The pair allegedly also stole £20 from Ms Gaye during the attack, it is said.
They appeared at Guildford Crown Court today charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and theft.
Briggs and Beach denied the charges with a trial date set for October 16 next year.
The mum and daughter were bailed on the condition they do not enter Surrey except to attend court, probation service appointments and to visit hospital.
Johnny joined Coronation Street in 1976 and went on to appear in 2,349 episodes before he left the show in 2006.
He played womanising factory boss Mike Baldwin in the soap for 30 years — died aged 85 in February.
He left his UK fortune and US assets, including a house in Florida, to five of his six children.
But he left Karen out of the will after he disowned her when she allegedly gave her own daughter, aged just 14, Class A drugs.
Speaking about her dad’s choice, she told HOAR: “He told me in 2018 that he wanted to give me some money but said, ‘If you put it up your nose or in your arm, how can I live with myself?
“But when I’m dead it won’t matter.’
“That’s when I last saw him, but we spoke on the phone regularly.”
The pair will stand trial next year
