Coronation Street has a brand new character on its cobbled street as Amy Robbins joins the cast as Christina Boyd, the long-lost mother of Daisy Midgeley, a character set to cause a few sparks in the fictional northern town of Weatherfield.
She burst onto our screens on Monday night on ITV as she reunited with her estranged daughter - much to the disdain of Daisy. But while this is her first trip to the Rover's Return, it isn't her first brush with stardom, nor is it her debut on a soap.
Far from it. The 51-year-old, who hails from Liverpool, is no stranger to a life on stage and screen as it seems talent runs in the family - some members of which are pretty well known. Keen soap fans will recognise Amy from rival shows like Emmerdale, EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Holby City and more.
