Still grieving with the heartbreaking scenes during Super Soap Week, the young Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) still hasn’t uttered a single word after the soap’s villain Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) killed his mom, Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac).
Last Friday’s episode (November 19), Sam’s face lit up to stargaze. However, he lost interest the moment he knew that Max Turner (Paddy Bever) and Lily Platt (Brooke Malonie) would join him with the astronomical activity.
As Lily acted naughty during the scene, she locked Sam outside of the balcony. The young girl was eating a lollipop but suddenly she pulled the stick out leaving the candy stuck in her throat. Sam was staring at Lily when the latter turned blue and lost her breath as the candy was choking her.

Despite the incident, Sam still could not say a word but Roy Cropper (David Neilson) and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) were warned by what happened when the telescope crashed down to the ground.

The two immediately ran to the apartment and helped Lily to spit the candy. Disturbed by Sam’s reaction, George explained to Roy what the young boy has been going through since Natasha’s death.
Later that day, when they knew about the unfortunate circumstance, Nick (Ben Price) and Leanne (Jane Danson) were shocked about young Sam’s quietness amidst Lily’s near-death experience.
Earlier this month, Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley on the soap shared how great was his on-screen son, Jude Riordan in portraying his role as Sam Blakeman.
“He’s brilliant. I said to him, ‘Look, you are keeping me in the job.’ He is fantastic and what is great is that he has his own mind and he knows what he wants to do,” Price told Digital Spy.
“I am only interested in approaching working with him as an actor and equal. When we go to do the scenes, we don’t over-talk it. He is very natural and instinctive,” he added.
