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.
