Coronation Street fans seriously concerned for beloved character as they ‘rumble’ Isabella’s secret
CORONATION Street fans grow concerned for the much loved character Brian Packham as his cousin Isabella’s secret is rumbled.
Newcomer Isabella (Flaminia Cinque) made a lasting impression when she met Brian’s (Peter Gunn) friends George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) and Mary Taylor (Patti Clare).
Upcoming scenes on Coronation Street will see Brian try and pack her off on a trip around the country after she mentions she can’t move back to Italy as her flat isn’t ready.
But fans are convinced Isabella is trying to scam Brian.
Taking to Reddit, one user commented: “Do we think Brian’s cousin is legit or do we thinks she’s a con because her flat suddenly being uninhabitable was a bit weird?”
Another fan replied: “Yeah she might be Italian but she’s probably not related to him. She’s been acting sus for awhile.
“Now it’s almost like she’s trying to offend as many people as possible which either means she’s beyond clueless or doing it purposely but why?”
Another added: “I think there is definitely wrong about her I can’t figure out what. Brian isn’t rich so it can’t be money.
“She is very strange and reminds me of an old friend’s crazy Italian wife who spends her time tying to start fights.”
Actor Peter Gunn addressed fans who think that Isabella may not even be Italian and is faking her accent.
He said: “I keep thinking that she’ll come out with a broad Lancashire accent at some point!
“But no, she is Italian and she is my Italian cousin. “I think she’s hiding something back in Italy, but I don’t know what. I think something’s going on, because she wanted to come here, rather than us go there.
“So she’s either running away from something or she’s just very unpopular!”
Viewers will learn what Isabella is hiding very soon.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV at 8pm.
