Coronation Street stars Sam Aston and Dolly-Rose Campbell have revealed the "struggle" ahead for their characters Chesney Brown and Gemma Winter, as they welcome their baby quadruplets.
Gemma goes into labour on the ITV soap this week while trapped in a cable car, with spoiler pictures revealing the little ones arrive safely.
It was claimed when the storyline was first announced that eight new babies would join the cast, but Sam has since confirmed this is not the case.
Babies on the soap tend to have doubles due to them only being able to film for a certain amount of time.
Speaking on Lorraine on Wednesday, Chesney actor Sam revealed that there's a set of twins and triplets who are filming the baby scenes on the show, despite initial plans for each quad to have a double.
He explained when asked if there were four newbies on set: "Five... there's five. Normally when you have one child on the show like a baby, obviously you have a double.
"So we thought we were gonna have eight, but there's five."
He added: "There's triplets, and twins. The twins are a boy and a girl, and the triplets are two girls and a boy."
Gemma actress Dolly revealed that it wasn't as manic as it might seem with so many babies on set at one time.
She said: "It's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be."
Sam added: "We were really panicking about it, but they just kinda sleep, they feed and they whinge a bit."
On how Chesney and Gemma might cope with their new little family, Sam teased tense scenes to come for the parents.
He said: "I think there's gonna be a struggle at times, but we'll try to keep it light."
Dolly said she couldn't wait to see what storylines came off the back of the new chapter in her character's life too.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
