Young Susie gets gutting news on Coronation Street after falling ill

| Freelance Soaps Reporter Published November 14, 2026 8:00pm Will Susie ever get her chance at stardom? (Picture: ITV) Susie Price (Aurora Bradshaw) is a Coronation Street diva in the making. The daughter of Rovers’ Return landlady Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) is every bit as sassy and fabulous as her mum. At the tender age of eight, Susie is a Cobbles Queen in the making with more sass and style than the whole of Audrey’s Salon combined, as well as a flair for the dramatic. Naturally, she’s right at home in the heart of the action at the Rovers’ Return, where the drama flows as freely as pints of Newton and Ridley thanks to her loud and colourful stepfamily, the Driscolls.

Cue a bitter feud where Glenda accused Maggie of trying sabotage Susie’s bid for stardom. However, it was good old fashioned Corrie drama that put Susie’s west end dreams on ice. Her trip to the Big Smoke with Ben was cut short when Eva was accidentally pushed down the cellar steps by Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan.)
