As she joins the cast of the popular ITV soap in an episode as the daughter of a well-known character, one Corrie star is celebrating their child’s significant new career move.
Coronation Street is becoming a family business for one of its stars as his little sister is set to join the show. The ITV soap’s newest cast member is making her debut on the show in Monday’s (27 October) episode.
Bobby Bradshaw, who plays Jake Windass, is the older brother of Aurora Bradshaw. He announced on his Instagram that his sister was joining Corrie as Susie Price, the daughter of Catherine Tyldesley’s Eva.
The Driscolls, which feature both Susie and her mother, were the Driscolls’ first family, and he posted a picture with the caption “The news is finally out!!! My little sister Aurora, congratulations! She joins her new family, and her first episode airs on October 27th.

Fans will remember Susie as the baby Eva had in 2018. When Eva learned she was pregnant, she struck a deal with Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) to give the child to her and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) after their surrogate had a miscarriage. Toyah faked a birth certificate so that Peter would never know Susie wasn’t born via the surrogate.
Eva and her baby struggled to be separated, but they eventually bonded and have been living apart from Weatherfield ever since. However, Susie and Eva are now coming back.
The mother and daughter are moving into the Rovers Return alongside Eva’s new husband Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker). Ben is the person the pub was sold to, as he bought it as a surprise for his wife. Alongside Ben, his mother Maggie Driscoll, played by Pauline McLynn of EastEnders fame, will also be moving in. Catherine Tyldesley told the Mirror that Maggie is the “mother-in-law from hell”.
“The Driscolls have a lot of twists and turns,” they say. I don’t think I’m far off, she said, “but the mother-in-law from hell sounds like a harsh title.” Ben is firmly stifled by the constant swipes at each other, which places him in the middle. He must make the decision on whose side are you on when things do start to come to a head. He both annoys them both.
These Driscolls are related to Ollie Dirscoll (Raphael Akuwudike), who is dating Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) and is already a part of the show. After his car accident, Dee-Dee is Ollie’s legal representative. She is more than just his girlfriend.
Despite being siblings, their lives are not identical. Gary and Izzy Armstrong’s son, Jake Windass, were both born via surrogacy with the assistance of Tina McIntyre. Jake currently resides with his father and his step-mom, Maria Connor, who are unhappy that Eva has returned.
