Tram to put an end to the Rovers!?

[Scarlett.]

Corrie star Michelle Keegan *is to burst back on to the cobbles – as the sexiest barmaid ever to work at the Rovers *Return.

The 19-year-old plays man-eater Tina McIntyre – who will pull pints after not being seen on screen for months.

A Coronation Street insider said *yesterday: “Show bosses see Michelle as the new Bet Lynch and think she’s got a huge *future ahead of her.

“She is young, gorgeous, a great actress and *hugely popular with viewers. They think she’ll be the sexiest barmaid in the history of the Rovers.”

One of the regulars Tina will serve pints to is David Platt – played by Thomas *Ormson. Platt is Tina’s former boyfriend who got her pregnant so she had an abortion, and he still loves her.

She will also be seen flirting with Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas, 27, who she was engaged to before dumping him. Tina’s flirting with her former-flames leads to a string of bust-ups with current boyfriend, *Corrie butcher Graeme Proctor, played by Craig Gazey, 28.

And in a sensational *storyline at the end of the year, Tina will be seen rescuing drinkers when the roof of the Rovers caves in after a tram crashes into the Kabin and the Corner Shop.

Those inside the Rovers are trapped and Tina will be among a number of heroes who come to the rescue in some of the most dramatic scenes ever shown on Corrie – being screened for the show’s 50th anniversary.

Meanwhile, Corrie bosses were forced to stop filming for a day last Tuesday after a leaky roof flooded the set.

Soaps always copy each other. The tram crash is old news.

[Scarlett.]

Soaps always copy each other. The tram crash is old news.

Old news? It happens in two months...so...it's not old, and who else has done a tram crash?

[Smithy]

So if this is to be believed....the whole of Coronation Street could be left in ruins! :eek:

[Smithy]

:O

Its gunna be a massacre

[Scarlett.]

Indeed, if this is true of course, it could be a fake spoiler ;)

[Smithy]

Nah, we haven't really had any fake spoilers so far

[Omen]

It's old news in that I read about it ages ago.

[\PJ/]

[Smithy]

It's old news in that I read about it ages ago.

[Omen]

There must be a new trend in pub designs now the soaps are burning and smashing up their old ones. This is old news. You mean you didn't already know this?

[Smithy]

It was never previously confirmed the Rovers would be in anyway effected, seeing as it's on the other end of the street compared to where the tram is crashing

[Scarlett.]

Nah, we haven't really had any fake spoilers so far

Natasha's suicide? Tina's rape? Both not true :p

[Smithy]

Natasha's suicide? Tina's rape? Both not true :p

Well natasha does try to commit suicide, and we still don't know if she does it in the end.

And Tina's rape was only reported by one paper XP

[Jords]

Old news? It happens in two months...so...it's not old, and who else has done a tram crash?

I think he meant like the Queen Vic's fire.

[Scarlett.]

Well natasha does try to commit suicide, and we still don't know if she does it in the end.

True, though it does seem to be a bit of a jump from the far end of the street to the Rovers end

[Omen]

Old news? It happens in two months...so...it's not old, and who else has done a tram crash?

Coronation Street, on that bridge, years ago except it was a steam train.

[Scarlett.]

I think he meant like the Queen Vic's fire.

Well to be fair if this did happen, it'd be kind of different as it would affect a row of houses and not just a pub :p

[Smithy]

True, though it does seem to be a bit of a jump from the far end of the street to the Rovers end

Not if like half a carriage flips in the air an lands on the roof :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

Coronation Street, on that bridge, years ago except it was a steam train.

43 years ago, it's already been said the tram crash is a homage to that one, which pushed the boundaries of TV back then

[Scarlett.]

Not if like half a carriage flips in the air an lands on the roof :shocked:

Nah, that'd just look stupid xD

[Omen]

I think he meant like the Queen Vic's fire.

I did. They're always copying one antoher.

[Smithy]

Nah, that'd just look stupid xD

It was a joke :P

[Smithy]

43 years ago, it's already been said the tram crash is a homage to that one, which pushed the boundaries of TV back then

I saw that

mm yea the boundaries were really tight back then werent they :laugh2:

[Jords]

Well to be fair if this did happen, it'd be kind of different as it would affect a row of houses and not just a pub :p

Oh yeah definitely, blows a pub fire out the water but just the idea of destroying the pub (main feature of the soap).

Really excited for it to happen! :D
And at least there will be some deaths too, lmao.

[Scarlett.]

I did. They're always copying one antoher.

but like I said, it'd affect a row of houses, a bar, a shop and a post office, different from EE in many ways :p

BUT, I don't think this spoiler is true, it seems far fetched, not to mention they said Thomas Ormson plays David Platt, when Jack P. Shepherd does

[Smithy]

Oh wait, it's the mirror

They're the ones that reported Tina's rape :bored:

[Scarlett.]

I saw that

mm yea the boundaries were really tight back then werent they :laugh2:

It was filmed in an indoor studio back then :eek:

Oh yeah definitely, blows a pub fire out the water but just the idea of destroying the pub (main feature of the soap).

Really excited for it to happen! :D
And at least there will be some deaths too, lmao.

Aye, though, if were gonna go with that, Corrie was the first to do it in the Rovers fire of 1986 xD

[Scarlett.]

Oh wait, it's the mirror

They're the ones that reported Tina's rape :bored:

Indeed, I can believe her becoming a barmaid, but like I said it sounds far fetched, they couldn't destory the terraced row, it's been there since 1960

[Jords]

Aye, though, if were gonna go with that, Corrie was the first to do it in the Rovers fire of 1986 xD

Yeah exactly. Theres a limited amount of plot lines so ultimately its going to look like the soaps are copying each other. :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Yeah exactly. Theres a limited amount of plot lines so ultimately its going to look like the soaps are copying each other. :laugh:

Aye, and due to my job, I only have time to watch Corrie (on the ITV Player) now, so I don't really care what the other soaps are doing lol

[RichardWells]

God I hope their is no real life tram crash during the week of these special episodes lol.

[Visage]

I did. They're always copying one antoher.

Considering the theme that runs along side our soaps, then yes there will always be similarities.

Just like there will be between Star Wars & Star Trek, or True Blood and Vampire Diaries etc....

[Visage]

It's old news in that I read about it ages ago.

Old news it may be, but because it hasn't happened yet, then it's fun to speculate, it's what keeps some of these threads alive.

Also this maybe old news to you, but to some they might have just read about it.

[Scarlett.]

God I hope their is no real life tram crash during the week of these special episodes lol.

lol I heard a tram going along the end of my street with the horn blaring non stop :shocked:

And I agree, soaps are always going to have similarities

[flamingGalah!]

They have their info mixed up a bit... It's the Joinery bar roof that collapses, not the Rovers... The Rover's wont be affected at all...
