Angela Harris Angela Harris ( previously Nelson , née Appleyard ) was portrayed by Kathryn Hunt , and made her first appearance on 13th November , 2002 . Biography . Angela and her husband Tommy , along with their children Katy and Craig first appeared on Coronation Street , having rented No . 6 and using the surname " Nelson " . They originally came from Sheffield , where Angela worked in a pub . She witnessed a murder and gave evidence against the accused . The family of the accused took their revenge with threats and eventually tried to burn their house . The Harrises were taken under the Witness Protection program , given a new identity as the Nelson family and moved to Weatherfield . Angela got a job in Underworld but it didn ' t go well . Her husband Tommy was under suspicion of stealing a wallet at Coronation Street Garage where he found work , and the women in the factory turned against Angela too . Only Hayley Cropper made friends with Angela who eventually found out , but kept the family ' s secret . In April 2003 , Katy slipped away to see her mates in Sheffield and was followed by the brothers of the man who was jailed on Angela ' s evidence . There was a showdown and Tommy was shot in the process . The culprits were found and the family ' s secret was out . Angela was determined that she wouldn ' t put her family through any more hiding and secrecy . The Harrises took their own name back and the residents came round to being more neighbourly again . Near the end of 2003 , Tommy and Angela split up . Katy took up with Martin Platt and though disapproving , Angela could not bear to be estranged from her daughter . She and Tommy fell out over the situation and split up for a while . They made up but it was an uneasy peace . In 2005 , Angela discovered that Katy was pregnant . Not thrilled , she nonetheless supported her daughter . Tommy thought Martin was having an affair with Sally Webster ( who was actually having an affair with Ian Davenport ) and because circumstantial evidence seemed to support it , Angela believed it and took Katy in when she came running home . She also supported and encouraged Katy ' s decision to have an abortion , but was mortified to find out Martin really was faithful and Katy had had the abortion for nothing . Shortly after , Katy and Tommy rowed furiously in the garage and Katy struck and killed her father . Angela was horrified , but she decided to try to cover it up and make it look like a robbery . Later she herself confessed to the murder and was remanded at Redford Prison . Even though Katy herself confessed before committing suicide , Angela was still guilty of perverting the course of justice and has remained in prison . Her father , Keith Appleyard , came to Weatherfield to stay with Craig in the house . Angela was due to be released from prison in 2009 .
