Coronation Street star Bill Fellows has recalled a chat he had with his namesake Bill Roache upon joining the long-running soap. The actor made his debut on the ITV soap's famous cobbles as Stu Carpenter in October last year.
Viewers were first introduced to the character when he inadvertently saved the vital piece of evidence which showed that Corey Brent was guilty of the murder of Seb Franklin months earlier in May 2021. The former Navy man was living on the streets at the time and came across the promising footballer's belongings when he dumped them after causing Seb's death.
After some convincing from Nina Lucas, Seb's bereft girlfriend, and Asha Alahan, Stu went to the police and eventually, just as he was about to do a runner with his dad, Corey was shipped off to the police station in the back of a van by Gary Windass. Kelly Neelan, who had been wrongly convicted of Seb's murder, was freed and later came across Stu on the streets.
