Sarah Anne Akers

née Jones; born 27 August 1978), known professionally as Suranne Jones, is an English actress and producer. Known for her numerous collaborations with screenwriter Sally Wainwright,[3] she rose to prominence playing Karen McDonald on ITV's Coronation Street between 2000 and 2004. Upon leaving, she furthered her television career in drama series such as Vincent (2005–2006), Strictly Confidential (2006), Harley Street (2008), and Unforgiven
(2009).

Jones starred as Detective Rachel Bailey in the police procedural Scott & Bailey (2011–2016), and garnered further attention with headline roles in Single Father, Five Days (both 2010), A Touch of Cloth (2012–2014), and The Crimson Field (2014). For her portrayal of Gemma Foster—a GP who suffers personal betrayal—in Doctor Foster (2015–2017), Jones received several awards, including the 2016 British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. Subsequent credits include Save Me (2018), Vigil (2021–present), and Gentleman Jack (2019–2022). For the latter, on which she served as executive producer, Jones was again nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress.

On stage, Jones has appeared in productions of A Few Good Men (2005), Blithe Spirit (2009), Top Girls (2011), Beautiful Thing (2013), Orlando (2014), and Frozen (2018). She is married and has one child.

Early life

Jones was born Sarah Anne Jones in

Catholic; her priest suggested to her father she be christened Sarah Anne instead of Suranne, her great-grandmother's name, as Suranne was not "a proper name".[7]

She grew up in a house on Foxdenton Lane,[8] surrounded by two farms and their fields and commented that one of her earliest memories is of "cows looking in the window as we ate our tea". As a child she was talkative, and later recounted that her priest would tell her, "I'm praying you can concentrate just a bit more".[7]

Jones was educated at

BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, which she felt "[wasn't] quite the same as drama school".[11]

Career

Early career

Jones began acting professionally aged 16.[12] Andrew Billen of The Times, acknowledging her professional career beginnings at 16, wrote that "she took to the stage at 8".[13] Jones later said that her first role was at the age of 8, in Wait Until Dark as Gloria.[14]

Upon joining the trade union

Geena Gregory on Coronation Street, although she felt she knew Jennifer James would win the role — which she did — upon seeing her at the auditions.[6]

Coronation Street

In 2000, some weeks after her unsuccessful audition for Geena Gregory, Jones was contacted by Coronation Street bosses, who offered her the part of a new character.[6] Jones took on the role of Karen Phillips (no relation to Mandy), making her first appearance on 21 June. The character, after marrying Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), took on his surname, and became Karen McDonald. Described as "a bulldog in hoop earrings"[9] and a "Victoria Beckham wannabe",[15] the role garnered Jones public attention, with episodes involving feuds between her and rival Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) receiving high viewing ratings.[citation needed] Jones also began modelling for men's magazines such as FHM and Loaded, saying: "I was 21, and within three weeks of me joining Corrie I was in Barbados doing a bikini shoot [...] I was quite impressionable and I'd just say yes to everything because I wanted to keep my job. The press officer is saying: 'Do this and you'll be the new young funky sexy girl.' We were all doing it at that time, but I realised quite quickly that I needed to concentrate on what I was doing".[16]

In May 2004, it was announced that Jones was to leave Coronation Street after four years of playing Karen. She described working on a soap opera as "exhausting", remarking, "I was living and breathing Karen McDonald".[12] She made her last appearance as Karen on Boxing Day 2004. Of her tenure as Karen McDonald on Coronation Street, Jones later remarked: "I just thought, while she's brilliant and I'm enjoying her, I've got to get out".[15]

2005–2010

"You have to believe you can have a life after a soap."

Jones, in an interview with The Observer[17]

Jones stated that upon her departure from Coronation Street, she received numerous offers to appear in

bisexual sex therapist.[20]

On

received pronunciation accent;[22] the programme's tepid critical reception, combined with poor viewer ratings, signalled its end after just one series.[23]

In January 2009, Jones appeared in

Golden Globes".[26] Viner summarised his review of Unforgiven by stating, "Five stars all round, and six for Jones".[26] Jones later stated, "I loved that role. They don't come along that often. It was seen by the broadsheets as well as the tabloids. It gave me a little bit of credibility, I suppose".[15]

Later in the year, in November, she played the role of the

South Bank Show Awards, the last ever ceremony, but lost to David Blandy.[28] When discussing her nomination she said, "You do question 'What am I breaking through?' Am I breaking through the perception of people who just thought I was a screaming banshee in Coronation Street? Is it that I've worked hard and I've got better? Is it that now it's alright to say that I'm alright? I don't know what I was breaking through, but I knew that it was nice to feel included and patted on the back for a lot of hard work".[29] Jones was described by Andrew Billen of The Times as being in a category of "those brave, talented few who earn their wings on a soap and then fly gloriously beyond it".[13] In March 2010 Jones starred in Five Days, a non-connected sequel to the 2007 series of the same name, as the female lead DC Laurie Franklin. Later in the year, she starred as Sarah in Single Father on BBC1, a character who falls in love with a widower, Dave (David Tennant
), who was married to her best friend before her death.

