What has actor Sam Aston said about Chesney in Corrie?
Speaking about Chesney’s reaction to Gemma leaving their babies on the bus, Sam told Metro.co.uk: “All Chesney sees is Gemma get on the bus with the quads and then suddenly get off leaving them on board. He is horrified and has to run after the bus to rescue the babies. He is out of his depth and calls Bernie.
“He and Bernie try to talk to her but she gets upset and refuses to speak to them both and storms out of the house. Chesney is worried sick but when she returns having spoken to Rita she finally tells him just how bad things have got and that she is a terrible mother. Chesney is horrified to realise she has been feeling like this and he realises she needs to see the doctor.”
Speaking about Chesney’s reaction to Gemma’s depression, Sam added: "He knows she hasn’t been doing too well but he has also been under pressure so he hasn’t really thought it is anything more than just the stress of having all the children to deal with. Bernie and Gemma didn’t tell him about the doctor’s appointment so he is in the dark. He is also a bit annoyed about the fact that Bernie has moved back in and that the two of them are rowing.
"When Aled finally hears their voices it is a huge moment and Gemma feels that she can cope on her own without Bernie’s help.Bernie tells him to keep an eye on Gemma but the real problem is that Gemma doesn’t want to open up to Chesney, she is in denial and as Bernie hasn’t told him about the nature of her concerns he doesn’t push it."
