ITV Coronation Street: Real life of Phill Whittaker star Jamie Kenna - Hollywood, where you've seen him before and almost Corrie casting

Coronation Street actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson took on the role of Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap opera. After a short break, she's returning to the cobbles and is injecting a new lease of life into her character. During her first stint on the show was when she met widower Daniel, before having to leave four months later to start a new life with her daughter.

Coronation Street will air heartbreaking scenes with Faye Windass after fans had concerns over her health. The 20-year-old character recently thought she was expecting boyfriend Craig Tinker's baby and after a miscarriage scare she was devastated to find out she had never been pregnant.

Nicky Wheatley has watched her fresh start crumble around her as her sex worker past comes back to haunt her in Coronation Street. The character, played by Kimberly Hart-Simpson, returned to Weatherfield this year as she applied for a job as a teaching assistant at Weatherfield High.

Coronation Street fans were left thinking the worst when it became clear George Shuttleworth was hiding something from Eileen Grimshaw. The funeral director, played by actor Tony Maudsley in the ITV soap, has been refusing to stay over at his girlfriend's house or let her pay him a visit at his.

Coronation Street viewers have recently seen Nicky Wheatly arrive back in Weatherfield and last week her past came back to haunt her. The character, played by Kimberly Hart-Simpson, first appeared in the ITV soap in June 2020 when she met recently widowed Daniel Osbourne.

Coronation Street fans have been full of praise for Daniel Brocklebank and Harriet Bibby after the pair shared emotional scenes during Monday night's episode.

He holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest-running TV soap star but does Coronation Street legend William Roache plan to retire any time soon? We wouldn't put any bets on it.

Coronation Street is renowned for its long-standing characters - from Ken Barlow to Rita Tanner. But over the past year, some fresh-faced stars have taken to the cobbles in some of the ITV soap's most hard-hitting storylines to date.

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has reportedly been given a warning to clean up his antics by his soap bosses. It comes after he was said to be involved in a drunken brawl last week. The I'm A Celeb star, who plays one of the soap's longest-serving characters Steve McDonald, was allegedly called in by bosses to discuss his behaviour at a Toby Carvery, which is being investigated by Merseyside Police.

Billy Mayhew has been Weatherfield's very own vicar for eight years now and has seen his fair share of drama on the cobbles - particularly when it comes to matters of the heart.

This week viewers will wave goodbye to Emma Brooker as she leaves the cobbles. How she leaves, however, is still a bit of a mystery but what we do know is that the door will be left open for a return.

Coronation Street star Ellie Leach has been showing off a fresh new look while her on-screen character faces a worrying time. Fans of the ITV soap will best know the actress for playing Faye Windass.

It would be hard to imagine Weatherfield without Fiz Stape - or Fiz Brown as she was when she arrived on the cobbles 21 years ago. She made her first appearance in the soap as a feisty teen fostered by Roy and Hayley Cropper after being neglected by her mother, Cilla Brown.

Viewers are used to seeing him wind up his step-dad David Platt in Coronation Street but the actor behind Max Turner couldn't be more different to his on-screen character.

Coronation Street fans were left delighted when Tony Maudsley shared some exciting news on his soap future with them. The actor joined the ITV soap back in 2020 as George Shuttleworth.

Coronation Street star Tanisha Gorey isn't one for posting on social media too often but she quickly drew in the compliments with her latest post on Instagram.

Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell revealed she had taken a lasting 'reminder' of her character Emma Brooker from the set upon her exit. The 28-year-old has played the bubbly barmaid for four years but announced she was leaving the soap earlier this year. “I actually pinched quite a few bits – but I was allowed to pinch them,” she told OK! magazine.

Coronation Street's Phill Whittaker looks set to be the reason Fiz Stape leaves Weatherfield after 21 years as the pair make a fresh start. Fiz made her first appearance in the ITV soap as a feisty teen fostered by Roy and Hayley Cropper back in 2001 and has been a part of life on the cobbles ever since despite Bury actress Jennie McAlpine, who plays her, only initially signed to appear for five episodes before being made a permanent character.

Colson Smith has hinted at taking on 'new opportunities' as things get interesting for his Coronation Street character. The actor is best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap who has had a complicated start to the year after he had to quit his beloved job as a PC after helping cover up his girlfriend Faye Windass and her pal Emma Brooker's secret.
