Coronation Street viewers are buzzing after spotting actress Jessica Ellis, known for her role as Tegan Lomax in Hollyoaks, in a new role as Brie on the ITV soap. Brie is introduced as a fellow inmate in the mother and baby unit where Lauren Bolton is staying before her trial for the murder of Joel Deering. Fans are eager to see what her presence means for Lauren's case and if her past will have any bearing on her interactions with the young defendant.
Coronation Street fans believe they've uncovered a previous connection between Lauren Bolton and the new character, Brie . As regular viewers of the ITV soap will know, Lauren is approaching her trial for the murder of Joel Deering . Joel was introduced as a charismatic solicitor who quickly won over Dee-Dee Bailey's heart. However, it soon emerged that Joel had a hidden dark side - a predilection for younger, disadvantaged girls, including Lauren.
When his true nature was exposed, he became public enemy number one, with his former fiancee Dee-Dee Bailey and DS Lisa Swain joining forces to take him down. They seemed to be on the path to justice after gathering evidence that Joel had purchased the drugs used to induce Lauren's premature labour with son Frankie, intending for her to miscarry. Joel's absence was then revealed when he failed to appear in court. In scenes aired at the end of September on the ITV soap, a warrant was issued for Joel's arrest as he was seemingly about to face the consequences for his heinous crimes. It was later revealed that Joel was found dead and in November, through a series of flashbacks, it was disclosed that Lauren had delivered the fatal blow. As Lauren's trial looms, she was seen with fellow inmate, Brie, in the mother and baby unit, reports the Manchester Evening News. During Wednesday night's episode (January 15), the pair were seen having a disagreement. As Brie continued to provoke Lauren, the teenager eventually lost her temper and threatened her. Corrie viewers were quick to spot a familiar face in the latest episode, recognizing actress Jessica Ellis, who plays Brie. Fans took to Twitter with their revelations, with @_mariekx posting: 'It's Tegan from Hollyoaks #corrie.' @Sweetwoo posed the question: 'Is it me or was the woman talking too Lauren in #Corrie / #CoronationStreet once was in #Hollyoaks by any chance? ' and @ASuperGav confirming: 'Yayyy! Tegan Lomax. Another one off Hollyoaks #Corrie.' Meanwhile, @LoveSoapsntv declared: 'ITS TEGAN #Corrie.' The curiosity about Brie's character among fans grew as @darrennpassey tweeted: 'Loved seeing @JessicaEllisUK back on my screen, making her debut as Brie. something tells me there is more to her than we see. is she dark? #corrie.' Further intrigue was sparked by @vicnewms, who asked: 'Why is that Brie lass being so mean to Lauren though? Is this gonna lead to something big? #Corrie.'
