A former Emmerdale star has joined Coronation Street for a new storyline that features the Winter/Brown family.
Gillian Jephcott currently plays a social worker called Caitlin. She made her arrival last week, shortly after Joseph (William Flanagan) ended up hospital.
Caitlin interrupted the family’s early Christmas with the news she needed to question Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) over whether she poisoned Joseph on purpose.
A horrified Gemma made her way to Paul (Peter Ash) and Billy’s (Daniel Brocklebank) flat where Caitlin explained she needed to follow a procedure, despite the fact Gemma might be a good parent.

Caitlin then said that while the investigation is going on, Gemma cannot live at home, and mustn’t see her children unsupervised.
While Gemma respects and follows the rules for a few days, her emotions will be tested after Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) receives her prison sentence in upcoming episodes.

At home, Gemma finds some painkillers for Joseph, who says he’s got a headache.
