Candice Marie Stowe was Sarah Platt's rebellious schoolfriend and later hairdresser at Audrey's salon from 2003 to 2005.

Through her close friendship with Sarah going back to 1999, Candice was already a familiar face to the residents of Coronation Street when Audrey Roberts took her in in 2003. Audrey let Candice move into the salon flat after her mother's boyfriend started to make unwanted advances. Her mum didn't believe her and threw her out.

Candice dated Nick Tilsley and both Todd and Jason Grimshaw before entering into a longer relationship with footballer Warren Baldwin. She had dreams of celebrity but in pursuing her goals she often came across as being airheaded and shallow. Luck was with Candice though as, after finishing with Warren, she was asked to fix the hair of several members of Status Quo who played at Les and Cilla Battersby-Brown's wedding. They were so impressed that they offered her a job as tour stylist and she left Weatherfield in 2005.

Candice was married in Greece in 2007, with Sarah flying over to be her bridesmaid.

The character of Candice was introduced in November 1999 as a friend for established character Sarah Louise Platt, who had just been recast with Tina O'Brien taking over the role. Over the next year, Candice played a major role in Sarah’s well-publicised teenage pregnancy storyline.

Actress Nikki Sanderson departed the role of Candice in November 2005, although reprised the role for a special programme, Coronation Street: Pantomime, which aired that Christmas. Two years later in 2007, reports emerged that the character would be making a brief return for Sarah's wedding to Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas). [1] Despite ITV confirming Sanderson's scenes were to be filmed later in the year, this never materialised. She later stated on the daytime talk show Loose Women that the plans had fallen through due to “scheduling issues”.
