John Thomson has signed up to join the Coronation Street cast as a down-on-his-luck kids' entertainer, Jessie.

Playing for laughs in a "hilarious" role, the 39-year-old - also starring as a regular character in the new series of ITV1 drama Kingdom - will join the Rovers Return regulars in October to film three episodes.

The episodes will be shown on ITV1 towards the end of the year, and Corrie producers hope that Salford-born comic Thomson will be tempted to return to the Street for a longer stint with the ITV1 soap in 2009.

A Street spokesperson said: "We are delighted that John is joining the show. John is a fantastic comedy actor and is perfect for the part of Jessie."

Thomson has also featured in the ITV comedy drama Cold Feet and The Fast Show and follows in the footsteps of other comedians appearing in the Weatherfield soap, including Peter Kay.

Jerry (Michael Starke) is less than impressed that Teresa (Karen Henthorne) has managed to weedle her way back into the house through the kids, and when he finds her baking cakes he immediately thinks the worst and tries to throw her out. Mel (Emma Edmondson) is devastated when she arrives home to hear Jerry lambasting Teresa for trying to kill him. Incredulous, Mel goes straight into police officer mode and arrests her mum for attempted murder.

Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) feels awkward about the fact that she is back with John (Graeme Hawley) and asks Julie (Katy Cavanagh) to keep it a secret from their workmates. Julie agrees but Fiz had not banked on John telling the world about them getting back together and turning up at work armed with a large bouquet of flowers. How will her friends react to the news?

Becky (Katherine Kelly) is desperate for her and Jason (Ryan Thomas) to get a place of their own but he's not the sharpest tool in Bill's (Peter Armitage) box and doesn't notice that she is dropping heavy hints.

Meanwhile Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) is worried when he gets a mysterious invitation to Prem's house for dinner. Could it be that Prem (Madhav Sharma) has found out about him and Nina (Harvey Virdi)?

Harry (Jack Ellis) is already bored with Clarissa (Alexandra Boyd) and wastes no time in heading over to the Rovers for a quick drink. Hiding in the back yard he convinces Liz (Beverly Callard) to serve him but she points out that if he is going to make this a regular thing he will need to get a spy to watch out for the missus.

How will she react to this latest development?

Tom (Philip McGinley) tells Liam (Rob James Collier) that they are launching their new range in New York and that they should go over for the fashion show. Maria is having none of it and puts a stop to Liam going anywhere - much to Carla's (Alison King) amusement!

[Scarlett.]

CORRIE bosses are kitting out the Rovers Return with STUNT PROPS for the pub’s most violent scenes yet.

Parts of the bar will be replaced with collapsible replicas to prepare for Becky Grainger (Katherine Kelly) acting like a true woman scorned.

She launches a frenzied attack on lover Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) after he jilts her.

Jason decides to make a desperate dash to Italy to rekindle his relationship with estranged wife Sarah (Tina O’Brien).

Attacked ... Jason Grimshaw

Attacked ... Jason Grimshaw

But when Becky finds out, she turns from smitten kitten to horrific hellcat.

She sinks snakebites — a potent lager and cider mix — to drown her sorrows.

And when Jason pops into the pub to say goodbye, Becky explodes and grabs him by the throat.

TV Biz has learned that the scenes are so savage that half the set has been replaced with props and stunt mats have been sewn into the Rovers’ furniture.

A springboard has even been fitted behind the bar to help propel a seething Becky on to Jason.

An insider said: “Bar fittings will all be replaced with breakaway look-a-likes.

Advertisement

“Any sharp edges or hard surfaces around the fight area are to be padded or removed.”

What’s more, bosses have even booked a nurse and a top stunt co-ordinator to make sure the spectacular scenes are as near the knuckle as possible.

Our soap source added: “We don’t want anyone getting hurt but we do want the scenes to be eye-poppingly realistic. It’s all going to look like a movie sequence.”

Jason isn’t the only one to suffer. Kevin Webster and Janice Battersby also cop a load of abuse at the hands of the boozed-up barmaid.

Looks like bad Becky’s well and truly back . . .

[BigSister]

Probably yeah ^_^

[Scarlett.]

