While Claire was originally introduced as the new nanny of Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) in 2003, she soon fell in love with the butcher and they ended up getting married.

Some of her bigger storylines include her developing post natal depression after giving birth to their son Freddie and being sectioned for mental health issues.

Julia first appeared on our screens as Miranda Pudsey in Three Seven Eleven and other credits include Heartbeat, Medics, Where the Heart Is, Monarch of the Glen and Peak Practice.

Since leaving Corrie, she has also appeared in The Royals, Doctors and Once a Year on Blackpool Sands.

Back on The Bay, Lisa and Med are getting closer to the truth about who killed Stephen after his traumatised son Oliver Marshbrook (Leo Ashton) revealed a crucial clue about the hitman.

As well as drawing his double-headed eagle tattoo, Oliver mentioned there was a “boy on the bike” who Oliver saw cycle past the house.

This actually turns out to be a troubled 12-year-old girl called Cassie who was forced to collect the murder weapon and cycle away with it.

Viewers have been left wondering who the hitman is and why Cassie is involved.
