Coronation Street airs John Stape's dramatic return episodes later this month as he heads back to Weatherfield for Fiz's murder trial. Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) fears that her future looks bleak as she prepares for her first day in court and even considers pleading guilty to get a more lenient sentence until Chesney (Sam Aston) talks her out of it. As Fiz is led into court for the first day of the trial, we see that John is watching from afar, determined to make sure that his troubled wife isn't sent to jail for his crimes. John's intentions become clearer as he keeps watch on Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) back on the street, and his plan soon plays out as he makes the shock decision to hold her captive for a second time! Rosie is horrified as John (Graeme Hawley) starts telling her the stories behind Colin, Charlotte and Joy's (more...

Coronation Street teenagers Chesney Brown and Katy Armstrong will face a long wait to discover whether their unborn baby is disabled in a forthcoming storyline, a report has claimed. The Weatherfield youngsters, played by Sam Aston and Georgia May Foote, are currently expecting their first child together and will welcome the new arrival at Christmas.

At the end of next week, viewers will see Chesney and Katy head to the hospital for a scan of the baby.

Coronation Street boss Phil Collinson reportedly called an emergency meeting with scriptwriters last month to demand new storylines for 15 characters. The producer is said to have made a list of characters he thinks are "urgently in need of attention" to avoid viewers forgetting about them. Newcomer Stella Price (Michelle Collins), husband Karl (John Michie) and their ­daughter Eva (Catherine Tyldesley) are top of the list. They need a big storyline so that they're "­accepted" by the audience, The People reports. Chesney Battersby-Brown (Sam Aston) and his ­pregnant girlfriend Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote) were also ­highlighted as being in need of attention. Collinson apparently insisted that the pair can't simply disappear until Katy's baby is due around Christmas time. Gail McIntyre (Helen Worth) and son Nick Tilsley (more)...

Coronation Street star Sam Aston has predicted that people will always see him as "little" Chesney Brown. The actor, who joined the soap in 2003, told The People that most of his fans are old women who find him cute.

I get the old ladies, rather than the young ones. It's dead sad. "I could be an old man hobbling round with a walking stick and people would still say, 'Aaah, there's little (more)...

Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote has explained why her teen character Katy Armstrong is so desperate for a baby. Katy told boyfriend Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) that she wanted to start a family with him last month, and will soon have some life-changing news for him as she reveals that she is pregnant. Discussing the reasons behind her alter ego's parenthood ambition, Foote told Take It Easy: "Her mum abandoned her and she's never really had a proper family. Chesney's the same.
