Tiny Corrie favourite Susie Price has already made a loud and funny return to Weatherfield, but there is an even sweeter detail behind her comeback. The young actress who plays Susie, Aurora Bradshaw, is not the only member of her family working on Coronation Street, as her real-life older brother also appears on the cobbles.
Susie Price’s Corrie Comeback Comes With A Real-Life Family Twist
Susie Price, played by Aurora Bradshaw, returned to Coronation Street last year with her mum Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley. The last time viewers saw Susie in Weatherfield, she was only a baby, but she is now seven years old and already showing a big personality on screen.
Since moving into the Rovers Return pub with Eva and the new Driscoll family, Susie has quickly become a standout young character. Her witty comments, cheeky attitude, and hilarious one-liners have helped her shine in every scene she appears in.
She has also made life interesting for her stepdad Ben Driscoll, played by Aaron McCusker, and her brothers Ollie Driscoll, played by Raphael Akuwudike, and Will Driscoll, played by Lucas Hodgson-Wale. From the moment she arrived, viewers could tell Susie would not be a quiet presence in the family.
Fans have already warmed to her, with one viewer writing on Twitter/X: “‘Susie is suddenly my fav person ever, what a diva’” while another added: “‘Lil Susie is fab.’” However, away from Susie’s sharp lines and scene-stealing moments, Aurora’s real-life connection to another Corrie star has now become a lovely talking point.
Aurora Bradshaw’s Brother Also Stars On Coronation Street
Aurora Bradshaw may be new to the cobbles as Susie Price, but her family already had a link to Weatherfield before her arrival. Her older brother, Bobby Bradshaw, plays Jake Windass on Coronation Street.
Bobby has played Jake since 2018. His character is the son of Gary Windass and Izzy Armstrong. So, while Aurora appears as part of Eva Price and the Driscoll family’s storyline, Bobby has been part of the Windass family’s world for years.
The sibling connection makes Aurora’s Corrie debut even more special. Bobby proudly shared the news of his sister joining the soap on Instagram last year, writing: “‘The news is finally out!!! Congratulations to my little sister aurora! She is part of the new family and her first episode Airs 27th October.’”
He later gave fans another glimpse of the family’s excitement by sharing pictures from the watch party they threw for Aurora’s first episode. Showing his pride in his younger sister’s big moment, he announced: “‘Only the best for the best!’”
Aurora’s arrival also received plenty of love from her Coronation Street co-stars. Several cast members commented on Bobby’s posts and celebrated her debut as Susie Price. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers and behind-the-scenes updates.
