Candice Stowe is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Coronation Street, played by Nikki Sanderson. She was introduced as the best friend of Sarah-Louise Platt (Tina O'Brien). She made her first appearance during the episode airing on 5 November 1999 and final appearance during the episode airing on 7 November 2005.
Candice first appeared as Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien)'s best friend from school. Candice was one of the first people Sarah told of her pregnancy. While many of Sarah's friends turned against her, Candice stuck by her throughout the pregnancy and birth of her daughter Bethany.
Her mother did not approve of Sarah when she became pregnant and called her a bad influence on her daughter, but it was later revealed that Candice was the bad influence on Sarah. Candice and her mother's relationship broke down when Candice's mother would not believe that she was being sexually harassed by her mother's boyfriend. Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) soon took pity on her and she moved into the salon flat. Candice then went on to work as a trainee hairdresser in Audrey's salon.
Candice dated Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley), but he broke up with her after discovering that she had slept with Jason (Ryan Thomas), his older half brother. When promising footballer Warren Baldwin (Danny Young) arrived in Weatherfield she dreamed of fame and soon got together with him. But he later ended their relationship when he left to play for a Spanish team. Candice also dated Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), but later dumped him via text message as she left the street when Status Quo offered her a job as a stylist.
