Soaps have seen a number of real-life family members make starring roles over the years
Sibling rivalry has seen Ryan and Adam Thomas star on Coronation Street and Emmerdale, twins Isabella and William Flanagan appeared on Corrie with sister Amelia playing April Windsor on Emmerdale, whilst Peter Ash played Paul Foreman in Weatherfield and cousin Will Ash landed the role of Caleb Milligan on Emmerdale.
However, they're not the only ones with off-screen familial ties. Fans were recently taken aback by a mother-son duo that had previously appeared on the soap. Beyond her stint on Corrie, Sue played Jackie Corkhill in Brookside from 1992 to 2001 and appeared in five episodes of Emmerdale in 2008 as Bonnie Drinkwater. However, it's her very famous son who also made an appearance on Coronation Street that might surprise fans.
Their mum Angela tried to cover for Katy, but Katy, drowning in guilt, ended her life. Afterwards, Craig wanted to run away to Berlin with Rosie but ended up leaving Weatherfield by himself, saying goodbye to the street in 2006.
