Evans described his character as "violent, cruel and manipulative", and said that Corey would "do anything to save his own skin".[20] After his attack on Nina and Seb, Inside Soap magazine wrote that he is the "most hated man on Coronation Street" and described him as "nasty" and "vile".[20] Evans stated that with typical villains, there is a charm to their characterisation, but said that there is no charm to Corey. He liked there being "no redeemable features about him" since it made him a hated character to raise awareness for hate crimes.[20] The actor added that despite Corey's response to Seb's death to be covering his tracks, Corey does feel guilt towards what happened, and noted that viewers can see his vulnerable side in scenes with Asha and her father Dev (Jimmi Harkishin). In an interview with Inside Soap, Evans recalled a time when he went out in public and was approached by viewers of the soap. He expected to be given negative comments for his role as villain Corey, but was instead told positive comments about his acting. Evans also told the magazine that he would find it interesting to see Corey appear on the soap for a long tenure since it would allow viewers to realise that "these devils are walking around among us", but admitted that like viewers, he would eventually like to see Corey get his comeuppance.[20]

James Bailey, played by Nathan Graham, first appears in episode 9776, first broadcast on 22 May 2019.[21] Details about the character and Graham's casting were announced on 6 April 2019.[22] James is introduced as a member of the Bailey family, consisting of brothers James and Michael (Ryan Russell), and their parents, Ed (Trevor Michael Georges) and Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw).[22] The family are introduced when they move into No. 3 Coronation Street.[22] The family are the first black family to appear on the soap since 2013.[23] Producer Iain MacLeod called the family "funny, warm and will pull together through thick and thin", expressing his joy at their castings, while adding that the actors work well together.[22] Graham also shared his delight at joining the cast and becoming part of the Bailey family.[22]
James is 19 years old and the youngest member of the Bailey family.[22][24] He is a gifted footballer who plays for Weatherfield County's youth football team and is characterised as attractive, hard-working, "brooding", "quiet, modest and hard-working".[22][24] He is close to his father and brother and billed as Ed's "pride and joy", and a friend to Michael.[22][25] Graham called James "the apple of his father's eye" and explained that Edison wanted to be a footballer, but could not manage it, so is "almost living his life through James".[24] In regard to his career, Graham described James as "very determined and driven to achieving his dreams" as he hopes to progress and move to better football teams.[24] MacLeod called James "a fundamentally decent guy".[26] James establishes a close bond with Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) after his arrival when she mistakenly tries for a relationship with him, unaware that he is gay.[26]
James was the first member of the Bailey family to be introduced. He first appears as part of a storyline about Steve McDonald's (Simon Gregson) work troubles, which sees the character held at knifepoint by a taxi customer.[21] MacLeod explained that at that point, the audience are unaware of James' identity.[21] When James and two friends refuse to pay their taxi fare, Steve chases them with a baseball bat. James is consequently knocked down by a car, but claims that he is fine and does not want to "make a fuss" due to his career.[21] James and Steve soon bond and MacLeod confirmed that James would establish friendships with Steve and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) as they are in awe of his football connection.[26]
MacLeod noted that James would be worried about coming out to his family, and that his homosexuality would affect his football career.
In September 2022, it was announced that Graham had quit Coronation Street. His final scenes had been filmed prior to the announcement and the character's final appearance is due to air on 3 October 2022.[28]

