Joanne (2015/16 character)

Joanne was a woman who Kevin Webster met on a singles' night in a bar in December 2015. Also there were Anna Windass and Erica Holroyd though the latter came along more to give moral support to a nervous Anna. As Kevin and the two women swapped notes on who they had met, Joanne came along and told Kevin, who she had talked to earlier that night, that she was leaving as there was less atmosphere than on Mars. Anna was mortified that she was wearing the same dress as Joanne and therefore pleased to see the back of her!

Despite there being no obvious spark between them, Kevin and Joanne got in touch and arranged to meet at Nick's Bistro. Joanne was late, nervous that her dress was wrong and that she looked like her deceased great aunty Ethel who had lived at Domino Street in Weatherfield. The two got on fine during their meal as Anna, sat across the bar with her boring date Glen, watched enviously on. Joanne proved to be a chatterbox, jabbering away on subjects such as plants having souls, nevertheless Kevin agreed to meet her again and the two parted with a kiss. Anna realised that she was developing feelings for Kevin and was not pleased when she saw him and Joanne returning to No.13 after going out together again.


 * Joanne was played by Martha Cope, the daughter of two past "Coronation Street" actors - Kenneth Cope and Renny Lister.
