Coronation Street's Stu will learn another secret about his family - as he plans to clear his name.
Stu's happy life on the Cobbles with Yasmeen was rocked earlier this month when his ex-wife arrived on the scene and revealed he had been in prison. Stu was sent down for the murder of a young girl he had an affair with.
However, he has insisted he is innocent and has been trying to desperately get everyone to understand he was wrongly prosecuted. He has been trying to connect with his daughter Bridget, and when he goes to see her again, he learns she has a secret of her own.
Actor Bill Fellows has revealed Stu is taking aback by Bridget's news, and is even more determined to clear his name.
He said: "When Stu goes to visit his daughter Bridget again, there is a beautiful moment when he finds out he is a grandad.
"He didn’t even know he had a granddaughter. He also now wants to fight to clear his name because he does not want his granddaughter to think that he is some kind of monster. Those are the two motivations that are pushing him to clear his name and it is very important to him. He wants his daughter and granddaughter to look at him as a decent man."
Stu has been trying to reconnect with his daughter, but feared the humiliation and rejection.
He added: "Stu has never forgotten about his daughter but actually, his biggest fear was being rejected by her and the humiliation.
"But it’s funny to think that if Yasmeen hadn’t found out where Bridget was, Stu wouldn’t have gone round there, and it was Stu visiting his daughter that kicked the whole thing off. It was the good deed by Yasmeen that turned out to be a horror show for Stu."
Actor Bill previously teased there would be many more twists and turns in the storyline still to come.
He said: "It is a heartbreaking storyline because there is no winner in this and there is a lot more to come, it’s not just a case of Stu fighting to clear his name. There are a lot of twists and turns, and it is very hurtful and heartbreaking for all involved."
