As many soap fans will already know, it isn’t all that uncommon for soapstars to swap one soap for another.
And now it’s been confirmed that James Atherton is set to do just that.
The actor, who made his name as serial killer Will Savage on Hollyoaks, has lined up a guest role on ITV’s Coronation Street.
According to Digital Spy, he will be playing new character Jamie, an old friend of current Coronation Street regular Luke Britton.
However, as always, there’s a bit more to it than that.
The site explains: “[Jamie] is also an ex-boyfriend of Luke's sister Steph and will be causing problems for both of the siblings when he arrives on the cobbles for an upcoming storyline.”
We wonder what THAT means…
James is set to make his first appearance as Jamie on the ITV soap in just a few weeks time.
