It was hard to miss.
Corrie fans spotted a change in one character last night and it annoyed them. Fizz’s daughter Hope has been swapped for a new actress but it was so obvious because they look nothing alike.
Hope has been played by twins Faith and Nicole Holt since 2012. As seen below she has straight, blonde hair.
But now they’ve opted for a change and have cast Isabella Flanagan for the role, who has brown curly hair.
Isabella’s mother and father both tweeted about her new role.
Looking forward to watching two daughters tonight rather than just the one we’ve gotten used to #soapnight #Emmerdale #Corrie

Actors got swapped out very frequently, especially when it comes to children, but viewers were more puzzled and annoyed that they didn’t even try to get a child that looked like Hope.
absolutely ridiculous re-casting of hope in #Corrie??

LOL what’s so hard with getting a new Hope with the same colour hair as the previous actor or are we only having famous kids now? #corrie

First they change the actor that played Jack and now Hope has changed. Could have at least chosen lookalikes ? #Corrie #coronationstreet
