It's a strange time in general for the soaps though, as filming has been stopped due to the current COVID outbreak. Coronation Street bosses recently revealed, however, that they are working on plans to get the show back up and running. A Coronation Street spokesperson told Sky News that they're in the process of putting plans in place to do so in a safe way for cast and crew, explaining "The health and well-being of our people and those who work with us has always been our highest priority and remains so as we look to restart production.
The spokesperson said "We are in the final stages of working with others across the industry on a return-to-production protocol and we are in active discussions with the government on this. We will share more news in due course. Coronation Street is currently airing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Visit our Covid info hub for the latest news and information on the Covid pandemic. Understandably confused, viewers took to Twitter to question who Matt was and where he had come from.
One wrote: "Who is kebab man? Why is this his first appearance? Where is Chesney? I have so many questions! While a third questioned: "Some random bloke has come into the kebab shop to work a shift, like we all know who he is. Coronation Street fans have launched a petition to free Yasmeen Nazir from prison for trying to kill abusive husband Geoff Metcalfe. Chesney then said goodbye to his beloved pet, devastated. On 23rd December , it was a race against time for Chesney after he found out from Fiz that Katy had gone into labour at the nativity play, so Anna Windass had to deliver the baby.
Chesney was stranded in the middle of nowhere with Gary Windass after they had cut down some Christmas trees to be delivered. After the pair stole some bikes that weren't properly locked up, Chesney managed to make it in time to see the birth of his son, Joseph Peter. In early- , Katy began to struggle with looking after Joseph so she kept abandoning him. On one occasion, she went to the bank without Joseph and Chesney returned home just after Katy rushed back.
After the pair talked things through, Chesney said that Katy was a good mum and told her to stay, to which she agreed.
In August, Katy's sister Izzy had a miscarriage so Katy wanted to be a surrogate mother. This angered and hurt Chesney a lot that he almost fell out with the Armstrong family.
Eventually, Chesney and Katy's family had second thoughts and they all called a truce. Days later, he intended to see Cilla and her new boyfriend, but couldn't due to his own problems.
In early- , Chesney was left heartbroken by Katy after she had an affair with Ryan Connor behind his back. Chesney immediately threw Katy out, and started drinking out of depression. Fiz and Kirk eventually stopped Chesney's problem, and they advised him to try and win Katy back.
This worked and when it seemed that Chesney and Katy were making progress, Katy began sleeping at Ryan's flat so Chesney was left upset once again.
He began drinking and skiving off work again, much to the annoyance of Fiz. However, after meeting Sinead Tinker , Chesney realised he had to man up and get over Katy. Chesney purchased lots of clothes and gym equipment to look more manly, and Sinead seemed impressed by it. Unfortunately later on, a sceptical Sinead began having second thoughts about rushing into things, so Chesney rejected her. Weeks later, Sinead and Chesney made up but she became fed up of being messed around by Chesney so she left him for a while.
When Katy begged for another chance of a reunion, Chesney agreed but soon regretted having her back. After another row, Katy moved out so Chesney re-united with Sinead after promising not to mess her about. Days later, Fiz decided it was time to move out and live with her partner Tyrone Dobbs , leaving Chesney and Sinead to live on their own. Soon, Chesney learned from a fellow market trader that his stock was stolen, much to the annoyance of him and Sinead. Things later got worse when the insurance company refused to pay out for the stock.
In , Sinead realised she'd grown tired of her life with Chesney - finding him boring. She began meeting up with Daniel Osbourne , who was more on her wavelength, for sex and later finished her relationship with Chesney, understanding that it was better than leading him on as she had no intentions to stay with him.
Chesney was overcome with jealousy and fought Daniel in the street on more than one occasion. Not long into her new relationship, Sinead discovered she was pregnant. Daniel persuaded her to keep the baby as he hoped they could move away together and start a new life. However, after Daniel's dad Ken Barlow insulted Sinead and claimed that she was holding Daniel back from achieving his dreams and that one day he'd hate her for it - Sinead aborted their unborn baby.
This led Daniel to viciously attack Ken. Chesney suspected that Daniel was guilty right from the start, but Sinead ignored his opinions citing that he was just jealous of their relationship. In October , Chesney had been hospitalised after collapsing suddenly.
When in hospital, Izzy Armstrong received a devastating phone call from her dad informing her that her younger sister Katy had been killed in a car crash in Portugal.
He leapt up from his hospital bed to go and bring Joseph back to the UK. Just before he got in the taxi to the airport, Sinead proposed to him. A package was pushed through the door and he thought Gemma had been playing a trick on him by pretending to forget. However, he was left hugely disappointed when the package contained make-up products the mother-of-five had ordered for herself.
The young mother told her loved ones how the decision about whether their son Aled should get a cochlear implant was driving a wedge between them. She also shared her disappointment that her partner hadn't stuck to the sign language lessons to enable their deaf son to understand them without an implant.
Back at the couple's house, Paul read a card Joseph had written for his father and asked where the man of the hour was. Gemma said he had taken all five children to the park for ice cream and Paul shared his shock at how Chesney was managing it all. This gave the mother-of-five some food for thought and later in the episode, she was seen talking to her partner. What is happening where you live?
