Coronation Street fans have expressed shock upon learning the true age of Anya Dewin, the actress cast as Lucy Parkinson. Dewin, who recently concluded her Year 13 education, is a mere 18 years old. She made her debut on the ITV soap earlier this year.
Lucy Parkinson is introduced as the daughter of Richie, Tim Metcalfe's estranged cousin. Richie confided in Tim about marital issues before being arrested for his wife Rachel's murder. With Richie imprisoned, Lucy was to enter foster care, but Tim and Sally have taken her in.
Dewin's casting at such a young age has garnered significant attention. Co-star Tony Maudsley congratulated her on her on-screen debut and her A-Level results, welcoming her to the show. Coronation Street airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX.
