Sally Dynevor Dreams of Grandmotherhood After Engagement News

star has shared her hope of becoming a grandmother, after her daughter Phoebe announced her engagement last May.

Sally's actress daughter, 31, rose to fame after playing Daphne in the hit period show. 

Nearly a year after Phoebe got engaged to her fiancé, American producer and actor Cameron Fuller, Sally is already hoping for a grandchild. 

Speaking to Prima Magazine, Sally shared: 'I'm hoping I'll be a grandma one day, not just yet, but maybe one day. So I'm sure [the family dynamic]will all change again. But that's life isn't it? Everything's always changing and it's always very exciting.'

Cameron proposed to Phoebe while the family were enjoying a holiday together in the English countryside in May 2025.

Phoebe's sister Hattie revealed she is as she gushed over her future brother-in-law, calling him 'the best'.  

Asked if Phoebe had become a 'bridezilla' yet she told Daily Mail: 'No, she is very chilled so I think she will just enjoy every moment and I am really looking forward to being on that journey with her.'

She also revealed what kind of dress she might go for too, saying: 'I think she will go classic, traditional, yes', but added that she hadn't chosen the frock yet.

Hattie added of the future wedding being small and intimate: 'I think it will be quite close knit as well. I think it will be quite small.'

The star also opened up about where it might take place, saying: 'She is not sure yet, she has not got that far. She has just found the wedding planner. It will be next year though.'

'She got engaged at the Cotswolds, and it was so beautiful,' Hattie previously told at the TV Choice Awards back in February. 'All the family were there. She was crying her eyes out – it was tears of happiness.'

Their mother, the Coronation Street star Sally, shared a photograph at the time.

She said: 'My daughter has just got engaged ... He's gorgeous, he's such a lovely man. I'm so, so happy. I'm thrilled, it's actually made my year.'

Sally insisted she won't be getting involved in the couple's wedding plans and will let them decide what they want for their big day. Discussing the ceremony, she said: 'To be honest, I'll be keeping well out of it.' 

Both of Sally's daughter Phoebe and Hattie, 22, have followed in Sally's acting footsteps, while her son Sam, 29, has a career in PR.

Asked if she was worried about her daughter's becoming actors, Sally added: 'How could I ever say, "Don't do what I did?" If that's in your heart and that's what you want to do, you must try. 

'I'm proud that they're doing what they want to do, and that's the most important thing… I still am on the phone to all of them, probably every other day. Hattie is still at home with us, so it's a different juggling act now than it was before, but I'm sure it's going to be more different in the future.'

Sally, 62, who has played Sally Metcalfe since 1986, has been on the soap for an incredible four decades.

'When you love what you do, why would you want to retire?', Sally shared. 'I come into work every day and I'm surrounded by wonderful young people who are showing me what's going on in the world and the fashions, and they're exciting and interesting. I love young people.'

She added: 'So the idea of just packing it all in and sitting at home and going, "Right, what shall I do today?" Just absolutely not. I don't think I'm ever going to retire. 

'I'll stay here as long as they want me; if they don't want me any more, I'll still try to do something, because the idea of retirement just sounds awful to me!'
