Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis will be swapping the village for the cobbles as she joins the cast of Coronation Street this summer. The 30-year-old actress, best known for playing Sinead O’Connor in the Channel 4 soap, has been cast as Courtney Vance in the long-running ITV show for a heated affair storyline.
She will play the glamorous wife of Darren, who will be portrayed by fellow newcomer Ryan Early, who previously starred as Helen Archer’s love interest Lee Bryce in the BBC radio drama The Archers. Temperatures will rise in Weatherfield when Darren spends time working as one of Dev Alahan’s business associates while Courtney begins to pursue a fling with Dev’s son Aadi Alahan.
The complicated situation will see Aadi soon caught up in a web of deceit as Courtney orchestrates reasons for the pair to meet up behind Dev and Darren’s backs.
