AFTER suffering a heart attack, James Bailey has seen his football career spiral from thriving to ending.

Luckily for him, his sister Dee-Dee arrives in Coronation Street with the firm intention of turning things around.

The Weatherfield football star played by Nathan Graham recently found out he had cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart that can be fatal and which landed him in hospital and put his football career on hold in recent scenes of the ITV soap.

However, the Bailey family are thrilled when Dee-Dee Bailey comes to the cobbles from America, although she was last thought to be living in Belgium.

Actress Channique Sterling-Brown will be taking on the new role as James' solicitor sister – which could be highly beneficial for him.

When he shows her the letter from Weatherfield County offering him a paltry final pay-off, Dee-Dee takes it upon herself to sort everything out for him.
