The Bailey family arrived on Coronation Street earlier this year but ITV soap fans still don’t know much about the head of the family, Aggie (played by Lorna Laidlaw). However, in upcoming scenes viewers will get a glimpse into the matriarch’s past and why she stepped away from her role as a nurse following her brave efforts to save Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill) after he was shot by Derek Milligan (Craig Els) on Christmas Day.
During the Christmas shoot-out, Aggie tried to save Robert having been a former nurse.
Although she was unable to save him, her actions lead to her son James Bailey (Nathan Graham) recommending her for an award for bravery.
Following his recommendation, a reporter for the Weatherfield Gazette turns up and asks Aggie about her time as a nurse.
However, Aggie is reluctant to talk about her past career and why she stopped.
