Viv Baldwin

Vivian "Viv" Baldwin is the mother of Danny Baldwin. She was played by Patricia Brake. She was first seen on the street in July 2005, following her husband Harry's death and later revealing to her brother-in-law Mike Baldwin that he was in fact Danny's biological father, not Harry.

Viv made a reappearance in Weatherfield at Christmas 2005, when the family went out to Christmas dinner.

In December 2006, she returned enquiring about her son's disappearance, only to find out the truth about her grandson Jamie Baldwin's affair with his former stepmother Frankie Baldwin. After finding this, Viv stormed back home to London.