On 18 December 2010, a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" featuring Jones, by the Manchester Show Choir, was released.[citation needed]

2011–2016

In May 2011, Jones played the central character of Idris in the

The Doctor's Wife"; when the 'soul' of the Doctor's TARDIS is extracted from the ship, Idris becomes its new host, allowing the TARDIS to talk with the Doctor through Idris. Jones was cast due to writer Neil Gaiman wanting an actress, in the words of Jones, who is "odd; beautiful but strange-looking, and quite funny" to play the role of Idris.[30] Dan Martin, the reviewer for The Guardian, noted that "Suranne Jones arguably sets the standard by which all guest stars must now be judged here [...] Jones was electrifying throughout".[31] Also in May, Jones played DC Rachel Bailey in ITV's detective series, Scott & Bailey, opposite Lesley Sharp, who plays DC Janet Scott. The series is based upon an original idea by Jones and Sally Lindsay, her former Coronation Street co-star.[32] After strong viewing figures and moderate critical success Scott & Bailey returned for a further four series between 2012 and 2016, with Jones serving as an executive producer on series five.[citation needed
]

In July 2011, Jones starred as Marlene, a career woman living in

Sky1.[35] Jones plays DC Anne Oldman,[36] the "plucky, no-nonsense sidekick" of DCI Jack Cloth (Hannah).[35] In March 2012, Jones began filming The Secret of Crickley Hall, a BBC1 dramatisation of the 2006 best-selling novel by James Herbert. She plays the lead role of Eve Caleigh, a woman who moves to Crickley Hall in an attempt to move on from the loss of her son, only to be haunted by supernatural occurrences. Jones described the series as a "classic haunted house spine-chiller with an emotional family story at its heart."[37] Jones returned to the London stage in 2013 in a 20th-anniversary revival of Jonathan Harvey's play, Beautiful Thing. The play ran between 13 April and 25 May at the Arts Theatre, London, before a short national tour.[38]

In 2013, Jones starred as herself in

period drama.[41] In February 2014, Jones starred in Sarah Ruhl's stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Orlando at the Royal Exchange in Manchester. The play received generally positive reviews from critics, with Jones's performance being described as "superb" by Matt Trueman in The Guardian.[42]

In September 2015, Jones starred as the title character in the

Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Actress,[46] the Royal Television Society Award for Best Actor (female)[47] and the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress at the respective 2016 ceremonies.[48]

2017–present

In September 2017, the second series of Doctor Foster premiered, garnering positive critical reception.[49][50] Jones, originally hesitant to film another series, was persuaded after hearing writer Mike Bartlett's plans for the script.[51] She also served as associate producer for the programme's second series,[51] which was filmed in autumn 2016.[52]

The same month, shooting began for an ensemble cast production of Vanity Fair, based on the 1848 novel of the same name.[53] Airing the following September, Jones played the role of Miss Pinkerton, the haughty former headmistress of protagonist Becky Sharp (Olivia Cooke).[54] In February 2018, Jones starred in the Sky Atlantic drama Save Me, playing the mother of a missing teen. Jones's performance received positive reviews, with Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian writing: "you get the impression that Jones could act grief in her sleep, but she is impressively subtle here".[55]

From February to May 2018, Jones returned to the West End in a revival of

Jason Watkins.[56][57] While the production received mixed reviews, Jones's performance was well received, described as "unflinchingly truthful and spontaneous" by The Independent.[58] Jones missed the last four performances of the show's three-month run due to illness, citing the play's "deeply affecting" subject matter as a contributing factor.[59][60]

Later in May, Jones began filming BBC and HBO co-production Gentleman Jack, written, produced and directed by Sally Wainwright. Jones had signed on in July 2017 to play the lead role of Anne Lister, a lesbian Yorkshire industrialist in the 1830s.[61] Described by The Independent as "a core member of Wainwright's unofficial repertory company",[62] the series marks Jones's fourth collaboration with Wainwright. Premiering in April 2019 in the US and a month later in the UK, James Poniewozik of The New York Times wrote: "Jones's performance is a marvel, exuding vitality, charisma and sexual confidence. But she also brings Anne an empathy, humanity and glimpses of vulnerability that make her more than simply a flawless Regency-era Mary Sue."[63] Jones's performance was also praised by Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe, who wrote: "Jones is a gale force wind on the show, driving it forward with her confidence and cool. She gives us a dynamic woman living out gender fluidity and attraction to women at a time of ignorance and intolerance. Her Anne rejects social convention—and has the money to do it—as she fervently and undauntedly pursues her desires. But then Jones adds in a hidden vulnerability that can be heartbreaking. It's the best, most faceted performance of the year, though few seem to know that."[64] Gentleman Jack returned to BBC One for a second series on 10 April 2022.[65]

In July 2019, Jones received the script for the second series of Save Me, titled Save Me Too,[66] with a 14-week shoot commencing the following month.[67] Save Me Too was released on 1 April 2020, and a third season was expected in 2022.[68][needs update]

On 1 November 2019, a collaborative cover of "Symphony" by Jones and the Half Moon Theatre was released as a part of the BBC Children In Need album Got It Covered. Jones also provided uncredited vocals on the album's cover track "It Must Be Love".[citation needed]

On 5 August 2021, Jones appeared in the title role of "I Am Victoria", the first in a second series of one-off dramas created by BAFTA winner Dominic Savage, focussing on various women's issues, in this case, mental health challenges.[69]

Jones subsequently took the lead role of DCI Amy Silva in the six-episode BBC series Vigil, which aired weekly in the UK from 29 August 2021, and streamed all episodes on 23 December in the US. The submarine thriller with an underlying lesbian love story drew an initial audience of 13.4 million viewers, becoming the BBC's most successful drama in years.[70]

In March 2022, the first project from TeamAkers, the production company formed by Jones and her husband Laurence Akers, was announced as Maryland, a three-part drama set on the Isle of Man.[71]
