IDENTITY THEFT ON THE COBBLES: JODIE’S SINISTER SCHEME TO ERASE SHONA’S WORLD FOREVER! 🕵️♀️🎭🔥
Coronation Street schemer Jodie Ramsey ramps up her twisted attempts to take over her sister’s life this summer.
As Jodie gets a second chance with the Platt family despite her recent games, she sets out to steal everything that Shona holds dear.
Jodie is still harbouring a nasty grudge as she feels that Shona abandoned her when they were younger.
This unresolved resentment resurfaces as Jodie grows closer to Shona’s husband David – but she doesn’t just want her sibling’s man, she wants the whole family set-up.
“Jodie is on that trajectory, but David and Shona are a really strong and united couple. They adore each other and they’ve been through a lot.”
“We’ve obviously got David and Shona’s baby daughter Harper still in hospital,” Brooks continued. “Ultimately, Harper will come home and the stresses of family life will start to really take their toll.
“We’ll explore whether Jodie is able to exploit those weaknesses within that relationship. It’s whether she’s able to tempt David over to the dark side. She wants to punish Shona for leaving her, so she’s certainly going to try and come between them.
“But as I say, David and Shona are a pretty solid couple. It’s whether they can unite and see Jodie for who she is – and what she is – in time!”
On a brighter note, Jodie has a surprising new friendship on the way as she strikes up an unexpected bond with Daniel Osbourne.
Corrie explores Daniel’s fragile mental health in the coming weeks, as he struggles to move on from the shocking revelations surrounding his ex-girlfriend Megan Walsh. Could Jodie’s influence be a help or a hindrance to Daniel at this tough time?
“Jodie’s story will dovetail off into Daniel’s story,” Brooks confirmed. “An unlikely little friendship will be formed, which I don’t think many people will see coming, but it’s a really different insight into what makes them both tick.
“For the first time, Daniel’s able to be truthful about how he feels. Similarly, Jodie’s able to be quite truthful with Daniel, because he’s in quite a dark place. There are some interesting dynamics between them.” Shona and Jodie’s Coronation Street sisters twist had fans talking – but are Julia Goulding and Olivia Frances Brown related off screen?
Coronation Street viewers were left doing a double take last week when it was confirmed that Jodie is actually Shona’s sister – with the pair even caught up in the very same Corriedale car crash. Small world, eh?
Long before the show made it official, plenty of fans were already convinced there had to be a family link. After all, the resemblance between Shona and Jodie is hard to miss. But, are the actresses who play them related in real life too?
Jodie and Shona are sisters in Coronation Street
Jodie first arrived on our screens during the Corrie/Emmerdale crossover, when she was discovered tied up in the back of a van driven by Emmerdale’s Graham Foster. Yes, ‘dead’ Graham Foster.
After managing to break free, Jodie fled through the woods before eventually making it to hospital. There, fate stepped in once again, as she crossed paths with Shona, who had also been caught up in the crash and was in labour at the time.
Noticing the coincidence straight away, Jodie soon reintroduced herself and acknowledged the strange turn of events that had brought the sisters together once more.
With nowhere else to go, Jodie has since ended up staying at the Platts’ house. David realised she was having a panic attack and quickly worked out that she was homeless. Keen to stop Shona’s sister sleeping rough, he invited Jodie to stay – planning to explain everything to Shona later.
Upcoming scenes will see Shona questioning the bruises on Jodie’s wrists. Jodie admits she was in an abusive relationship – but viewers will be left wondering whether she’s being completely honest about her past.
Are Jodie and Shona actresses related in off-screen?
On screen, the casting of Coronation Street newcomer Olivia Frances Brown alongside long-standing favourite Julia Goulding has certainly raised eyebrows.
The pair look strikingly similar, and fans have been buzzing online, desperate to know whether the resemblance runs deeper than clever casting.
But despite appearances, there’s no off-screen family connection here. Olivia Frances Brown and Julia Goulding are not related in real life. It’s simply a case of spot-on casting by the Corrie team.
So there you have it. Sisters in Weatherfield, strangers off set – though we’re not the only ones who were completely fooled.
