Corrie to cast new character

[Jessie Wallace]

Coronation Street welcomes it's first deaf character who will play Emily's niece Freda, played by Ali Briggs, who's deaf in real life, it's ground breaking stuff done in the true Corrie style.
Deaf character are usually portrayed in a very stereotypical way.
Actress Ali explains "Freda is a fully rounded person. She's fiesty and has a great sense of humour.

Keep on topic please.

I think Freda is a great addition to the cast, and it's a good oppotunity for the writers of Coronation street to explore new material.
