Sam Blakeman in Coronation Street has won legions of fans with his cute science knowledge and his heartbreaking grief for mum Natasha.
He’s the son of Nick Tilsley, though Nick wasn’t aware he existed until quite recently.
Sam’s mum, Natasha Blakeman, was Nick’s ex, who didn’t tell him she was pregnant when she left Weatherfield more than a decade ago.
Sam’s also Leanne Battersby‘s stepson, and part of the next generation of Platts. David Platt is his uncle, Sarah is his auntie, and Gail is his grandmother.
We reckon that makes him Corrie royalty!
Who plays Sam Blakeman in Coronation Street? How old is he?
Sam is played by young actor Jude Riordan.
He joined Corrie in 2020, but he was already an experienced actor having played Tyler on Brassic for several years, alongside former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan.
