Nathan Sussex makes Coronation Street debut
Earlier this year, Coronation Street executive producer Kate Brooks teased a “massive story” for Tim and Sally, and it all begins in tonight’s episode.
Tim is surprised when he meets his cousin Richie while out on a job, having not seen him for years. It isn’t long before Richie is introduced to Tim’s friends and joins them for a lads’ night together.
Later, Richie opens up to Tim about the difficulties in his marriage, prompting Tim to offer him a place to stay.
Richie is played by Nathan Sussex, who has appeared in a number of well-known TV dramas throughout his career.
His previous credits include It’s A Sin, Casualty, Doctors and Doctor Who. However, many soap fans will know him best from his time in Hollyoaks.
