Coronation Street couple Darren and Courtney Vance have a tumultuous relationship, but off screen, actors Ryan Early and Stephanie Davis are the best of friends.<\/p>\n
Darren first appeared on the Street as a business contact of Dev Alahan\u2019s (Jimmi Harkishin).<\/p>\n
He soon took a shine to Dev\u2019s son Aadi (Adam Hussain) and offered him a job as his assistant, though Aadi soon came to realise that this meant chauffeuring Darren\u2019s wife Courtney around.<\/p>\n
Courtney soon fell for young Aadi, and the pair have been engaging in a steamy affair ever since.<\/p>\n
Though their characters are in a failing marriage, Ryan and Stephanie get on like a house on fire, as Ryan revealed when he lifted the lid on their friendship.<\/p>\n
Sorry, this video isn’t available any more.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Stephanie Davis is a force of nature in the best possible way because she\u2019s this brilliant combination, she\u2019s a lot younger than me, I\u2019ve been around for such a long time and done a lot of shows, but she\u2019s done it all, she\u2019s so experienced,\u2019 he said. <\/p>\n \u2018So coming in together was great, we met in makeup on day one, she threw her arms around me, we held our little fingers together and we were like okay we\u2019re a team let\u2019s stick together and have a laugh. <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cwz-OgyoNeh\/<\/p>\n \u2018And we really have, we cry with laughter so often during scenes, which is especially great now we\u2019re at war and in a marriage that is really falling apart. But when the camera cuts we\u2019ve become such great mates. It just makes filming such fun.\u2019<\/p>\n While Darren and Courtney are having some issues, Ryan revealed that, deep down, they are a \u2018match made in heaven\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018I think he absolutely loves her. I think it\u2019s a modern marriage, they got together through infidelity, they were an affair. He was already married before, but when he met Courtney, I truly feel that he believed he\u2019d found his soulmate. <\/p>\n \u2018She\u2019s a match for him, she\u2019s fiery, they can brown but they also make each other laugh more than anything. He found someone who wanted to join the good life with him but also had this business brain as well, so the two of them together as far as he\u2019s concerned are this amazing match. <\/p>\n \u2018She\u2019s not a trophy wife, but she\u2019s someone who loves to enjoy the finer things, looks good and is smart. For him it\u2019s a match made in heaven.\u2019<\/p>\n
