Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien gushes over Waterloo Road actress daughter with stunning snap

Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien has gushed over her actress daughter as she reminisced about their recent break with a stunning snap. Tina took to her Instagram Story with the photo of Scarlett Thomas who TV fans may recognise for appearing in the new series of Waterloo Road.

The popular Greater Manchester-based show, which launched back in 2006 and ran until 2015 after relocating to Scotland, returned to BBC One earlier this year before a second run of the rebooted series aired on-screen last month. And Scarlett, Tina's daughter with her former co-star ex-Ryan Thomas, was cast alongside her real-life uncle and cousin.

Ryan's younger brother Adam reprised his role of Donte Charles, who has now gone from pupil to member of staff. He's joined by Scarlett, 14, and his son Teddy, eight, playing Donte and his late with Chlo's children Izzi and Tommy.

And back to Tina's photo and the Corrie star, who is know for playing Sarah Barlow - nee Platt - in the ITV soap, shared how the pair had recently spent some time in Marbella with Tina's husband, Adam Crofts, and their son, Beau.

"Oh my, Scarlet is just [love hearts eyes emoji]," the Rusholme-born star wrote alongside the photo of her teenage daughter resting her chin on her arms as she propped herself up at the side of the pool from in the crystal blue water. The youngster's recently highlighted locks were left down as she covered her eyes in a pair of dark shades.

"Throwback to last weekend for our trip to Marbs," Tina added. It comes after Tina was seen leaving the drama of Weatherfield behind her as she was seen sipping what appeared to be a gin and tonic on a sun lounger.
