Daisy Jordan Biography & Facts

Daisy Midgeley is a fictional character from the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Charlotte Jordan. The character was mentioned by stepmother Jenny Bradley (Sally Ann Matthews) in October 2020, and a month later, the soap announced Jordan's casting as Daisy. Daisy made her first appearance on 27 November 2020. From her arrival, she takes a dislike to Jenny's husband Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley) and works on getting Jenny to leave him. Her other storylines have involved her short term crushes on men who are in relationships, becoming involved in a multi-level marketing scheme, blackmailing Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan), becoming engaged to Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and being stalked by Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still), which culminated in her and Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) being the victim of an acid attack perpetrated by Justin. The production team on Coronation Street have expressed potential plans for Daisy to become a villain on the soap, which received the support of actress Jordan. She felt that Daisy has the potential to become an "iconic bad girl" like fellow character Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford). However, since troublemaking ventures, her backstory has been explored with her struggling with abandonment issues throughout her childhood and she has since developed a relationship with Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard). Daisy has been well received by viewers and Jordan won the British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance in 2023 after Daisy's stalking storyline. Development Casting and characterisation A month prior to the announcement of her casting, Daisy was mentioned on-screen by Jenny Bradley (Sally Ann Matthews), who was phoning the character, and it is explained that despite the breakdown of Jenny's marriage with Daisy's father, she kept in touch with Daisy over the years. Jess Lee of Digital Spy stated that Jenny is delighted to see Daisy again, but noted that she will "cause trouble during her time in Weatherfield". ITV stated that there is "a lot more to Daisy than her sweet name suggests", with producer Ian MacLeod stating: "Daisy might seem like sweetness and light at first, but can be a maelstrom of minxy mischief when the mood takes her. She revels in devilment and can be very self-serving, but she's fiercely loyal to those she cares about - although her loyalties can change in a heartbeat", adding that Daisy's motive is to "bring chaos and conflict into Jenny's life". Actress Charlotte Jordan was thrilled to be joining Coronation Street during the 60th anniversary of the soap. She said that it was especially great to be cast in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since she is from Surrey, Jordan did not know how to do a Mancunian accent. However, her friend was filming an ITV drama in Manchester which she had to use a voice coach for. Jordan used her friend as a voice coach to "nail the accent down". On her character, Jordan said: "Daisy has been a delight to play so far with her lack of filter and flirty nature but there's certainly more to her than meets the eye. I'm excited to flesh her out and see what lies ahead for hers and Jenny's relationship." She commented on Daisy's bluntness, stating that she does not have a filter and that she tends to say what she thinks without thinking of the consequences. Jordan also opined that there are a lot of routes that could be taken with her character and that she is a "work in progress". She explained that despite Daisy being mainly concerned for herself, she does love Jenny a lot due to being loyal to the people she loves. Jordan described Jenny as the only mother figure that Daisy has encountered throughout her life, and due to the happiness that Daisy associates with Jenny, she wants to rebuild their connection. Jordan also stated that Daisy believes Jenny's husband Johnny is not good enough for Jenny and said that "he needs to go" since "she just instantly hates [him]". Jordan admitted that her character does not go about things in the best way, but defended her actions since they have the objective of making Jenny happy in the long term. Jordan also revealed that producers have informed her of a "potential love match" for Daisy, hinting that they are "very different" to her. Jordan later said that her character sees men as toys and would only get a love interest if she was bored. She hinted that when Daisy does become bored, she would "go around seeing what sort of trouble she can stir up". Speaking to Digital Spy, Jordan stated that she has had various conversations with the script editors, storyliners and producers about her character's potential to be a villain on the soap. She also revealed that her contract had been extended until September 2021 and expressed hopes for it to be renewed again. She said that as of May 2021, the production team were still deciding "just how dark can [they] make her". Speaking further on Daisy's potential as a villain with Stuff, Jordan likened Daisy to fellow Coronation Street character Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford). She felt that they both will do whatever they can to protect themselves and Jordan hoped Daisy could become "an iconic bad girl" like Tracy in the future. She also felt that playing a character that causes mischief and raises people's eyebrows is a more fun role to play than a regular character, especially since she felt she so different to her character in her own life. Jordan responded to the production team's unset plans by portraying Daisy as both humane and "totally psychotic". Despite her uncertainty on where her character was headed, Jordan liked how Daisy is "a bit of a troublemaker, she's a bit minxy and she's got a bit of a backstory behind it" since it allowed her to "play all sides of the spectrum". Daisy's afore mentioned backstory involves her telling Jenny that she has nowhere else to go, which leads Jenny to take pity on her and allow her to stay despite her troublemaking. Jordan opined that Daisy is telling the truth. She enjoyed portraying a vulnerable side to Daisy, which she felt contrasted to her character being "fake towards everybody just to get what she wants". Jordan also appreciated having a backstory for her character, branding Daisy a survivor due to coming out of her bad childhood with a headstrong attitude. On Daisy's confession to Jenny about her childhood, Jordan explained: "This is her stripped back and saying: 'This is what happened to me and I really don't want to go, so please don't kick me out, which I think is a really nice side to see of her, because no-one's born horrible. No-one's born a bitch or a villain or whatever you want to call it – they're made that way." Relationship with Daniel Osbourne In June 2021, scenes of Daisy and Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) arguing aired over him writing an exposé on her ventures with Double Glammy, a multi-level marketing scheme. Viewers then predicted that the pair would embark on a romantic relationship. Months later, scenes see Daisy opening up about the.... Discover the Daisy Jordan popular books.
