First look at Coronation Street newcomers who will become neighbours from hell

Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) are about to get a huge surprise in Coronation Street – and it’s not going to be a good one. Previously, producer of the show Kate Brooks confirmed two new characters would be arriving in Weatherfield soon. They are called Mick and Lou, and will live behind Gemma, Chesney and their children. Gemma and Chesney’s 2025 got off to a positive start when Chesney was sent compensation money following the death of Les. The cash allowed the couple to pay off their bills, something they thought would never be possible.

In upcoming episodes, Gemma watches Lou give Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) a hard time over the price of a pack of night-time pull ups. As Lou makes eye contact, she realises Gemma is one of the mums from Bessie Street primary.

Is this the start of a new friendship for Gemma and Chesney?. And what connection do they share with Kit Green (Jacob Roberts)?. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
