Former Hollyoaks star Nathan Sussex is joining the cast of Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actor, who played sex offender Buster Smith in Hollyoaks<\/a> between 2018 and 2021, will join the ITV soap as a relative of Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine).<\/p>\n

This news, reported by Metro<\/a>, comes after executive producer Kate Brooks teased a “massive story” for Tim and wife Sally (Sally Dynevor) earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“It’s a story that tests them as people, tests them as a couple, but tests them as foster parents as well,” she revealed<\/a> at an event attended by Radio Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s a bit of a curveball and it comes from slightly left field, but absolutely upends their lives. It’s how they navigate that situation going forward.”<\/p>\n

Brooks continued: “Sally and Tim are so beloved and I just adore them. It’s seeing them in a slightly different position than what we’ve seen them in before.”<\/p>\n

Metro reassured readers that neither half of the couple are having an affair, with a source adding to the publication: “Nathan\u2019s casting is a coup for Coronation Street and an actor of his calibre won\u2019t just be coming in for a C-story, put it that way.<\/p>\n

“Working alongside Corrie legends Sally and Joe means it will be unmissable stuff, and it forms part of one of the show\u2019s big summer storylines, also moving into autumn.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s already started filming and it won\u2019t be long between first meeting him and seeing the crux of the story unfold.<\/p>\n

“That story will also dovetail further down the line with a Christina story. Christina and George are a really great, strong couple in the show. It\u2019s those friendships alive. There\u2019s a connection there as well\u2026”<\/p>\n

Radio Times understands this information to be true, and that Sussex’s first scenes will air in August.<\/p>\n
