Maureen Lipman has joined the cast of Coronation Street as an “outspoken battleaxe” who will turn the existing characters’ lives “upside down.”
Ms Lipman will play Tyrone Dobb’s grandma Evelyn Plummer, having come into his life after he decides to research his family history following the death of his mum Jackie.
According to ITV, Ms Lipman’s character will “rule the roost” at number nine, much to Fiz’s dismay.
The British actress and comedian, 72, already appeared in the soap back in 2002 when she made an appearance as snooty landlady Lillian Spencer.
