Coronation Street spoilers for next week have revealed two brand new characters joining the cobbles. In upcoming scenes, soap watchers will be introduced to paramedic Sienna Milburn's mother, Sadie, and Tim Metcalfe's cousin Richie, who he hasn't seen in years.
Sadie and Sienna's Storyline
Sienna, who was initially paired with paramedic trainee Asha Alahan in 2025, has appeared sporadically on the ITV soap ever since. In scenes this week, Asha prepares for her first date with Sienna. However, it soon appears Sienna is distracted as she gets phone calls and later in the week things take a dramatic turn when Asha's ex Nina Lucas accuses Sienna of stealing her cash.
In spoilers for next week, Debbie Webster, who has been diagnosed with early onset vascular dementia, offers to help a woman named Sadie who is looking for her daughter, but is taken aback when Sadie snaps at her. Later, Sienna rushes over to her mum on the street but Sadie doesn’t recognise her and lashes out. Sienna rejects Asha's offer of help and gently leads her mum away. Debbie watches, horrified to realise this is a glimpse into her own future. Later in the week, Asha and Sienna discuss her mum's dementia and various care options, looking into nursing homes.
Richie's Arrival
Meanwhile, Tim is surprised to pick up his cousin Richie, who he hasn't seen in years, as a fare in the precinct. With wife Sally away, Tim invites Richie over for drinks with the lads.
