Ciaran Griffiths speaks about new Corrie role
Speaking about his new role, Ciaran said: “I’m happy to be back in Manchester to see my family and friends after being away in Australia for the last three years. The city has changed to much!
“And what a better way to tie it in with a stint on the cobbles. I watched Corrie as a kid and it’s great to be back with some old friends both cast and crew.
“I’m loving having the opportunity to work with some quality Northern actors whose work I have long admired, particularly on such a complex character like Damon.”
Corrie Producer Iain MacLeod said: “Having Ciaran on board is so exciting and especially because the character he is playing is so interesting.
“Damon is charming and likeable on the surface but we will soon see he is much more complicated than that as he goes on to have an explosive impact, both in Jacob’s life and beyond.”
