Coronation Street fans were introduced to the soap's newest character Dee-Dee Bailey, and she quickly impressed with her no-nonsense attitude as she delved in to help her brother.
The Baileys were thrilled as Dee-Dee arrived home from America in Wednesday's episode (September 28). When footballer James showed her his letter from Weatherfield County offering him a paltry final pay-off after his career was suddenly cut short when he suffered a heart attack during a charity match with the Rovers Return, Dee-Dee wasn't standing for it.
His solicitor sister rolled up her sleeves and demanded a meeting with his bosses. As Dee-Dee pushed for and succeeded in landing him a better deal within minutes of her arrival, the ITV soap's viewers were won over. @andrewmcb tweeted: "I’m liking her x" And @KingOfSunshine praised: "Already loving Dee Dee.
