Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan has urged writers to give her character Daisy Midgley some new friends.
Asked what she’d like to see from Daisy in the coming months, Charlotte said: “I’d like her to focus on the Rovers and focus on becoming a successful, mini, secret landlady.
“Selfishly, I’d get some scenes with more of the Platts. I’d like that. Start throwing Daisy into different social circles on the show.”
She added: “I’ve been asking them to make Daisy and Todd pals for yonks! Me, just desperately trying to get Daisy some friends!”
Upcoming scenes on the ITV soap will see Daisy and Jenny Connor save the Rovers with stolen money from Stephen Reid’s bank account.
However, the two will clash when they have different ideas over how the pub should be run.
Speaking about how the dynamic between the pair will change now they’re equals, Charlotte said: “It’s going to be a power struggle. That relationship hierarchy has always been super clear.
“It’s Queen Jenny and her sidekick Daisy. For Jenny to now start treating Daisy as an equal is going to be really hard I imagine.
“Daisy has to publicly pretend nothing has changed so behind closed doors she will instantly want Jenny to treat her with respect and take her and her ideas seriously… and something tells me it’s not going to go smoothly!”
Charlotte went on to explain that the Rovers is all that Daisy has left since her split from Daniel Osbourne, so she’s throwing all her energy into into it.
“She’s lost her love, her hero, her little family and in turn, her future. So the Rovers failing is not an option.”
