Born on January 2, 1979 in Toronto, Wales, Sarah Anne Jones is a known Welsh actress. She opted to use the name Suranne Jones as her screen name. She hailed from Oldham in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. Her love for acting led her to attend a public drama club known as Oldham Theatre Workshop. A co-star in the TV series Antony Cotton who plays Sean Tully on Coronation Street also attended the club.
In 2000, some weeks after her unsuccessful audition for Geena Gregory, she was contacted by Coronation Street bosses, who offered her a part of a new character. 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, took on his surname, and became Karen McDonald. Described as "a bulldog in hoop earrings" and a "Victoria Beckham wannabe", the role garnered Jones public attention, with episodes involving feuds between her and rival Tracy Barlow receiving millions of viewers; the episode featuring Karen and Steve's (second) wedding, ruined by Tracy Barlow's revelation that her daughter Amy Barlow was Steve's love child, received 16.3 million viewers. In May 2004 it was announced that she was to leave Coronation Street in the end of that year after four years of playing Karen. Jones described working on a soap opera as "exhausting",remarking, "I was living and breathing Karen McDonald". Jones made her last appearance as Karen on Boxing Day 2004.
