Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

Just a quick question about Norris's new shop assistant (the one who looks like she should be working in the mogue). Was she in Corrie before playing a cleaner (I think) in the Rovers - and the character dropped dead behind the bar. Then in the following episode the same actress played the character's sister. She looks very like her?

She has been in Corrie before playing some minor roles; Shirley Preston amongst a few others. i think its her anyway. The part of Joan is played by Maggie Tagney, the one you are thinking of, Edna Miller, was played by Joan Kempson. They do look alike though.

Shirley Preston, was she the blonde character that was raped by Alan Bradley. I know the actress he raped also appeared in The Bill, often seen working in an office seen digging up files and info on certain people.

No, Shirley was Tracy luv's mother in law. The woman he tried to rape was Dawn Prescott, who later went off with Mike Baldwin

Is this the return to the cobbles for Michael Vernon Baldwin.

According to the Daily Star, Johnny Briggs thinks he could make a Dallas-style comeback like Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) who emerged from the shower a year after he was apparently killed.
Asked if he could possibly go back to Corrie, Johnny told the newspaper: "Why not - I think it could work.

Pure ridiculous. I know it's their 50th anniversary soon, but this would be a bit much

Maybe Emily might be the one that will wake up and find him. Bit of a contrast to Pam.

I don't think so... she was never a major character.

Think she was meant to be a Raquel type glamourous empty head but she's not as likeable imo.

Julie Carp attacks her half-sister Eileen *Grimshaw after discovering she’s behind her sacking.
#bodycopy a { font-size: 12px; }
As our dramatic picture shows, the warring sisters grab at each other’s hair like two schoolgirls.


The fight erupts after Eileen discovers Julie has been plotting with dozy *boyfriend Jesse Chadwick behind her back.


Annoyed by their deceit she tells the children’s entertainer to give Julie the sack or else he’s dumped.


Jesse does exactly what is asked of him and tells Julie they can no longer work together.


He refuses to admit the truth behind her sacking but it doesn’t take long for the dippy blonde to get to the bottom of it all.
And as soon as she does she confronts Eileen with the truth.


A Corrie insider said: “When Eileen first found out Julie was working as Jesse’s *assistant she did not like it one bit. So the pair decided to go behind her back and continue working together.


“But when Eileen accuses Jesse of *having an affair, he’s forced to come clean and tell her the truth about Julie.


“She gives him the ultimatum and there’s no way he’s going to risk his *relationship to carry on working with *Julie.


“But when Julie finds out what Eileen has done she’s furious. She can’t *understand why she wouldn’t trust her with her man.


“Things get so heated she lashes out. They end up pulling at each other’s hair in the living room.


“It’s all very *childish but neither will back down.


“It’ll take some doing for them to make up after this. They’ve never had the best of relationships and this just adds to their problems.”


The fight is on November 16 on ITV1.

She is not fit to tie Raquels shoe laces. Raquel while she was a feather head, she was liked.

Here's the story line around Kelly's departure.

She falls madly in love with Dev, and also with his uncle. Unable to decide, she elopes with the pair of them.

This is not a spoiler, just my wildest dream.

No need. They'd be automatically strangled at birth.

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that romance could be on the cards for her character Michelle Connor and Weatherfield returnee Ciaran McCarthy.

The actress told The Mirror that the womanising Irishman, played by Keith Duffy, will be seen taking a shine to Michelle when he arrives back on the cobbles in February.

"I haven't met Keith yet, but I've heard that Michelle catches Ciaran's eye, so there could be something developing there."

ughhh does she have to get up on every single bloody man in the street, really hate her character, shes so judgmental yet shes a complete slapper herself. Delighted Steve left her for Beckie also delighted she didnt get her claws into Peter Barlow, was hoping the spoiler might be shes leaving.
