Brian Packham will get to meet his Italian cousin in new scenes of Coronation Street.

The ITV soap continues airing a storyline exploring Brian's Italian heritage. In earlier episodes, the character played by Peter Gunn took a DNA test, discovering he is 8% Italian.

And while this percentage may seem low to act on it, as Brian's friends didn't fail to point out, it changed The Kabin owner's outlook on life and family, prompting him to find his relatives in Southern Europe.

New scenes of Corrie will introduce Isabella, Brian's Italian cousin, as she comes to Weatherfield to spend time with him.

Played by Flaminia Cinque, Isabella messed with Brian's plans, who initially intended to go to Italy to get to know her. When Isabella told him her Naples flat was being renovated and decided to come to the UK instead, Brian felt disappointed but still stoked at the prospect of finding a family connection.

Speaking of connections, Packham recently seemed delighted at the possibility of a romance between Brian and Mary, portrayed by Patti Clare.

"I'd love it! They are both quite surreal and off-the-wall and work together very well. They could be a very strong pairing, and I love working with Patti," he told Inside Soap.

"Characters like Brian and Mary provide light relief alongside the hard-hitting storylines; not to say that's frivolous or meaningless, but it gives the balance of light and shade that Corrie does so well."

It was a certainty after Emmerdale had Faye.

I don't watch EE but I'm sure they will come up with a similar storyline if they haven't already.

Coronation Street confirms exit drama for Brian Packham's cousin Isabella
Coronation Street's Brian Packham is about to see the back of his difficult cousin Isabella, as their conflict comes to a dramatic conclusion.
In upcoming scenes, Brian remains determined to get rid of his Italian relative, as she has disrupted his life and insulted his close friends George Shuttleworth and Mary Taylor.
As time progresses, this only gets worse as Mary and Isabella continue to clash with each other.
As a result, Brian calls Isabella?s builders in Naples to try and speed up the process of getting her to return home.
Unfortunately, Isabella overhears Brian?s conversation and realises that he is trying to get rid of her.
Upset with her cousin?s behaviour, Isabella talks to Brian about the situation and he finally admits that he would like her to leave, as she?s made his life difficult.
Isabella breaks down into tears and pleads with Brian and says he?s her only friend. But how will he respond?
Later in the week, Brian and Mary stand firm as they wave Isabella off at the airport after an eventful few weeks. Will this be the last they see of her? Or will she return?
Brian actor Peter Gunn recently spoke to Digital Spy about Isabella?s suspicious arrival and how he wondered if she was hiding something.
He joked: "I keep thinking that she'll come out with a broad Lancashire accent at some point!"
"But no, she is Italian and she is my Italian cousin. I think she's hiding something back in Italy, but I don't know what.
"I think something's going on, because she wanted to come here, rather than us go there. So she's either running away from something or she's just very unpopular!"
