They had a son , Warren , and she also became close to stepson Jamie when she married Danny . He cheated on her numerous times , but she continued to forgive him until he cheated on her with Jamie ' s girlfriend Leanne Battersby . Character ' s background . Upon arriving in Weatherfield , Frankie appeared stuck - up and prissy , eager for Danny to sell the house they shared in Essex so they could move into somewhere more suitable . Frankie exploded when she discovered Danny had slept with Sunita Parekh , and declared war on her . This perhaps is what drew her to Sunita ' s nemesis Maya Sharma . However , after learning of Maya ' s true nature , she apologised to Sunita and forgave her . After a while , Frankie began to settle into the Street - especially after striking up a bond with Vera Duckworth . When Vera was ill , Frankie took care of her by doing her chores for her , filling in her job for her and advised her husband Jack to be more sensitive and attentive to Vera ' s needs . This led to Frankie securing a permanent position at Roy ' s Rolls , where she worked with Leanne . Frankie saw Leanne as being beneath Jamie , and became suspicious of her cheating on him . Frankie discovered Leanne ' s affair with her husband Danny when Leanne lost her phone . The pair had arranged to meet at a hotel in Manchester but Leanne cancelled at the last minute . Annoyed , Danny rang her phone and spoke of all the things he wanted to do to Leanne - unaware that Frankie was on the other end of the line . Frankie threw Danny out and from then on she lived with Jamie , and his biological mother Carol , but after Carol accused Frankie and Jamie of sleeping with each other , Frankie kicked Carol out , and Carol returned to her home in Birmingham . Danny , regretting losing her and scared at the thought of spending the rest of his life with Leanne , begged Frankie to take him back . Frankie remained strong and moved boyfriend Nathan Cooper into No . 7 just days before the divorce went ahead . She celebrated her divorce by jetting off alone for a holiday in her newly acquired villa in Spain . In October 2006 , Frankie ' s former stepson Jamie declared his love for her at Fred Elliott ' s funeral and they kissed but the revelation shocked her and drove her back into the arms of ex - husband Danny . However she couldn ' t resist Jamie ' s advances and they embarked on a relationship , much to the disgust of the other residents of the Street . The news also led to Danny ' s disappearance . Frankie and Jamie decided to head to Spain to start afresh , but at the last minute on New Year ' s Eve , Frankie got cold feet . She ended it with a devastated Jamie , and left to stay with a friend in Essex . As she departed in a taxi , Jamie was consoled by friend Sean Tully . However the misery wasn ' t over - at midnight Jamie received a call from father , Danny , telling him that he had sold Mike ' s flat and he was " sorry " to hear about his break up with Frankie . In October 2009 , Roy and Hayley Cropper were invited to Romania to attend Frankie ' s wedding to footballer Dean Fraser , however due to an electrical storm their plane was late arriving and therefore missed the ceremony . The Croppers house - sat for a week while the newly - weds went on their honeymoon . Quotes . " Now that ' s what I call a welcome . Not your usual class of gaff Danny . . . nice wine though !
