Melissa Johns – the star who made audiences remember her forever as Imogen Pascoe – has just made the Coronation Street fan community explode with emotions when announcing that she has given birth to her first daughter.

On her personal Instagram, Melissa shared a photo taken in the hospital with a brief status: “Welcome to this world, my little miracle.”
The photo captured a simple but emotional moment: Melissa held the newborn baby close to her chest, a smile mixed with tears of happiness.

In the comment section, Coronation Street actors such as Sally Dynevor, Tina O’Brien, and Jack P. Shepherd all sent their congratulations.

Behind that happy moment is a journey of determination. Melissa – who is partially disabled in her arm – once shared about her worries during pregnancy and the social prejudice she faced. She said: “I used to be afraid that I wouldn’t be able to be a mother, but now I know that all the limits are only in my head.”
Audiences love Imogen Pascoe not only for her strong personality but also because she represents women who dare to live their truth. And now, when Melissa in real life welcomes her first child, that image seems to spread the message that: love and determination can overcome all challenges.

The online community also predicts: this could be a sign that Melissa will soon return to the screen in the future – this time, with the image of a mother who is both experienced and inspirational.
