‘Ruthless’ character returns for vindictive revenge plot against Coronation Street legend
Coronation Street star Amy Robbins has spilt the beans on her ‘wicked and cruel’ comeback storyline as Daisy Midgeley’s (Charlotte Jordan) ‘ruthless’ mum Christina.
The character makes a surprise return to the cobbles this week after guest appearances in 2023 and 2024, and it will spell bad news for Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews).
Unbeknown to the Rovers landlady, Daisy has enlisted Christina in a revenge plot against her, after relations between Jenny and Daisy hit an all-time low in recent weeks.
As Jenny begins chatting to a man called ‘Dom’ on a dating app, it will transpire that Daisy and Cristina are behind the account, using it to try and extort Jenny out of her recent cash windfall.
Speaking about Daisy teaming up with her estranged mother, Amy says: ‘For the first time you see Daisy actually, when push comes to shove, relying on her flesh and blood to help her out a bit.
‘Christina runs to her rescue to finally get revenge on Jenny which she’s always wanted to do. They’re finally working together to undo Jenny and that suits Christina down to the ground – that is right up her street.’
Amy explains that Cristina is acting out of ‘pure jealousy’ as Jenny stole her husband Gregory, who was Daisy’s father.
‘I don’t think Christina’s ever got over that. That’s what this whole thing comes down to,’ she says.
‘Daisy is so angry with her and [Christina] has a long-term resentment of her. I think they’re feeling vengeful. They’re happy to see her lose the pub. They’re happy to see her lose everything in that moment, it’s pretty horrid.
‘They’re just wrapping her round their little finger making her fall in love with this man and Christina is sending the messages to her from him. It’s wicked and cruel.’
However, Amy has teased some lighter moments in Daisy and Christina’s revenge plot.
She adds: ‘Some of the things Christina does and says are full panto Wicked Witch of the West, they really are, but she’s kind of funny.
‘She and Daisy share characteristics – this wicked acid tongue and they’re quick-witted, so it’s funny along the way. It is fun.
‘You can’t help but laugh about Christina and Jenny have a scrap in the pub and wrestling pints off each other and calling each other “worm”. It’s like school common room scrapping.’
