Coronation Street will see former Emmerdale star Louise Marwood join the ITV soap cast as part of a dramatic new love triangle storyline.
The actress shot to fame when she portrayed the Home Farm multi-millionaire Chrissie White in the fellow ITV soap until she was killed off in 2018 by her own son Lachlan.
However Louise is now set to move from the Dales to the cobbles in soapland as she arrives in Weatherfield to play Phill Whittaker’s devious ex-wife Camilla on the ITV soap.
A source told The Sun : “Phill’s ex-wife will make herself known on the cobbles in the coming weeks.
“She is set to cause chaos as Fiz and Phill’s wedding gets closer.
“But what does she want? And will Fiz be able to deal with both Camilla and future mother-in-law Mimi misbehaving?”
Louise will reportedly make her debut in the summer over the summer months and feature in a “handful” of episodes of the soap.
Earlier in her career, Louise, enjoyed parts in Hollyoaks: Let Loose, The Royal and Law and Order: UK and then after her Emmerdale exit she was spotted popping up in Casualty.
Speaking about her exit at the time, Louise said: "I am very sad actually, because we have become really close.
"Myself, Ryan Hawley (Robert), Tom Atkinson (Lachlan) and John Bowe (Lawrence) all came into the show at the same time.
“And it feels like Emily Head (Rebecca) has been here all the time too, as we've become so close.
"Obviously we'll stay friends forever, but I'm not going to see them everyday, so that will take a while to sink in.
“It's everybody else in the building too, like the crew. It's amazing team of people – I have never met a team like it in my life and I may never again, so that's incredibly sad.
"I am going back to London now, so who knows what's next? It's that thing of going to auditions. It was the right time to leave, as three years is a good stint to do.
"It's very tempting to stay, but my life is in London, so it was time to go.
“It's a hell of a gamble to take as you never know what is around the corner, but that quite excites me."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
