Steph Davis to join Coronation Street in affair storyline that will destroy a family

Stephanie Davis will join Coronation Street this summer as part of an explosive affair storyline.

The Hollyoaks star will be joined by Archers' regular Ryan Early who will play her on-screen husband. Steph, best known for playing Sinead O’Connor in the Channel 4 soap, has been cast as Courtney Vance, the glamorous wife of Darren, one of Dev Alahan’s business associates.

Darren is played by Ryan, who stars as Helen Archer’s love interest Lee Bryce in the BBC radio drama. Whilst Dev and Darren Vance spend time talking business, Courtney sets her sights on a toyboy lover in the shape of Dev’s son Aadi Alahan.

Steph said: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Coronation Street, playing the part of Courtney Vance. Growing up I have always watched and loved the show, so to be part of the biggest TV soap in Britain, which is in the hearts and homes of so many people, is an honour.”

Ryan said: “I am so thrilled to be playing Darren Vance on Coronation Street and joining the most iconic Soap. I grew up watching the show with my grandmother so to walk on the cobbles is such an honour.”