I think they will probably do an hour long episode
Probs Mad Maya style (like the episode will be set in one hour or something)

[BigSister]

oh yeah and set in one day as well

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, the Kasia's death episodes did that too, I love it when they focus it in real time

The might do it in 2 half hour episodes and set it in 2 hours or somthing though

[BigSister]

*nods* yeah could do that as well

[Scarlett.]

Cant wait to see the trailers for it :dance::dance::dance::dance:

[Scarlett.]

[stacey]

*recovers from my heart attack* :whistle:

[Scarlett.]

D: D:


Rosie and Teh Stape :shocked:

[No.1RachelFan!]

I just saw on digital spy that Aunty Pam's leaving after the wedding! This isn't true is it? :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

Not sure, I hope not!

If she is, I will send an email to ITV

[BigSister]

awwww i hope not i like her

[No.1RachelFan!]

Yeah I read that they were only bringing her in untill the wedding to give Molly some routes and to give her more depth. They might be intending on only keeping her untill the wedding but they might end up signing her up long term. She's settled into the Street like a hand to a glove. :bigsmile:

[Scarlett.]

Yeah
They originally brought in Tina as an extra, but kept her full time, and even gave her a family

[No.1RachelFan!]

"..the answer to all your prayers. This is no ordinary fish, this is a novelty singing fish." Just seen that on catch up now, gotta love Aunty Pam! :laugh3:

[Scarlett.]

Lol, I used to have one of them singing fish :laugh3:

[No.1RachelFan!]

And it was singing in Japanese!!!! :elephant: She's hilarious!

[Scarlett.]

Lol I know :laugh:

Best character in ages!
Tina, Julie, and Auntie Pam
How many more awesome characters are we gonna get :dance2:

[BigSister]

oh yeah juile makes me laugh as well hehe

[No.1RachelFan!]

They're all great! :D

I'm just watching last Wednesday's episode now on catch up. Ugh, are we actually supposed to feel sorry for Sean or what? He's just a jealous child. He's a completely one-sided character with no depth! Why can't they get rid of him??? :mad:

[Scarlett.]

I know, I used to like him (like with the storyline about his dad) but he doesnt work no more really

[No.1RachelFan!]

But he's one of those untouchable characters like Michelle and Ryan. :rolleyes: He's going nowhere!

When is this wedding do you know?

[No.1RachelFan!]

Also when's Hayley coming back?

[Scarlett.]

No idea on the wedding
Hayley is back around the later part of this month
Michelle is overused too

[No.1RachelFan!]

Yes, Michelle IS overused and that child swap storyline was dire!!!

I noticed that they did start to overuse Becki a bit but now they've got this new producer, that didn't get too far, thankfully! I love Becki, she's so overprotective of Roy, like last Wednesday with that other woman and her child. There's such a funny repartee between them. Corrie's good at that, another classic example is Rita and Norris.

[BigSister]

yeah when is the weding.....

[Scarlett.]

I wonder who that woman was that insulted Roy, I thought we'd be seeing more of her :S

No idea on the Wedding, maybe Christmas?

[No.1RachelFan!]

Yeah there'll probably more to do with her at some point. Just like the whole thing with Norris and Emily's envelope, something fishy's going on there!

[Scarlett.]

I thought she'd be one of the gang attacking Mel and Abi, but none of the where preggers

[No.1RachelFan!]

We shall have to wait and see then. :D

I've recently taken to watching it on the ITV site and since I missed tonight's episodes, I shall have to indulge on catchup tomorrow, I'm not waiting for the omnibus yet again!

[Scarlett.]

Lol :P

I find the site too slow xP

[No.1RachelFan!]

Yeah, I used to find that, but I've recently got a new laptop and it's mega fast, so that isn't a problem anymore. :D

Has Doreen been clumsily written out or what? She's vanished!

[Scarlett.]

Lol, I have no idea, she seems to have just gone xD

Glad they did the same with the child swap story too

[No.1RachelFan!]

It just went on and on and on...it was grim.

They seem to be trying to make something of Ken atm don't they? Know anything interesting happening with him?

[BigSister]

apart from dealing drugs lol nope not really

[No.1RachelFan!]

Lol yeah now that was funny!

[Scarlett.]

I think he will be used quite a bit in the Cafe from now on

[No.1RachelFan!]

They're a funny threesome, Bex, Royston and Ken! Corrie have done a stupendous job there. :bouncy:

[Scarlett.]

