George Shuttleworth Welcomes a Familiar Face

Coronation Street viewers were excited to see Amy Robbins back on the cobbles as Christina Boyd this week. Tony Maudsley, who plays George Shuttleworth, shared his enthusiasm on social media, posting snaps with Amy in the Rovers Return and captioning them: “When your mates come back to play!! #Reunited #George #Christina #Corrie #WhatsGoingOnHereThen.”

Christina’s return comes after her previous departure earlier this year, following a convoluted storyline involving her daughter Daisy Midgeley. The two had teamed up to scam Jenny Connor out of a significant sum, only for Daisy to double-cross her mother and abscond with the cash to Bali.
