Coronation Street is focusing on newcomer paramedic Sienna Milburn in upcoming scenes, with her mother Sadie set to appear after being diagnosed with dementia. Sienna is seen considering different care options for her mum as the storyline unfolds.
Sienna was first paired with paramedic trainee Asha Alahan in 2025 and has made intermittent appearances on the ITV soap ever since. Last week, Asha got ready for her first date with Sienna, who appeared preoccupied by a series of phone calls. The drama escalated when Asha's former partner Nina Lucas accused Sienna of pinching her money.
Where do fans recognise Sienna's actress from?
With Sienna at the centre of the drama, soap watchers have taken to social media to ask where they know the actress from. One person wrote: "Where have I seen that face before?" Another replied: "This is england series," while a third added: "I think the biggest thing she has been in other than Corrie is this is England."
The role of Sienna is played by Charlotte Tyree, who previously played Fay in the 2011 Channel 4 mini-series This Is England '88, created by Shane Meadows. In that programme, her character had a romantic storyline with Shaun, played by Thomas Turgoose, and she appeared alongside Vicky McClure and Stephen Graham.
Beyond This Is England '88 and Coronation Street, Charlotte's credits include ITV's The Long Shadow and Still Open All Hours, as well as Merpeople of Mexborough and End Calling.
