Coronation StreetIn 2008, Rush was cast in soap opera Coronation Street as Anna Windass. She won the part over a number of highly rated actors. Of this Rush said: "I went for the casting a few months ago and then was called back for the screen test. When I got the part I couldn’t believe it, I was thrilled to bits. I watched Corrie all the time growing up and all the family are tuning in now that I’m going to be in it. It’s surreal, because the cast and characters are already part of your life just from watching it."[5] In March 2015, Rush was nominated in the category of "Best Actress" at The British Soap Awards 2015.[6] Rush announced her decision to leave the series in July 2017 and Anna departed in the episode first broadcast on 22 January 2018.
