Ryan Thomas Shares Proud Update About Scarlett’s Big News
Ryan Thomas revealed that his daughter Scarlett has reached a “life-changing” moment after signing a record deal. The former Coronation Street actor, who played Jason Grimshaw between 2000 and 2016, shared the update on Instagram along with a photo of himself and Scarlett. Ryan called it one of the best days of his life and said watching his daughter sign the deal meant everything to him.
He shared how proud he felt seeing her take such a big step, especially after years of hard work and belief in her talent. The day became even more special when Scarlett recognised the restaurant where the deal was signed. She told her dad she had been there before, and the family then found an old video of her standing on a chair, singing ‘A Million Dreams’ in front of her family. Ryan said it felt amazing to see that memory come back five years later, now linked to her dream coming true.
Ryan and Tina O’Brien Have Always Supported Their Daughter
Scarlett is the daughter of Ryan and fellow Tina O’Brien, who plays Sarah Platt on Coronation Street. Both parents have often spoken about how proud they are of Scarlett and how serious she is about her love for music. Tina shared a heartfelt message on Scarlett’s 17th birthday last year. She spoke about the night before Scarlett was born. Tina said meeting Scarlett felt instantly familiar, like she had always known her.
She also said Scarlett has filled her life with laughter and happiness every single day and shared how proud she feels watching her grow into a young woman. The message showed how strong the bond is between mother and daughter. Ryan has also shown his support in thoughtful ways. For Scarlett’s birthday, he surprised her by turning a room in their basement into a home recording studio.
He later said he wanted to give her a place where she could spend time doing what she loves most. Ryan added that seeing her reaction made all the effort worth it. Scarlett later spoke about the record deal herself. She said she felt very grateful for the opportunity and explained that she had been working hard behind the scenes before finally sharing the news. Fans quickly sent supportive messages, praising her hard work and cheering her on. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