Yesh!
I wonder how Hayley will fit in with them?

[No.1RachelFan!]

It may be a bit awkward or she may even out the numbers a bit. :P

[Scarlett.]

Yeah :laugh:
Although she is supposed to be a lot different on her return

[No.1RachelFan!]

Yeah, it would be completely unrealistic if she was exactly the same, with her same old red mac and straight hair (the wig that Ryan's been wearing while she's been gone). I wonder if they'll change her physically. She'll at least need to be more open minded.

[Scarlett.]

Hmm, they might change her hair

[BigSister]

yeah she might not have a wig this time

[Scarlett.]

Yeah lol, although I think she wears a wig to seperate her from Hayley

[No.1RachelFan!]

Be back tomorrow after having watched tonight's episodes on catchup. See you, I'm going to get some sleep now. :sleep:

[Scarlett.]

Okie dokey!
See ya tomoz :cheer:

[Scarlett.]

Clarissa (Alexandra Boyd) is growing increasingly suspicious of Liz (Beverly Callard) and Harry (Jack Ellis), and when she spots them getting cosy outside the Rovers she vows to catch them out. A bit of detective work using Harry's mobile soon proves to her what she thought and she feigns illness to get out of a date with Harry that evening. Meanwhile Liz finds some tickets for a charity ball in Harry's jacket, assumes he is taking her and heads off on a shopping trip. But when Clarissa announces to Harry that she has recovered and is now going to the ball he has to think on his feet - how willl he get out of this one?

Rosie (Helen Flanagan) is still furious with her mum and dad for not believing her story that John Stape (Graeme Hawley) kidnapped her, and with finances tight in the Webster household she has a go at Kevin (Michael Le Vell) for not selling his business to Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien). Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) meanwhile is struggling to cope with John constantly being around, and her friends urge her to try and move on.

Lloyd (Craig Charles) tells Becky (Katherine Kelly) that Vernon (Ian Reddington) has sold one of his songs and is off to London but Vernon is miserable. After catching Liz and Harry together he has lost his enthusiasm for the trip. Lloyd (Craig Charles) urges him to give her up but Vernon is determined to give her one more chance to choose.

Janice (Vicky Entwistle) and Leanne (Jane Danson) have decided to keep the lottery win to themselves and split the money. They plan to open a false bank account in Rosie's name, as she was in charge of the lottery, and use the flat above the kebab shop as the address. Armed with details of an old pal of Les's who does fake IDs, Janice sets the ball rolling.

This episode is written by Julie Jones, produced by Kim Crowther and directed by Jerry Smith.


*** PI for the rest of the week follows ***


Monday 22 September 8.30 - 9pm

Harry (Jack Ellis) is still squirming at Clarissa's (Alexandra Boyd) announcement that she is well enough to go to the do after all, and she is highly amused by her anxious husband who is trying everything he can to shake her off for a while. Liz (Beverly Callard) meanwhile is oblivious to Harry's dilemma and is spending a fortune getting ready for their date. Unable to get to Liz to tell her she can't go with him to the ball Harry is forced to walk into the pub with Clarissa on his arm. Dressed to the nines a stunned Liz can only watch open mouthed. Meanwhile Vernon has left a heartfelt note for Liz - with Harry dropping her like a hot potato does Vernon stand a chance?

Tony (Gray O'Brien) is not happy when Carla (Alison King) refuses to go to the Fashion Awards with him so he hatches a plan to wind her up and asks Rosie (Helen Flanagan) instead. Sally (Sally Whittaker) is not happy that Tony has given Rosie money to buy clothes for the event - but Rosie is delighted.

Meanwhile Kevin (Michael Le Vell) feels bad about letting Tyrone (Alan Halsall) down and offers him a share of the business. Pam (Kate Anthony) is baffled that Kevin doesn't want any money but Tyrone insists that Kevin is just looking for loyalty.

Janice (Vicky Entwistle) reveals her new identities to Leanne (Jane Danson) - tomorrow she will be opening a bank account as Miss Rosie Webster.

This episode is written by Debbie Oates, produced by Kim Crowther and directed by Jerry Smith.


