Fans of Coronation Street have been watching Carl Webster stir up trouble on the cobbles, but there’s more to actor Jonathan Howard than his on-screen villainy. Away from Weatherfield, his personal life has quietly connected him to a major global TV hit that’s now about to reach an even bigger audience.
Carl Webster Star Jonathan Howard Has A Famous Connection At Home
Jonathan Howard joined Coronation Street last year as the scheming Carl Webster, quickly making an impression as one of the soap’s more intriguing villains. While viewers have been focused on his dramatic storyline, his real-life world tells a very different story.
The 41-year-old actor is married to Elodie Yung, a well-known Hollywood star with an impressive list of credits.
She has appeared in major productions like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and Marvel’s Daredevil, making her a familiar face to global audiences.
More recently, Elodie has taken centre stage in the Fox crime drama The Cleaning Lady, where she plays the lead role of Thony De La Rosa. The series has quietly built a strong following over the years. And now it’s about to reach a whole new audience.
The Cleaning Lady Heads To Netflix
The Cleaning Lady ran for four seasons between 2022 and 2025 and will drop on Netflix this week. The move is expected to bring fresh attention to the show and its gripping storyline.
The plot follows Thony De La Rosa, a talented Cambodian doctor who travels to the United States seeking treatment for her seriously ill son. However, things don’t go as planned. The system fails her, forcing her into hiding and pushing her into a life she never expected.
Instead of giving up, Thony takes control of her situation. She begins working as a cleaning lady for organised crime groups, using her intelligence and resourcefulness to survive. The synopsis teases how she “refuses to be beaten down and marginalized”. And she instead carves her own path in the criminal underworld, doing whatever it takes to protect her child.
Audience reactions have remained consistently positive, with many praising how the show keeps them hooked from beginning to end. Early reactions were just as encouraging, with one viewer noting that it was a “great start” and expressing hope that the series would continue for many seasons.
Carl’s real-life wife seems to be just as talented as he is. And we can’t wait to see both of them together someday. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more such behind-the-scenes spoilers from Coronation Street.
