Luke is billed by the Daily Star Sunday as a replacement for Tommy Duckworth, after actor Chris Fountain was abruptly axed from the ITV soap for posting inappropriate videos online.
Steph - Katy Armstrong's friend who was recently promoted to regular character status - apparently secures the job for her brother after hearing about the position.
Steph has come for the job at the Bistro but Nick wants Leanne to do the interview.