Wednesday 24 September 7.30 - 8pm

Rosie (Helen Flanagan) is looking forward to her evening at the fashion awards with Tony (Gray O'Brien) and winds Kevin (Michael Le Vell) up talking about the sexy clothes she is going to be wearing that evening. Later she arrives at the Rovers dressed to the nines but she is left feeling humiliated when Tony arrives with Carla (Alison King) on his arm - she has decided to go with him to the awards after all!

What Tony doesn't know is that the only reason Carla is available is that she has been let down by Liam (Rob James Collier) who is stuck at home looking after Maria (Samia Smith) who appears to have been struck down with food poisoning. Maria is hopeful that it is actually morning sickness but Liam is not convinced.

Liz (Beverly Callard) tells Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) that Harry (Jack Ellis) has been texting her all morning with lame excuses about the night before. Furious that she ended her marriage with Vernon thinking she might have a chance with Harry, Liz decides it is time to make him suffer.

Kevin is more interested in the new breakdown truck which he hopes will help reverse their fortunes.

Dan (Matthew Crompton) is surprised when Harry (Jack Ellis) turns up at the bookies and announces that Clarissa (Alexandra Boyd) has taken him back on the condition that he never sets foot on Coronation Street again so he is leaving the business in Dan's capable hands.

Steve (Simon Gregson) is looking forward to Michelle's (Kym Marsh) return and tells Lloyd (Craig Charles) that he has got the place ready - even down the clean sheets on the bed. He is determined to be the perfect boyfriend - beyond reproach.

Janice (Vicky Entwistle) and Leanne (Jane Danson) are on tenterhooks waiting to see if the money has gone into their bogus bank account. They can't quite believe what they have done and won't believe they have got away with it until they get their hands on the cash!

Humiliated and embarassed Rosie has one more ace up her sleeve - the mobile phone footage of Carla and Liam. Triumphantly she replays the damning footage to a stunned Tony - but he doesn't react in exactly the way she had anticipated. Has Rosie pushed Weatherfield's most evil man too far this time?

An excited Janice (Vicky Enwtisle) and Leanne (Jane Danson) go online to check their fake bank account and discover that the £25,000 lottery win has finally been paid in. With cash to splash they head for the Rovers but Leanne can't help worrying about whether Janice can keep her mouth shut and stick to the story about their uncle leaving them the cash in his will.

Jerry (Michael Starke) shocks Mel (Emma Edmondson) and Darryl (Johnny Dixon) with the news that he would like them all to move abroad permanently. Mel and Darryl are stunned - they thought he was taking the younger kids away for a holiday. Will they agree to go with him?

Meanwhile Kevin (Michael Le Vell) is feeling more positive after securing the Streetcars account and when he and Sally (Sally Whittaker) discover Sophie (Brooke Vincent) has gained an A* in a school exam they start to realise they should be paying their younger daughter a bit more attention.

BROADCASTER ITV is on the verge of announcing its long-anticipated move out of its Quay Street-base and is set to join the BBC at mediacity.uk in Salford.

The MEN understands that an `agreement in principle' has been reached between ITV chiefs and developers Peel Holdings.

Even though the contract has yet to be signed, an announcement is expected in the next few weeks, sources close to the deal said.

ITV currently occupies a small part of the giant Quay Street site which includes the former Granada Studios Tour attraction.

Last month, ITV confirmed to the MEN. that it was looking at cutting jobs as part of a new drive to reduce costs in the tough advertising market.

But the country's largest commercial broadcaster stressed its ongoing commitment to Manchester. Chief operating officer John Cresswell said: "We're disappointed not to have made an announcement yet, but we're getting close.

"I think we're in the last throes of negotiations with the various parties. I hope to be in Manchester and be talking to our staff there soon."

Mr Grade added: "We are committed to production in Manchester - it is home to Britain's most successful television series."

ITV - which employs 6,000 people with around 1,000 based in Manchester - announced that its annual profits slumped by 28 per cent to £91m last month.

The proposed move begs numerous questions - such as what will happen to the set of Coronation Street which is currently filmed in Quay Street and is the undisputed jewel in ITV's crown.

It is understood that Manchester city council has accepted that ITV will be leaving the city, and has had no contact with the broadcaster's property team for several months.

A spokesman for ITV said: "The situation has not changed in that we are continuing to examine the available options regarding ITV's Manchester base.

"We will announce our plans in due course once we have evaluated all the criteria."

The spokesman said no deal had yet been signed with any party.

