Coronation Street re-introduced Eva Price this week — and she didn’t turn up on the Cobbles alone. Viewers got to meet her family too, including her partner Ben, Ben’s son Ollie and mum Maggie, and Eva’s daughter Susie. But did you know one of them has a real-life connection to one of their co-stars? Susie is played by actor Aurora Bradshaw, and if that surname sounds familiar, it’s because her brother Bobby plays another character on the ITV soap, and he’s been there for years.

Bobby has been playing Jake Windass since 2018, when he was just six years old.
Bobby’s Instagram has been posting about his sister joining Corrie since her casting was first announced and shared photos of the family’s watch party when Aurora’s first scenes aired on TV.
“Wait no way your little sister is in Corrie too!” commented one fan. “Congratulations to your sister.”

“Oh cool! Another super talented set of siblings on the Cobbles! Welcome Aurora! She did great,” a second fan wrote, while a third said: “Oh she’s gonna be a star.”
Multiple Corrie stars also commented on the post, including Betsy Swain actor Sydney Martin, who called Aurora a “superstar”.
“Your [sic] going to smash it beautiful girl,” Lauren Bolton actor Cait Fitton, while Maria Connor actor Samia Longchambon commented: “Love this! Both of you on the [TV}.”
Earlier this year, the siblings’ mum Charly celebrated Bobby’s soap anniversary on her own Instagram. “7 years of Jake Windass,” she wrote. “What an amazing achievement from the age of just 6 years old and you have absolutely smashed it.
“We are so proud of you B, every single day! Your [sic] a super star.”

Ben’s other son Will will arrive next week, a few days after the rest of his family, but there will be a drama with him right from the off.
Not only does he do a disappearing act, but he also skives off school with Liam Connor. Is he going to be the soap’s newest teenage tearaway?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
