Jennie McAlpine, a star of Coronation Street, deserves congratulations on the birth of her third child.
In scenes that were broadcast in May, the actress who portrays Fiz Stape left the ITV serial to take maternity leave after learning she was expecting.
In a new interview on Monday (August 28), the 39-year-old has officially announced the birth of her baby girl, saying she really gave birth in April but chose to keep it under wraps for a little while longer.
When her little bundle of joy was born, she told OK! Magazine, “I’m so aware of how precious this time is and just how quickly it goes.” Chaos reigns, though. It was already chaotic, but now it’s even worse!
Jennie confessed to the magazine that picking a name was a “big conversation” she and her husband of six years, Chris Farr, had before settling on Doris.
Doris is a family name, and she continued, “I love that it matches with Albert and Hilda.” They’re all quite ‘Corrie’ too, I think.
Doris Speed was the name of the actress who played the first Rovers landlady, Annie Walker, so there must be something in my DNA that causes these baby names to keep happening!
In Jennie’s absence, Corrie temporarily wrote Fiz’s character off the show and sent her to Norfolk.
Fiz accepted Stephen Reid’s (Todd Boyce) offer to work as an Underworld manager after being presented with the opportunity.
The position required moving away from her family, even though it offered a salary that was double what Fiz was previously making.
Fiz left the cobbles in May as a result of her husband Tyrone Dobbs’ (Alan Halsall) prompt encouragement for her to accept the position.
