Angie Appleton is a fictional character from the British soap opera Coronation Street, played by Victoria Ekanoye.

The family arrive to Weatherfield for the wedding of Jude's mother, Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), which is revealed to be a charade to win a competition.

[3] Speaking about joining the soap, Ekanoye, who grew up watching Coronation Street, called it a "surreal scenario to see it suddenly becoming my reality", adding that it is "mind boggling, but you just have to get your professional head on and do your job.

[4] Speaking about the character, Ekanoye noted that Angie was a "strong minded" businesswoman before giving birth to her son, and that she is "itching" to get back to work in finance law.

"[5] Explaining the character's backstory, Ekanoye revealed that Angie and Jude met at university and then moved to South Africa for a new life.

[2] The couple and George arrive in Weatherfield in "eager anticipation" for Mary's wedding to Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden), unaware that is a "charade".

[1] Ekanoye explained that whilst Jude is happy for his mother, Angie "picks up on all the micro expressions" between her and Norris, adding that she "keeps noticing their body language and quickly becomes convinced that all is not as it seems".

[2] The actress expressed her delight in joining their unit, saying, "Patti and Malcolm are such a great duo and we laugh all the time on set, even when we shouldn't be.

[2] Ekanoye explained that whilst Angie "really feels for her on a woman-to-woman level", she knows that Jude needs to be told, even though it will "break his heart".

"[6] The actress added that this is causing a rift between her and Jude, with Angie believing that his priority should be his wife and child, especially as he has only met Mary recently.

[8][9] At the hospital, Angie is left "stunned" when she is told that she may have postnatal depression after she admits to a member of staff that she has been struggling with her son.

[4] The actress was happy about the reaction as she thought that she had done a good job, believing that people commenting proved she had made an "impact".

[6] Ekanoye joked that she would "never" want a mother-in-law like Mary, but noted that she enjoyed working with Clare, calling her "sweet", "funny" and a "good egg" with great "energy".

[15] Despite seeing Angie's logic, Jude sticks up for his mother, which causes the pair to argue, but they then rush to George when his life is "clearly in danger" and to their surprise Mary emerges from the room.

[17] Fans had previously speculated that George was allergic to bananas and pollen, the latter being triggered by Mary working in flower shop.

[23][24] Speaking about the betrayal, Ekanoye explained, "It's the fact that [Jude] lied to [Angie] for so long, every single day for two years.

[25] She ends up confiding in Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) for support, with Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy hinting that the pair are getting "closer" and the Daily Mirror's Jenny Desborough speculating that things could become "steamy".

[27] When Angie confesses the attempted kiss to Jude, he berates her for betraying her trust, but she reminds him that lied to her for two years, as well as telling him that she loved him as a person and not because of his job, and their conversation ends on a "decidedly frosty note".

[31] Later, Jude goes to "desperate measures" and lies that he saved the life of Roy Cropper (David Neilson), which "threatens to derail his marriage to Angie for good".

[33] The actresses admitted that whilst there is chemistry between Adam and Angie and that "sparks fly" when they are together, she believed that "should have a little bit of time to focus on her and George and what's best for them".

[33] However, she hinted that something could happen later down the line, adding "they match quite well and he puts her in her place, which she needs after she's worn the trousers for so long"[33] Ekanoye, who considers herself a "romantic at heart", hoped that Angie and Jude would work things out, but did not believe that was possible.

[35] "Angie was never the one really sold on moving to Manchester but managed to get her head around rebuilding her life so that Jude and George could be close to Mary.

[37] This followed Wallace's exit as Jude, which involved Mary tracking him down and discovering that he is "back to his old tricks" and lying about his name and profession to his new girlfriend.

[7] Speaking of the exit, Duncan Lindsay from Metro revealed that with Jude's "true colours" having come out, "there is little keeping Angie in Weatherfield" and she decides to leave.

[36] Angie then leaves with George in a black cab for her "new life" in South Africa, waving "goodbye to Mary and Weatherfield one last time".

After Angie tells Jude her feelings, they plan to move back to South Africa but miss their flight when they have to rush George to hospital.

They attend counselling sessions and attempt to stay together for George's sake, but Angie later tells Jude that the relationship is no longer working and that they are over.

Angie then feels humiliated when she is surprised with a vow renewal by Mary the next day and, upon learning that Jude was involved with planning it, publicly announces their split.

[40] Fitzpatrick also called the kiss between Angie and Adam "steamy" and a "Shock", and noted how fans on Twitter wanted the pair to be together and were "shipping" them.

[36] A writer from Female First noted how fans were disappointed by Angie's departure due to the character leaving "under the radar in the middle of an episode", which resulted in "somewhat of a supporter backlash".
