Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon has asked for fans' help over her on-screen son. The actress took to social media as it was revealed that her co-star Charlie Wrenshall had been nominated for an award.
They have both been part of a hard-hitting storyline in recent months, based around Charlie's character Liam Connor's bullying hell. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the teen was cruelly tormented at the hands of Weatherfield High bully Mason Radcliffe.
He was seen being subject to intense bullying by Mason and his group of pals, including neighbour and friend Dylan Wilson, with Mason even pulling a knife on Liam during one of his cruel bullying sessions.

There were then more heartbreaking scenes when the infuriating bullying campaign later resulted in the discovery that Liam was contemplating taking his own life, leaving his terrified mum, Maria Windass, watching her son's every move, even going so far as to set up a camera in their home.
While justice has somewhat prevailed with Mason told in court that he would have to face a custodial sentence as he had been convicted of possessing a knife before, Liam's suffering has continued and he recently tried to self-medicate his panic attacks by taking pills belonging to Paul Foreman.
Following the scare, Liam has been undergoing counselling but now, Samia's character Maria Windass is facing problems in her relationship with her husband Gary.
But away from Weatherfield life, Samia revealed Charlie had been nominated for an award at the upcoming RadioTime.com Soap Awards 2024. The ceremony is set to take place in Manchester this summer with stars from Corrie, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks all set to be recognised.
Charlie is nominated in the Best Young Performer category. But despite the award being voted for by a panel of soap experts, Samia encouraged her fans and followers to vote. She said on her Instagram Story: "Please vote for my wonderfully talented telly son @charliewrenshall and all things @coronationstreet."
