The new year brings the start of a new era for Coronation Street’s iconic pub, the Rovers Return – as Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) becomes the new co-owner, alongside former landlady Jenny Bradley (Sally Ann Matthews).

The way they came about the ownership of the pub wasn’t entirely legitimate, as Daisy took the money out of the bank account that Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) had set up to stash the money he stole from Underworld.

Reasoning that Carla (Alison King) didn’t need the money and that Stephen owed Jenny a lot for what he put her through, Daisy managed to calm her conscience.

‘There’s things that Jenny and Daisy have done to buy the Rovers that they are not proud of,’ Charlotte Jordan told Metro.co.uk.

‘While that was super fun to play out, I don’t imagine it’s going to last very long!’ she added, as soap misdeeds are always found out eventually, even if it takes a long time.

‘In the meantime, Daisy is loving it,’ the actress confirmed, explaining that it’s something for her character to focus on after her break-up with Daniel (Rob Mallard).

‘Daisy is throwing all her energy onto the Rovers. It’s all she’s got left. She’s lost her love, her hero, her little family and in turn, her future. So the Rovers failing is not an option. She’s very ready to have something she’s proud of and something she can call her own.’

To ensure that the business is a success, Daisy is full of plans.

‘She will be bursting with ideas to revamp the place,’ Charlotte said.

‘She knows the business model needs updating otherwise it wouldn’t have shut down in the first place. The Rovers is one of Daisy’s main anchors to the show. She loves that pub, which is why she ventured into dodgy territory to save it! She will do everything she can to make it into a thriving business.’

An interesting aspect as far as viewers are concerned is going to be how the relationship between Jenny and Daisy changes as a result of Daisy being co-owner – especially given the shady nature of how that came about.

‘It’s going to be a power struggle,’ Charlotte confirmed.

‘That relationship hierarchy has always been super clear. It’s Queen Jenny and her sidekick Daisy. For Jenny to now start treating Daisy as an equal is going to be really hard I imagine.

‘Daisy has to publicly pretend nothing has changed so behind closed doors she will instantly want Jenny to treat her with respect and take her and her ideas seriously… and something tells me it’s not going to go smoothly!’
