Joseph Peter Brown is the son of Chesney Brown and Katy Armstrong. Katy gave birth while she was playing Mary in the Christmas nativity at Weatherfield Community Hall. Joseph was the subject of the majority of the couple's arguments. In March 2015, Katy left Weatherfield with Joseph for a new life in Portugal. Following Katy's death in a car crash in October 2017, Chesney travelled to Portugal to collect Joseph and they returned to Weatherfield a few days later.