CORONATION Street favourite Liam Connor is all set to become a dad — but will be murdered before wife Maria can give him the news.
The tragedy devastates long-suffering hairdresser Maria (Samia Smith), who finally believed she was poised for a happy future with the ex-factory owner.

She tied the knot with Liam (Rob James-Collier) after she first fell pregnant at the start of their romance early last year.

But shortly after the wedding, Maria miscarried while worrying about Liam’s illicit love for sister-in-law Carla (Alison King).

United by grief, the pair decide to give their marriage another chance and try for a baby — but Liam is destined never to know they succeed.

A top soap source said: “Losing the baby made them realise how much they love each other and they’re ready to play happy families and start again.

“So when Maria discovers she’s pregnant, she’s delighted and can’t wait to tell Liam.”

But his ill-fated night of passion with Carla comes back to haunt them. Her vengeful fiancé Tony Gordon (Gray O’Brien) learns about the fling and plots the ultimate cold-blooded revenge.

Our source revealed: “It’s going to be really hard for Maria. Not only is she denied the chance to tell Liam he’s going to be a dad, but she also discovers the extent of Carla and Liam’s love.”

Evil Tony is clearly the one who wants Liam dead.

But fans will be left with a “howdunnit” — wondering exactly how he has managed to kill the hunk.

TEEN temptress Rosie Webster is held hostage by psycho John Stape.



The terrified babe is locked in an attic by her former teacher lover.

Crazy Stape (Graeme Hawley, 33) kidnaps Rosie (Helen Flanagan, 18) to stop her blabbing to Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine, 24) that they have enjoyed another secret romp.

And while Rosie’s frantic parents Kevin and Sally look for her with police, Stape holds her prisoner in his late gran’s house. 

At first, Stape intends to lock her up only until he can explain all to Fiz.

But he realises he could face a stretch in jail for kidnap and refuses to let her go.

Rosie makes a bolt for freedom when Snape opens the attic door to give her food and water.

She pleads: “Please let me go, I’m begging you. I’ll do anything for you and I promise not to tell anyone what you’ve done.”

But Stape knows he cannot trust her and her nightmare goes on.

A Corrie insider said: “It is a harrowing ordeal for Rosie.”

Coronation Street's Norris Cole is apparently set to reveal a secret love of cross-dressing.

The busy-body newsagent - played by 68-year-old Malcolm Hebden - confesses to landlady Emily Bishop about his female alias Noretta, after she discovers his stash of saucy ladies lingerie, according to the Daily Star.

Conservative church-goer Emily - played by 77-year-old Eileen Derbyshire - is shocked when Norris puts his sexy underwear into a bundle of clothes she is taking to the church jumble sale, but the bin liner splits open and she discovers it.

Emily confronts her lodger: "I know your private life is your business, but what you get up to in my spare room is most definitely my business. Be honest - are you a transvestite?"

Norris confesses: "I won the underwear in a competition I entered while I was being Noretta Cole, and where I had to describe what my dream date with Pierce Brosnan would be like.

"We'd eat dozens of fresh oysters in a posh restaurant, spend the night flamenco dancing and then take a midnight hot air ride up the M60 orbital."

Coronation Street bosses apparently wrote the storyline to put some comedy into the run up to Christmas.
A source said: "It's one of the funniest plots ever."





I wonder what Blanche will say?

[BigSister]

ROFL. I wonder what Blanche will say

[Scarlett.]

Cant wait for this :thumbs2::laugh:

[Dan_]

Ooh, that Norris is a darkhorse.Should have just used Les Battersby's nickname for him though, Doris.

BIGAMIST Peter Barlow is coming back to Corrie — with his secret five-year-old son.

The bookie, played by Chris Gascoyne, was left to look after little Simon by estranged wife Lucy, before she died of cancer.

But Peter takes to fatherhood badly — and moves back in with dad Ken and stepmum Deirdre to get help.

A soap source told TV Biz: “He is stunned by his son’s arrival. He doesn’t know the first thing about kids.” Peter even tries to give Simon away after sinking double whiskies in the Rovers Return. The insider said he blurts out: “Does anybody want a five-year-old kid? I’ve got one I don’t want.”

Ken — actor William Roache — has to give him a talking to.

