Chesney Battersby-Brown (né Brown) is a character in the British television soap opera Coronation Street. He is played by Sam Aston.
Chesney was created by Chris Parker, a member of the Coronation Street writing team from 2002 to 2005. The writer is reported to have named him after Chesney Hawkes, the one-hit-wonder pop star whose fame peaked at the time of the fictional character's birth.[citation needed]
[edit] Storylines
Chesney first appeared in Coronation Street in 2003. Les Battersby-Brown took him in.
In 2004 his mother, Cilla Battersby-Brown, used Chesney as a decoy in a scam to sue Rita Sullivan for actual bodily harm in a bid to get money off her. Rita was prosecuted and jailed briefly, but the compensation money was relatively small, much to Cilla's fury.
Chesney attempted to run away after his mum left without him but Les took him back in. He was given a pure breed Great Dane dog, Schmeichel, named after Danish footballer Peter Schmeichel, by Maya Sharma. He also made friends with Sophie Webster.
In 2005, he conned several residents at Easter into giving him chocolate eggs. That August, Schmeichel was run over by a bus driven by Claire Peacock, leaving Chesney devastated, but his companion pulled through. He walked in on Sally Webster whilst she was in the shower. Chesney seeks revenge on Les, after Les tells everyone about him seeing Sally in the shower, which threatened his friendship with Sophie. Nevertheless, Chesney and Sophie are still close friends.
In September 2006, Fiz and Kirk bought Chesney a second-hand computer and Roy Cropper taught him all about internet auctioning. Typically, Cilla took over, selling anything and everything just to get some easy money.
Chesney has been put in care many times, but Social Services have been involved when Les adopted Chesney in 2006, and on 10 March 2008 when they took Chesney to a foster home as Kirk Sutherland could not take care of him properly. Claire later revealed she reported them to the Social Services, in Chesney's best interests.
Chesney was later allowed to return home after Fiz agreed to move into Number 5.
Chesney is set for romance with Kayleigh Morton.