Aggie Bailey, played by Lorna Laidlaw, first appears in episode 9793, first broadcast on 12 June 2019.[22] The character and Laidlaw's casting details were announced on 6 April 2019.[22] Aggie is introduced as a member of the Bailey family, consisting of brothers Michael (Ryan Russell) and James Bailey (Nathan Graham), and their parents, Aggie and Ed Bailey (Trevor Michael Georges).[22] The family are introduced when they move into No. 3 Coronation Street and purchase the local construction yard.[22] The family are the first black family to appear on the soap since 2013.[23] Producer Iain MacLeod called the family "funny, warm and will pull together through thick and thin" and expressed his joy at their castings, adding that the actors work well together.[22] Laidlaw expressed her excitement at joining the soap, which she called "a staple" of British television.[22] Laidlaw was highly publicised for playing Mrs Tembe in the BBC soap opera Doctors, a role she played until leaving in February 2019. The actress was concerned about transferring from one soap to another, but thought the characters varied enough.[30] She also revealed that she was surprised to be offered the role of Aggie.[30] On April 5th 2024 after 10 months offscreen it was confirmed Aggie would not be returning to Coronation Street after her last appearance on June 12th 2023
Aggie is in her 50s and is a pharmacy assistant. The character is billed as "friendly, fun and outrageous in equal measures".[22] Laidlaw contrasted Aggie's characteristics with that of Mrs Tembe, opining that they are very different and "on the other end of the scale" to Mrs Tembe.[30] Aggie favours Michael and considers him to be "the apple of [her] eye".[22] Writers created an evident love and chemistry between Aggie and Edison and it is clear how in love they are with each other.[22] MacLeod called Aggie and Edison "soulmates" who are loyal to their family and very friendly with each other.[22] Aggie also establishes friendships with Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) and Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).[26]
In August 2019, the Baileys are explored more as a family, as it is revealed why they moved to Coronation Street in the first place, having used to live in a bigger, more luxurious house. Aggie's husband, Ed secretly battled a gambling addiction and as a result, they lost their house but unable to take responsibility for his actions and admit the truth, the Bailey's eldest son, Michael took the blame and face the brunt of Aggie's anger. Aggie realises their financial hardships when her card is declined in a shop. Aggie gets a part-time job at Roy's Rolls, telling Roy Cropper (David Neilson) that she needs the money. Roy reluctantly hires Aggie and tries to train her up, but her cooking comes under criticism from some customers. The criticism causes Aggie to break down crying over her family's situation, to which Roy comforts her and the pair's friendship grows. As she manages two jobs, Aggie manages to help get the Baileys back on their feet, during which time she forms friendships with Liz and Eileen.
James comes out to Michael as gay, but fears that publicly coming out will put the spotlight on him and ruin his career as a professional footballer. It is soon revealed that Aggie has known about James' sexuality for years, due to her maternal nature and motherly instincts. Aggie also reveals that the other Bailey child, Dee Dee, is also aware of James being gay. Aggie then tells James that everyone now knows in the family apart from Ed and she doesn't want that, so she urges James to come clean and tell Ed the truth, despite James being fearful of Ed's reaction. James tells Aggie that he will do it in his own time. Aggie opens up to Roy about why she left nursing. She reveals that a patient died and she felt responsible, despite it not being her fault. This led to increased paranoia whilst at work, as she would check things several times and she began to doubt herself, which caused her confidence to crumble and as a result, she quit. Roy suggests that she could maybe go back to nursing, which Aggie considers but doesn't know if she has the courage to go through with it. The Baileys attend the Weatherfield Hearts Awards where Aggie collects her award, having won for her actions of bravery. She dedicates her award to her family. Aggie later announces to her family that she has decided to return to nursing and as a result, stops working at Roy's Rolls.

He also praised Gibson, as he felt that she brought life to the character.[35] Gibson later received more praise from Inside Soap when she was compared to former cast member Michelle Keegan, who portrayed Tina McIntyre; columnist Laura-Jayne Tyler wrote: "the second we laid eyes on Corrie's Millie Gibson, we knew that she had star quality – like a young Michelle Keegan type of energy. Such a bright and intuitive young actress."[36]
In August 2022, it was announced by the Daily Mirror that Gibson had quit Coronation Street and that Kelly would exit in an "explosive" storyline.[37] Gibson or producers did not reveal anything about Kelly's exit and would not confirm whether she would be able to return in the future or not.[37] Kelly's final scenes were broadcast on 23 September 2022.

Grace Vickers, played by Kate Spencer, first appeared on 20 November 2019.[51] She is introduced as Michael Bailey's (Ryan Russell) ex-girlfriend who left him after stating she was pregnant. Michael then sees Grace with a child, Tianna, and assumes it is his daughter. After she allows Michael to bond with Tianna, it is revealed that she is not the daughter of Michael or Grace herself, and that she is the childminder of Tianna. She explains that she had a miscarriage with her pregnancy. Despite her attempts to reconcile her relationship with Michael, he reports her to the police, and she is arrested, and unbeknownst to him, Grace is pregnant. Grace is accompanied by prison guards to the hospital to have a baby scan, where she sees Michael. She informs him of the pregnancy, and he does not initially believe her due to the lies she has told. He later asks for a paternity test, and it is confirmed that he is the father. The pair agree to not be romantically involved, but to live together for the sake of raising the baby.
Actress Spencer knew from the audition process that the storyline would result in a twist about the baby's parents, and explained that as an actress, it was a great storyline to portray. She explained that the viewers would ask her why Grace stormed out from Michael a lot, and that she knew why, but could not divulge information on the storyline. She added that people "probably won't like what Grace did", but hoped that viewers could understand why she did it due to her "breakdown and her issues". Speaking on her character's decision to lie about Tianna being their child, Spencer stated that it was due to suffering from a miscarriage, and wanting Michael to feel the same amount of pain that she did. She noted that while the miscarriage explains what Grace did, "it doesn't excuse it". She stated that while lying about the child, Grace was "pretty stressed", and she opined that her character had not thought the plan through thoroughly, adding that Grace "entered into this lie without thinking it through". Spencer also explained that Grace's motive was to hurt Michael, and that she did not expect for Grace to "fall back in love" with him. She confirmed that despite the harmful lie she told to Michael, her romantic feelings for Michael were reignited when "Grace saw a new version of Michael that was committed to her and Tianna". Spencer stated that she believes Grace is remorseful for what she did to Michael, and that Grace has "a few mental health problems and she hasn't got over the fact that she lost a child". She also confirmed that despite going to prison, Grace would return in the future.[52] In September 2021, it was announced that Spencer would be departing from Coronation Street later in the year as part of a "dark blackmail story".[53]
