Who is Eliza Woodrow in Coronation Street?

Eliza is the granddaughter of Stu Carpenter and Lucy Woodrow.

Her mother is Bridget Woodrow. Bridget previously mentioned that Eliza’s father is not in the picture.

In the late 80s Stu was convicted for the murder of Charlie Walters.

Stu and Charlie had been having an affair and he spent 27 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

After leaving prison, Stu was homeless and lived on the street, unable to get in contact with his family.

However after meeting and helping Kelly Neelan, she helped Stu get work at Speed Daal.

He then moved in with Yasmeen Nazir.

Stu eventually reunited with Bridget, which upset Lucy.

Stu was thrilled to learn he had a granddaughter called Eliza.

With the help of Yasmeen, Alya and Dee-Dee he tried to get his conviction overturned and find out who really killed Charlie.