Dying Lucy, played by Katy Carmichael, tracked Peter down to give him Simon. She had quit the Street after learning he was also married to barmaid Shelley Unwin — actress Sally Lindsay.

Peter was last seen in Weatherfield in January last year for step-sister Tracy’s murder trial.

He had a fling with crimper Maria Sutherland, played by Samia Smith. Maria is now married to Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier). But Liam is set to be murdered and Peter could provide a shoulder to cry on.

[BigSister]

oooh yeah Peter could get back together with Maria
wonder if hes stopping around for good

Killer ... Tony, left, and his victim Liam
http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00589/SNN19TV01F-384_589616a.jpg

In the scenes to be screened next month, Liam’s wife Maria (Samia Smith) is comforted at the cemetery by her hubby’s cousin Tom Kerrigan (Philip McGinley), nephew Ryan (Ben Thompson) and sister Michelle (Kym Ryder).

“No one even suspects him of murder.”

[Scarlett.]

Nice cliffhanger!

[BigSister]

ahhhh i forgot about the stape and rosie ill have to watch the 2nd 1

[Scarlett.]

Hmm, Im starting to doubt Teh Stape being the main kidnapper, Tony has motive too

[Tom4784]

I think this storyline with Stape is really boring and unrealistic. Plus the logic behind it is flawed. I can't wait till it starts focusing on Tony more again because i'm tired of this dragged out and dead on it's feet Stape-Fiz storyline.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, but wait until the week after next, Rosie goes missing :devil:
Its belived its Tony and Stape are working togther (Tony to keep his motive secret, and Stape, well cause she ruined his life)

[Scarlett.]

Liam (Rob James Collier), Tony (Gray O'Brien), Carla (Alison King) and Maria (Samia Smith) are back from the weekend away and Tony refuses to take any money off Liam who still feels distinctly uncomfortable about the whole thing. He is still not sure why Tony asked him to be best man and Carla is also worried about Tony’s motives.

Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is stunned into action when she discovers that John (Graeme Hawley) has had an accident in his cab. Lloyd (Craig Charles) runs her to the hospital where a bruised and battered John is delighted to see her. As he talks to her about the way his life has turned out she realizes she still has feelings for him and can’t turn her back on their relationship.

Jason (Ryan Thomas), meanwhile, is another resident trying to rekindle an old flame. As he whispers sweet nothings down the phone to Sarah an oblivious Becky (Katherine Kelly) is enlisting the help of Kirk (Andrew Whyment) and Michelle (Kym Marsh) to get the flat ready as a surprise for Jason. But it is Becky who gets the biggest surprise when Jason arrives home and tells her that Sarah has decided to come back to Weatherfield and they are going to give it another go.

Elsewhere Janice (Vicky Entwistle) can hardly contain her guilt when Sally (Sally Whittaker) tells the factory girls that the police think Rosie (Helen Flanagan) is off somewhere having an adventure with the lottery money.

Michelle (Kym Marsh) tells her to go home and sober up but Becky decides to go on a bender, rapidly turning into a one woman crime wave – stealing a purse, smashing shop windows, trashing police cars, flashing her boobs and vandalising Jason’s van before she is found by Steve (Simon Gregson) who escorts her to the café for Roy (David Neilson) to take care of her.

Leanne (Jane Danson) is worried that Janice (Vicky Entwistle) is about to crack and spill the beans on the lottery scam. As Sally (Sally Whittaker) grows increasingly concerned about Rosie’s whereabouts, Janice (Vicky Entwistle) is finding it hard to cope with the guilt.

John (Graeme Hawley) insists on discharging himself from the hospital as he tells Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) he is worried about his gran’s cat and hates the smell of the ward.

Anxious to get herself off the hook and wipe the smile of Hooch’s face she tells him she has an alibi – she is having an affair with a married man, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), and she was with him all night. How will Steve react when she tells him what she has done?

Janice (Vicky Entwistle) has been released on bail and feels sick at the thought of going into work. The factory girls don’t pull any punches and make it very clear exactly what they think of her. Meanwhile over at the Websters’ Sally (Sally Whittaker) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) are stunned when a postcard from Rosie drops on the doormat.

Elsewhere Nina (Harvey Verdi) is not best pleased when she finds Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) entertaining Tara (Ayesha Dharker) at the flat she she leaves him in no doubt about what will happen if he continues to see her.

