He was followed by the birth of Callum Logan and Sarah Platt's son, Harry, as well as Michelle Connor's childhood lover, Will Chatterton. Pablo Duarte made his first appearance in April.

Marta Zarek, played by Edyta Budnik, made her first screen appearance on 5 February 2016. The character and casting was announced on 29 January 2016. Marta will be being introduced as part of a modern slavery storyline.Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) finds Marta hiding at the Underworld factory on Coronation Street and Marta tells her that she has been forced into slavery by Richie (James Midgley) and Julia O'Driscoll (Malgorzata Klara), Underworld's new clients. She also explains that she cannot escape as she is worried about her family's safety back in Poland. Mark Jefferies of the Daily Mirror reported that producers consulted experts to ensure the storyline would be accurate. A spokesperson commented, "Obviously, Coronation Street tries to tackle difficult subjects and has done storylines about serious illnesses and violence before. But this is the first time slavery has appeared."
