Meet Xin [Debut's tonight//Preview video]

[Scarlett.]

Coronation Street's first Chinese resident will reportedly be introduced next month.

A 19-year-old college graduate, Xin, will be presented as a friend of Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) and be seen moving in with the Rovers barmaid and her boyfriend Graeme (Craig Gazey), The Sun reports.

Xin, who works in Chinese restaurant The Royal Panda, will identify various Corrie residents by their takeaway orders, including Roy Cropper - who she tells: "I know you... you're sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and prawn crackers."

However, the paper claims that she will also bring some dark secrets onto the street.

A show source added: "Manchester has a big Chinatown and it's a crime that Corrie bosses have ignored it for so long. They hope Xin becomes a big character and that a whole family can be introduced."

Young asians on Corrie? I am so in.

[flemin]

I've never seen an East Asian on any soap before.

[Scarlett.]

I'd imagine Hollyoaks has had one at some point

[Tom4784]

They had Charlotte recently, they are quite under-represented really though.

[Scarlett.]

It'd be interesting if there was a story with Triads, I'm kinda thinking that is what it means by 'dark characters'

including Roy Cropper - who she tells: "I know you... you're sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and prawn crackers."

I can't see it being anything like that, It would be a bit of a cliche I think. I'm guessing it's just soem dark family history of sort.

Nah she'll be like the girl in Audition, she'll have a suitcase full of people's feet that she's chopped off.

Yeah true, and it wouldn't end up following through like when Corrie last had a gangster

Yeah they've come from Chinatown and arrive in Weatherfield to see Claire fleeing after admitting to assaulting Tracy and the coppers turn up so they help her escape as they dislike the police:joker:.

I like the idea of Xin:).

[Scarlett.]

It finally feels as if Corrie is finally moving into the 21st Century xD
