Steve’s life on the Street
Simon has played Steve since 1989. He first arrived with his mum Liz, dad Jim, and twin brother Andy.
During his 30 years living on the cobbles, Steve has been married seven times (to five different women) and is a father of four.
He is currently married to childhood friend Tracy Barlow. They married in 2012 and again in 2018.
His children are Emma Brooker, who he only found out about last year, Amy Barlow, who is his daughter with Tracy, Oliver, who he has with Leanne Battersby, and Ruairi, Steve and Michelle Connor’s son who sadly died moments after his birth in 2017.
