ITV Corrie fans are loving new character Dee-Dee as they predict new partnership

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).

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. Brilliant!"
