FIND OUT MOREGeorgia was still in her teens when she landed the role of Coronation Street's well-loved character Toyah Battersby - the seemingly only level-headed member of the lairy Battersby family. Toyah was at the centre of several important storylines, entertaining fans of the soap for nearly six years before leaving the street in 2003 to pursue her dreams in London.
Unlike Toyah, Georgia chose to remain in Manchester. Shouldn't she have jumped on a train down south, too? "Oh, no!" she protests. "I love it here. If you smile at someone, they smile back, which is unusual in London. I also like the mix of people we have in Manchester - it is culturally a very interesting place to be. And I love the fact that the city is so vibrantand accessible in terms of the arts."
Living so far away from the capital does not seem to have harmed the 25-year-old actress's career. A prominent role in the comedy TV drama Blackpool and a wonderful performance in Christmas is Miles Away at the Royal Exchange Theatre have kept her in the limelight, and we will be seeing more of her in 2006 as she returns to our screens in a new BBC series.
Georgia lives in an apartment in the city's trendy Castlefield area,which she finds very handy. She explains: "The city is so compact anddiverse that I can walk from Castlefield to the Northern quarter in five minutes and find myself in a completely different world."
Georgia's Manchester is a place full of hidden treasures and the best way to explore it is by walking every bit of it. She recommends a tried and tested route for a great day out.
"I would start my day at Jigsaw Cafe at the Triangle for brunch and then go for a trip on the Manchester Wheel. While in the Exchange Square area, I'd pop into Urbis for an hour to check out an exhibition.
"I would then walk to the Northern quarter to spend the afternoon shopping at Afflecks Palace, my favourite vintage clothes shop Rags to Bitches and the Crafts Centre.
"King Street is also great for shopping and so is Kendals and Selfridges but I like the small boutiques and all the vintage and retro stuff you can find in the Northern quarter."
If you don't fancy shopping all afternoon, Georgia recommends the Museum of Science and Industry in Castlefield, which she says is "great fun for the whole family".
She also recommends a stop at Manchester Town Hall. "It's a spectacular building," she enthuses. "People, especially southerners, often don'texpect to find stunning buildings like this in Manchester - it doesn't fit in with their stereotypical view of Northern cities."
When the lights go down, Mancunians come out to play and Georgiaintroduces us to her playground: "In the evening I'd get a huge group of friends and go to a traditional Italian restaurant called Cocotto on Whitworth Street West. It's got a huge painted ceiling and it is in the nicest possible way stuck in the 70s.
It makes you feel you're on holiday in the Mediterranean for a couple of hours. And they really look after you there. "Then I'd go to the Royal Exchange, which is a fantastic theatre, to watch a play.
"Later on, I'd go to 42nd Street - an indie club on Bootle Street, just off Deansgate. It's very studenty and everyone is there for the music so there's never any trouble there. It's just a really nice atmosphere."
Georgia says she also likes the bars around Castlefield, by the canal, "especially in the summer when you get live music and barbeques."
Manchester is hot all year round and if you follow Georgia's suggestions you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable time here whatever the weather. And if you want to give your memory a little boost, Georgia recommends taking back with you a souvenir that will help you relive the excitement.
"I think people should take back with them a ticket from having been to a great live show in Manchester, whether it is a show at the Apollo or the Royal Exchange. Live art is one of the things we do very well here, andit's a memory you will want to treasure."
