost Story and will soon be seen in the highly anticipated Fox comedy series, Going Dutch.

Picture You Dead, which runs from February 27 to March 1 2025, is the seventh Peter James book adapted for the stage.
Peter James said: "Personally, I think this brand new play, is the best one so far!
"On top of that, I could not be more delighted by the fantastic cast that we have assembled to star in the world premiere production!"
