Coronation Street fans were left in disbelief this week as they thought they spotted the return of Daisy Midgeley, more than a year after her dramatic exit from the show. The resemblance between a current character and the beloved barmaid had viewers doing double takes and buzzing with excitement.
Daisy, played by Charlotte Jordan, was a memorable figure in the ITV soap, known for her tumultuous relationships and scheming ways. She first appeared in 2020, reconnecting with her stepmother Jenny Connor, portrayed by Sally Ann Matthews, after a long estrangement. Daisy quickly stirred up trouble, leading to significant rifts, including the breakup of Jenny and her husband Johnny Connor.
Her relationship with Daniel Osbourne, played by Rob Mallard, saw ups and downs, culminating in an engagement in 2022. However, Daisy’s feelings for Ryan Connor, following his acid attack, led to an 𝒶𝒻𝒻𝒶𝒾𝓇 that ultimately shattered her relationship with Daniel. Last year, her exit storyline involved a 𝓈𝒽𝓸𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 fraud scheme against Jenny, during which she made off with £60,000.
Since leaving the cobbles, Charlotte has taken on new roles, including a part in the radio soap The Archers and an upcoming appearance in the BBC’s period 𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶 The Hairdresser Mysteries.
In recent episodes, viewers were taken aback by the striking similarity between Jodie Ramsey, played by Olivia Frances Brown, and Daisy. Jodie has been living with Daniel and his young son, Bertie, but remains unaware of the online harassment she has been sending Daniel’s way.
During a scene aired on May 27, Jodie was seen enjoying a morning stroll with Daniel and Bertie, prompting fans to express their astonishment at the resemblance. One viewer shared a snapshot from the episode, commenting how Jodie seemed to channel Daisy’s essence, leading to speculation about whether Jodie was intentionally trying to emulate Daisy’s style to win Daniel’s affection.
As fans weighed in on social media, comments ranged from admiration for the resemblance to concerns about Jodie’s intentions, with one viewer declaring their loyalty to the original couple, Daisy and Daniel.
In the latest episode, available for streaming on ITVX, Ken Barlow advised Daniel to take a break for some clarity. Daniel’s confession that he hadn’t gone to the Lake District but instead stayed home with Jodie left Ken shocked, raising questions about Jodie’s true nature and what lies ahead for Daniel and Bertie.
With the storyline heating up, will Daniel uncover the truth about Jodie before it’s too late? Fans are eagerly awaiting the next twist in this captivating saga.
