Long running Coronation Street resident Chesney Brown is set to become a dad again, with new girlfriend Gemma Winter pregnant with QUADRUPLETS
Seems legit.
The bizarre storyline will air later this year after Chesney gets Gemma pregnant following a sustained campaign of passion, with Gemma’s landlady Rita Sullivan eventually kicking them out because of it.
Chesney, played by Sam Aston, has been on the show since he was a child and already has a son, Joseph, with his ex-girlfriend Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote). Katy was killed off in a car crash in 2017, leaving Chesney to raise Joseph as a single dad – but the arrival of four new babies is sure to test his parenting to the limits.
