Lloyd's past comes back to haunt him when he bumps into an old flame and discovers a grown-up daughter he never knew he had!

A long-dead affair is rekindled and secrets and lies come spilling out as Lloyd, his ex Mandy and their daughter Jenna, struggle to come to terms with the secret Mandy has carried for over 20 years.

Producer Phil Collinson said: "The story allows us to establish two terrific actresses alongside Craig Charles and create an instant 'new' family for Lloyd. Mandy is a warm and big-hearted character who has seen a lot of life and is always ready to dispense common-sense advice and wisdom. Jenna is a clever, educated young woman, whose life will be turned upside down as she struggles to come to accept Lloyd as her real father."

As they settle into a more permanent life in Weatherfield Mandy, played by Pamela Nomvete will find a home cooking at The Rovers and Jenna, played by Krissi Bohn, working at the local hospital. But another secret looks set to rock this fragile new family and change their lives forever.

Pamela has previously appeared in EastEnders and Lewis and Krissi's credits include Law and Order UK.
