Emily Atack’s aunt set for Corrie return as on-screen daughter Daisy Midgeley’s exit gets underway amid cast exodus
Emily Atack’s aunt is set for a Coronation Street return as her on-screen daughter Daisy Midgeley’s exit from the soap gets underway.
The character who is known as a real troublemaker will return to the cobbles in early Spring.
Known for their meddling, fans can expect more chaos as they make their way back onto the Cobbles.
Actress Amy Robbins is reprising her role as Christina, Daisy’s mother and filming is set to begin soon.
The pair have a tense and fiery relationship as mother and daughter but Daisy might need her support now that she’s pregnant.
A source told The Mirror: “Christina’s return certainly causes drama and she’s going to be ruffling some feathers throughout her time on the Cobbles.
“It’s a brilliant storyline for Christina and Daisy in what will be some of Charlotte’s final months on screen.
“It’ll be sad to say Daisy leave the show, but we’ve got a few months of Christina causing all kinds of chaos before then.
“The cast are thrilled to welcome Amy back to the show in what will no doubt be a big storyline for the pair.”
Amy, who is the aunt of TV star Emily Atack, first stepped onto the Cobbles back in January 2023 to attend Daisy’s wedding to Daniel Osbourne.
She has also appeared in other big dramas including The Royal, Holby City and Casualty.
Meanwhile in another spoiler, The Sun revealed that Daisy will be rushed to hospital next week in Coronation Street as her exit storyline begins.
The barmaid – who is played by actress Charlotte Jordan in the ITV soap – will be leaving Weatherfield later this year in a major storyline.
The Sun exclusively revealed how Charlotte had quit the soap after four years as Coronation Street faces a crisis of star exits and money problems.
And now with Daisy pregnant with either ex Daniel Osbourne or new boyfriend Kit Green’s baby, things are set to take a turn.
Next week, Daniel tells Daisy he wants her to do a DNA test as he needs to know if she’s carrying his baby or not.
