Chesney Winter-Brown (also Brown and Battersby-Brown) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Sam Aston.

Chesney is the younger brother of Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) and son of Cilla Battersby-Brown (Wendi Peters).

Chesney later began a relationship with Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) in 2013 and was stabbed with a glass bottle during an incident at Nick's Bistro in 2017.

Chesney is the younger brother of Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) and son of Cilla Battersby-Brown (Wendi Peters).

The Battersby-Browns take Chesney to hospital, with Cilla prompting her son to complain of fake symptoms so that he will be diagnosed with concussion.

Rita puts the Kabin on the market and prepares to leave the area, but Les talks Cilla out of any further action.

Later that year, Cilla starts to abuse Chesney, such as threatening to hit him if he tells Les about her affairs and also running away with him as she taunts him that no-one loves him.

That August, Schmeichel is run over by a bus driven by Claire Peacock (Julia Haworth), leaving Chesney devastated, but the dog survives.

In 2006, Chesney is saddened at the news that his mum has cancer, but refuses to go on a holiday with her when he finds out she has lied about the seriousness of her condition.

In March 2008, Chesney learns that Les isn't returning, and he is taken to a foster home because Kirk cannot take care of him properly.

Chesney is allowed to return home after Fiz agrees to move into Number 5, though with much reluctance, as Kirk, now her ex-boyfriend, is still living there.

Later, Chesney is horrified to find out that Fiz has been consulting John Stape about his education, and regularly visiting him in prison.

On 23 December 2011, Chesney finds out from his Fiz that Katy has gone into labour at the nativity play, so Anna Windass has to deliver the baby.

Chesney was stranded in the middle of nowhere with Gary Windass (Mikey North) after they had cut down some Christmas trees to be delivered.

When Beth attacks a man who was trying to mug her friend from bingo, she receives a £5,000 reward, and takes the family to Mexico for two weeks.

In 2015, Chesney discovers Sinead has been in a minibus crash with several other residents, including Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), who was responsible for the accident.

In 2017, Katy dies off-screen in a car accident in Portugal, and Chesney flies out there to bring Joseph home to Weatherfield.

In January 2018, Chesney's nerves take the better of him at the altar on his wedding day to Sinead Tinker, and he announces he can't marry her, despite the fact both he and son Joseph love her very much.

Later in the same year, he embarks on relationships with both hairdresser Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell), and Prima Doner colleague Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell).

Sam Aston was chosen to play Chesney after training at a local drama group, Carl Godby's Theatre Workshop.

While his upbringing was not as traumatic as Fiz's early years, Chesney was often left home alone and had to put up with the many "uncles" Cilla brought to their flat.

An increasingly bitter Chesney was left to be taken care of by Fiz, but her relationship problems often overshadowed her duties as guardian.

In July 2010, it was announced that Chesney would have sex with newcomer Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote) in a storyline involving the 17-year-old losing his virginity.

Katy (Georgia May Foote) will make the suggestion of starting a family to Chesney in the weeks ahead - leaving him shocked as he believes they are too young for parenthood.

However, after Katy continues to push the idea, Chesney (Sam Aston) is expected to change his mind and begin looking for a flat that he can rent with his girlfriend.

"[6] In response to complaints about Schmeichel's fate, a Coronation Street spokesperson told The Mirror: "Great Danes do not live forever and the storyline has been decided upon.

A statement on the soap's official website teased: "As Katy struggles to resist the temptation of smooth talking Ryan, Chesney faces a heartbreaking few months.

In 2007, he was nominated for Best Young Actor,[15] though Eden Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle Dingle from Emmerdale, won the award.
