Former Hollyoaks Actor James Atherton Makes His First Appearance On Corrie

Former Hollyoaks actor James Atherton made his first appearance on Coronation Street yesterday. Although the news was revealed a couple of months ago, viewers still seemed to get a shock when James, playing Jamie, a friend of Luke Britton, arrived on the Cobbles. Some Twitter users seemed to be surprised at the fact that James, who's best known for his role as Will Savage on the Chester based soap, is now a Coronation Street actor.

Another tweet referenced the fact that "Will from Hollyoaks" is looking very well and with that in mind, maybe we'll have to tune in to Corrie now.
