Former Brookside star Simon O'Brien is set to join Coronation Street, ITV has confirmed. The actor is best known to soap fans for playing the Channel 4 soap's Damon Grant, and in his new role he is expected to be Sean Tully's next love interest.
Simon started filming at Corrie two months ago, taking on the part of Weatherfield newcomer Frank Bardsley.
Frank will make his first appearance on the cobbles later this month, when he meets Sean at the Rovers Return and starts flirting with him.
