Katie, daughter of Liz and Jim McDonald
Coronation Street has cast Hannah Ellis Ryan in the role of Jim and Liz McDonald's long-lost daughter Katie.
Tabloid reports circulating this week have suggested that Jim will arrive back in Weatherfield with a daughter in tow – in a twist that will turn Liz's world upside down.
Back in 1992, Liz and Jim had a baby girl, named Katie, who was born prematurely and thought not to have survived long after birth.

Little else is known about the story at the moment, but The Sun is now reporting that Australian actress Hannah has been cast in the role of Katie.
Katie's arrival is rumoured to cause shockwaves on the Cobbles, as Liz in particular struggles to cope with the return of the child she has always believed was dead.
Digital Spy reached out to ITV about Hannah's casting, but it declined to comment.
Charles Lawson confirmed his character Jim's return to the street earlier this year, saying: "They wanted me back full time this year, but I couldn't do it as I am doing Rebus on stage and a thriller.
"I'm going to film a bit but then will be back again next year."
