Alison King’s alter ego Carla Connor has taken on a baby in Coronation Street, but who is the actress’s real-life daughter?

Carla Connor and Lisa Swain have been looking after Rob Donovan and Mandy’s baby – Connie.

But, away from the cobbles, actress Alison King already has plenty of parenting practice.

Baby Connie in Coronation Street

This week saw Carla Connor open her door to a little baby on her doorstep. Lisa Swain then spoke to the baby’s grandmother and found out that she was going in for minor surgery and needed the couple to look after the baby.

The baby in question was actually Rob Donovan and Mandy’s baby, making Carla little Connie’s aunt. Carla was reluctant to take in Connie at first, explaining to Lisa that she had no idea how to look after her.

She’d been pregnant once but had lost the baby during a miscarriage in 2014. She’d put the traumatic experience to the back of her mind but Connie’s arrival resurfaced it.

Lisa vowed to show Carla how to look after Connie, with Carla soon starting to bond with the smiley newborn.

It seems as though Connie’s starting to settle into her new life in Weatherfield, even if she’s kept everyone in the house awake all night.
