Two new young female characters are heading to the cobbles this Spring – and they’ll shake up Coronation Street promises soap boss Kate Oakes.
Trainee hairdresser Emma Brooker will start an apprenticeship at Audrey’s hair salon.
She’s played by young actress Alexandra Mardell, who graduated from Guildford School of Acting in 2015.
Since then, she’s guest starred in the ITV crime drama, Vera, opposite Brenda Blethyn.
