A surprising new plot twist has unfolded in the storyline of Sam Blakeman on the popular TV show Coronation Street. Fans are curious about the age of actor Jude Riordan, who portrays Sam on the show since 2020 as the son of Nick Tilsley (played by Ben Price).
Sam’s character has been pivotal in significant moments on the show, such as the heartbreaking death of his on-screen mother, Natasha Blakeman, at the hands of villain Harvey Gaskell. Recently, a new storyline has emerged for Sam as he starts to suspect foul play in the relationship between Megan Walsh and Will Driscoll.
In a recent episode, Sam confronted Will about his relationship with Megan after noticing a jacket at her place. Despite Will denying any impropriety, Sam remains suspicious. The tension escalates when Megan confronts Sam and subtly threatens him to keep quiet.
Off-screen, Jude Riordan, who plays Sam, has garnered attention for his mature appearance, prompting fans to wonder about his age. Jude is currently 14 years old and will turn 15 in May this year. Apart from Coronation Street, Jude has appeared in various TV shows, including Channel 4’s documentary The Secret Life of 4, 5 and 6 Year Olds and Sky One’s Brassic, where he acted alongside Michelle Keegan.
Coronation Street airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 8:30 pm.
