Coronation Street Theo Silverton star 'unrecognisable' as fans expose his past TV role


Coronation Street fans were left floored when they recognised new cast member James Cartwright

James Cartwright is jumping into the fray as Theo Silverton, a charismatic scaffolder who's sure to ruffle feathers with Julie (Katy Cavanagh) and George (Tony Maudsley), while somehow managing to buddy up with Todd (Gareth Pierce). Even before his first Corrie appearance, fans realised they've seen James before, notably as Nathan Jones, the memorable care worker from the much-loved children’s show The Story of Tracy Beaker, which aired from 2003 to 2007, reports Lancs Live. Notably, in 2009, James made waves on stage in 'The Rise and Fall of Little Voice', a play penned by his father and esteemed playwright Jim Cartwright.
