'Coronation Street's Becky McDonald is to get a half-sister in the soap, actress Katherine Kelly has revealed.
Speaking of what lies ahead for her character, Katherine told PA: "We've got some really, really exciting stuff happening. Becky's going to get a half-sister - a younger sister - so that's all really fun.
"And of course Tracy Barlow's coming back on the scene at the end of the year so it's good times."
Last year it was reported that Corrie bosses were considering casting Katherine's real-life sister Grace as a relative for Becky.
In the soap, former drug addict Becky has begun making plans to adopt with husband Steve (Simon Gregson).
Asked if the couple's plans would come to fruition, she said: "Do they adopt? We just have to see. A lot can go wrong in a year so we'll just have to see if that happens or not."
