Sam was Pat Hegherty's nephew. He wangled him a job on the Medical Centre's building site in Rosamund Street but he landed in trouble when he took Jack Duckworth's advice and didn't put the workers money on a horse - that won. To pay the lads back he turned to his other role - stripping for women as The Masked Python.

Background information[]

Five years before debuting as Sam in June 2000, Scott Wright played an uncredited extra in Coronation Street in 1995. The programme was his first credited acting job, although the part was originally only intended for seven episodes. The role was retained after a positive viewer reaction, which even earned Wright a nomination for Most Popular Newcomer at the National Television Awards in 2001. However, he lost out to EastEnders's Jessie Wallace.