This episode is written by Jonathan Harvey, produced by Kim Crowther and directed by Alan Wareing.

Friday 10 October 8.30pm

Liam (Rob James Collier) and Carla (Alison King) are unable to fight their feelings for each other any longer and head for the bedroom. Meanwhile back at the Rovers Tony’s (Gray O'Brien) suspicions are aroused when Michelle (Kym Marsh) tells him how stunning Carla looks in her wedding dress and says even Liam thought so. He decides to head straight for the flat to try and catch them at it – is the game up for Liam and Carla?

Steve (Simon Gregson) is stunned as Becky (Katherine Kelly) blackmails him telling him if he doesn’t agree to be her alibi Michelle will get to know everything about their fling. Faced with no option he tells DC Hooch (Dominic Carter) that Becky could not have done the things she is accused of as she was with him all night.

Sally (Sally Whittaker) is on the phone to the police telling them about the postcard from Rosie. The detectives tell her they will liaise with Holyhead police and circulate Rosie’s details. This isn’t enough for Sally who wants to go there herself and look for her daughter.

Dan (Matther Crompton) has put two and two together after Janice’s arrest and worked out where Leanne’s money was from, even though Janice (Vicky Entwistle) has kept Leanne’s name out of her confession. Leanne (Jane Danson) tries to explain to Dan but he isn’t prepared to listen and tells her it is over.

Elsewhere Tina (Michelle Keegan) has had enough of Teresa (Karen Henthorne) and walks out of her job at the Kebab shop.

CORRIE chiefs are following EastEnders’ lead — by introducing a paedophile.

A pervert copper who tried to seduce barmaid Becky Grainger when she was just 15 is on his way to wreak havoc in Weatherfield.

Detective Constable Hooch will seek payback for Becky shopping him as a sicko years ago.

The cop, played by Dominic Carter, wriggled off the rap but is still furious the Rovers’ favourite revealed his sordid secret and tarnished his reputation.

The move comes two weeks into a shocking storyline in rival soap EastEnders, which has seen ex-con Tony King, 33 (Chris Coghill) passionately kissing and bedding his 15-year-old stepdaughter Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty).

A Coronation Street insider said: “We never intentionally copy EastEnders and our plot will be portrayed significantly different to theirs. However, we are aware that this is a sensitive issue and we have ensured that all aspects have been thoroughly researched.”

Tart-with-a-heart Becky, played by Katherine Kelly, 27, comes back in contact with her attacker when she is arrested for vandalism after being dumped by lover Jason (Ryan Thomas).

He had tried to molest her more than ten years ago when he nabbed her for shoplifting as a young teen.

She had told his seniors and now Hooch is out for revenge and fits her up with a false charge of assault — meaning she faces jail.

However, friends Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Roy Cropper (David Neilson) pledge to help expose Hooch as a twisted paedophile after she finally confides in them.

The storyline will air on the ITV1 soap in November.

[Scarlett.]

There's a report in one of today's tabloids that suggests Coronation Street's Becky Granger (Kat Kelly) is to become embroiled in a paedophile plot, much like that in EastEnders at the moment.

Surprisingly, however, the story isn't quite right.

There is a hint in the storyline that Becky's alleged abuser, policeman DC Hooch (Dominic Carter), tried it on with Becky when she was younger, but that aspect of the storyline certainly isn't the main focus.

Instead, her 'involvement' with Steve (Simon Gregson) and Steve's relationship with Michelle (Kym Ryder) is thrown into the spotlight.

A spokeswoman for the ITV soap confirmed to me this morning: "The storyline involving Becky and DC Hooch is not a 'paedophile storyline'. There is one mention of the fact that Hooch tried it on with Becky when he arrested her for shoplifting when she was 15. But she gave him a black eye and reported him."

She continued: "He is now in charge of her arrest on suspicion of criminal damage and he is seeking revenge by adding an additional phoney charge of assault. Becky's age at the time of the original incident does not become a significant issue in the storyline. What this storyline is about is whether Steve will agree to be her alibi therefore risking his relationship with Michelle."

[BigSister]

Empty your diaries for the week of 13 October, because that's when lovely Liam Connor is finally going to meet his doom.

Five episodes will be shown, and they'll cover 24 hours in the lives of the Corrie cast, 24-style, as the Carla/Liam/Tony story reaches a climax with the death of Liam.

