“A notorious Coronation Street villain is reportedly making a dramatic return to the cobbles! Amy Robbins, known for playing Daisy Midgeley’s turbulent long-lost mum, Christina Boyd, is set for an explosive comeback after her sudden departure earlier this year. Fans can brace themselves for ‘chaos’ as Christina prepares for a long and potentially devastating stint.”
THE VILLAIN RISES: CHRISTINA BOYD’S SHOCK RETURN
Amy Robbins, 54, who is also aunt to Emily Atack, first made her Corrie debut in early 2023, portraying Daisy’s nightmare mother on-and-off. Christina made a seemingly final exit earlier this year as part of Daisy’s storyline, as Charlotte Jordan, who played Daisy, left the soap to “explore other opportunities.” Despite Daisy’s absence, Christina is believed to be returning, promising an era of renewed trouble.
CHAOS CONFIRMED: A “LONG STINT” OF TROUBLE
A source has revealed to The Sun that Amy is already filming new scenes, confirming Christina’s intentions: “Christina will be back to her usual tricks causing chaos on the cobbles.” The insider added a crucial detail: “And this time she’s back for a long stint. She’s returned to filming recently and she’ll be back on screen later this summer. It’s definitely going to be explosive.”
NEW TARGET? CHRISTINA’S REVENGE ON JENNY
Christina’s previous appearances saw her patching things up with Daisy despite their turbulent relationship. The two women even worked together briefly, during which Daisy’s step-mum Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) bore the brunt of Christina’s antics. Amy Robbins previously hinted at Christina’s desire for revenge on Jenny, stating, “Christina runs to her rescue to finally get revenge on Jenny, which is what she’s always wanted to do.” The last time, Daisy ultimately double-crossed Christina, taking Jenny’s money for herself and leaving Christina penniless. It is now believed that Christina will come “face to face” with Jenny upon her return, likely seeking retribution.
