More info Coronation Street's Amy Robbins recently returned to the Cobbles as Christina Boyd and has wasted no time in stirring up a lot of trouble. The actress has played the role of Christina on and off since 2023. It was confirmed earlier this year that Charlotte Jordan, who plays her on-screen daughter Daisy Midgeley, would be leaving the soap after four years. Despite having a turbulent relationship, Daisy reached out to her mother, insisting she needed help. For the first time, the mother and daughter have worked together as a duo, and unfortunately, Daisy's step mum Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) is getting the brunt of it.

Speaking on Lorraine in January, Amy shared a conversation with Ted about being cast as Christina in Corrie. She explained: "When I rang him to tell him I got the part, because we often chatted about it, his advice was 'don't underestimate how you're going to feel standing in the pub, in the Rover's.

"Lots of families have a business that you all go into and it does seem to be the one that we've all [done]. "It's what our parents did, my dad was in variety, it's what we all grew up with. It's what we all knew best. And now it's carrying on to the generation beneath us. A lot of my nephews and most of my nieces. My own daughters are show signs of that kind of thing."
