Coronation Street is reportedly bringing back a chaotic character, with the actor expected to be back on screen later this summer which will no doubt delight fans
Coronation Street icon Amy Robbins, best known for her role as Christina Boyd, is reportedly making a comeback to the cobbles despite her sudden exit from the long-running programme. According to reports, the 54-year-old star, who made her first appearance on Corrie in early 2023, has already started filming.
Amy made her exit from the show as nightmare mum of Daisy Midgeley earlier this year as part of Daisy's exit storyline. Amy played the role of Christina on and off since 2023. It was confirmed earlier this year that Charlotte Jordan, who played her on screen daughter, would leave the soap after four years, in a bid to "explore other opportunities."

Daisy might have left, but there's still a big storyline waiting for Christina, with fans able to expect her back on screen soon.
A source recently claimed to The Sun that Amy is filming new scenes, explaining: "Christina will be back to her usual tricks causing chaos on the cobbles. There's going to be some incredible scenes with her and Jenny clashing.
'And this time she's back for a long stint. She returned to filming recently and she'll be back on screen later this summer. It's definitely going to be explosive.'
When Charlotte left the show, she said: "My time at Coronation Street is something I'll always cherish. After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it's time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.'
Amy returned as "hot mess" Christina earlier this year to make sure her on-screen daughter had an exit to remember.
‌
Despite having a turbulent relationship, Daisy reached out to her mother, insisting she needed help. For the first time, the mother and daughter worked together as a duo, and unfortunately, Daisy's step mum Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) got the brunt of it.
Speaking of her previous return, Amy said to the Mirror at the time: "For the first time you see the two women work together. When push comes to shove, she's relying on her flesh and blood to help her out of it.
"Christina runs to her rescue to finally get revenge on Jenny, which is what she's always wanted to do."
‌
At the time, she also claimed it was her last stint on the cobbles and insisted a return for Christina was "highly unlikely" after Daisy's departure.
