Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) has started receiving flowers from an unknown person in Coronation Street, which has spiralled into a new storyline highlighting the dangers of social media.
‘The storyline is about a young woman on the internet and the dangers that face influencers’, Corrie boss Iain MacLeod recently told us.
‘It’s high profile but in her case, with quite a small-fry online following and it brings her into a certain degree of danger as the wedding approaches.
Mini-Ken Barlow wants a serious and cultured wedding, but Daisy wants everything to be a bit extra. There’s fun to be had there but in the background, a creeping danger arises from her online life’.
The person responsible for sending Daisy the flowers and messages is a man called Justin. While he is a complete stranger, Daisy and Justin previously met in the hospital waiting room, when Daisy was getting the results of her recent breast scan.
As this new video shows, Daisy is feeling fearful about Justin and tells Daniel (Rob Mallard) and Glenda (Jodie Prenger) that she isn’t quite sure if her stalker will get the message and stay away.

At the same time, Daisy works out the person behind the unknown number continuing to call her.
It’s not Justin, no, but her mum – Christina (Amy Robbins).
‘She has literally come up from nowhere and Daisy hasn’t heard from her for a long time, so I don’t know why she thinks she is going to be the centre of the big day!’, Charlotte Jordan recently said, reflecting on the fact Christina arrives after learning Daisy is getting married.
‘Daisy doesn’t want her at the wedding because the relationship isn’t a natural mother/daughter relationship and they don’t have that closeness.’
