Coronation Street confirms return for Nicky Wheatley

Coronation Street has confirmed the return of Nicky Wheatley as part of the Lauren Bolton disappearance storyline.

Kimberly Hart-Simpson will reprise the role after two years away in upcoming scenes, as Daniel Osbourne tries to clear his name amid the murder investigation around Lauren.

Nicky, who used to work as an escort, is now a community outreach worker and Daniel believes she may be able to help get information about Lauren from the girls that she supports in the streets.

The scenes will show that there is still a connection between Nicky and Daniel, and while she wants to help him, the girls that she works with are feeling vulnerable and scared in the wake of news around Lauren.

Will Nicky be able to help them open up and shed light on who may be behind the attack?

“It’s been 4 years since we first met Nicky and it is once again a pleasure to be back on the cobbles,” Kimberly said.

“Stories surrounding women within the sex industry have often been forgotten, shamed or unspoken. But not at Coronation Street, they respectfully explore the world these women live in, the impact it has on the community and at some points dangers attached to the work.

“The story of Lauren Bolton has allowed the safety of other characters to come forward such as Cassie but unfortunately led to the devastating effects of conspiracy theories by other folk.

“Nicky has fought against all stereotypes and I am looking forward to the audience finding out who and where she is today.”

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