The MEN says that three endings have been filmed so what happens won't be spoiled in advance, and it's definitely true that three different endings have been photographed (I've seen them), but whatever happens it's going to be unmissable viewing.

[Loukas]

Can we see the pictures?!?!

[Scarlett.]

Lol I havent seen them, only the press have I think
I'll have a root around various places

[Scarlett.]

CORONATION Street is to mirror hit American TV series 24 with a week of special episodes.

All five ITV1 visits to Weatherfield that week will cover just one 24-hour period in the lives of the Rovers regulars.

The special soap week, from October 13, will see the exit of former factory boss Liam Connor, played by Rob James Collier.

The dramatic scenes also feature Gray O'Brien as current Underworld co-owner Tony Gordon.

He discovers Liam has been getting a little too close to Tony's bride-to-be Carla Connor (Alison King) as his stag party gets underway.

Three final scenes have been filmed in a bid to keep the exact details of Liam's exit a secret for viewers.

Award-winning drama 24 stars Kiefer Sutherland as American government agent Jack Bauer, with each story taking place over a 24-hour period.


Manchester Evening News (MEN)

[Scarlett.]

Several new faces are set to appear in Coronation Street over the coming months as the Windass clan (yes, you read that right) turn up in Weatherfield.

The family comprises husband Eddie (Steve Huison) and wife Donna (Debbie Rush), their son Carl (Mikey North) and Eddie's brother, Len (Conor Ryan - not to be confused with Ryan Connor!). Their names, however, may change before they appear on screen - you wouldn't believe the number of name changes there have been since their inception!

Some of you may recognise the name 'Steve Huison'. He played Lomper in The Full Monty and more recently, The Royal Today's porter Norman Dunstan (pictured, above right).

Apparently, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) will finally meet his match in Eddie Windass in a storyline which airs at the back end (no pun intended) of this year. And let's not forget there will be a vacant property on the Street at the end of the year when the last of the Mortons moves out...

Meanwhile, David's cellmate Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey, pictured left) will make a return to our screens in November when he's released from the Young Offenders' Institute.

In other casting news, I was pleased to see Liam Connor's (Rob James-Collier) mother and father Barry (Frank Grimes) and Helen (Sorcha Cusack) on location, filming for their screen son's funeral. Obviously, I'm not happy about the occasion that they've returned for - losing Liam will be a big loss to Corrie - but I am pleased the storyline team has acknowledged his family. There have been various occasions in soap where important relatives have failed to turn up at such important ceremonies.

However, there's no sign of Archie Shuttleworth (Roy Hudd) again. He wasn't even there for Vera's funeral. Maybe he's gone out of business? Mind you, is it possible for an undertaker to go out of business?

And finally, Janice Battersby's (Vicky Entwistle) fancy man Roger Stiles (Andrew Dunn) will disappear from our screens at the beginning of next month when he discovers the truth about Janice's lottery scam. There are no current plans for the character to return, but the door has been left open.

That rounds up my Coronation Street cast update. To digest this information properly, why don't you pop across to the Soap Movers Table to see all of Corrie's movers and shakers?






WOW!

Is it just me who thinks Coronation Street needs to be scrapped ASAP? Sure the episodes scrape the barrell of watchable quality but if you compare it to 2004 episodes, they're so boring & dull. :sad:

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, they over did it all, too many explosions and not enough character

I mean this murder thats coming up is the turning point for Corrie, its the biggest storyline since Mad Maya in 2004, so glad Kim Crowther is in charge now

[BigSister]

ACTRESS Helen Flanagan screams as she films shocking Corrie scenes — and is so convincing that horrified witnesses call the COPS.

The real-life drama happened as the crew shot scenes where Rosie Webster, played bv Helen, is locked in an isolated farmhouse by her ex lover John Stape (Graeme Hawley).



The teen star’s yells were so loud that horrified neighbours called the police — unaware that it was part of a gritty soap plot.

The cops raced to the set on full alert, sirens blaring, only to find the cries of “Help me, please get me out” were just part of the script.

The unsettling scenes, which see enraged teacher John exact a twisted revenge on teenage temptress Rosie, will air late next month.

Coronation Street's Dev Alahan is due to gain a business but lose a friend when he buys Jerry Morton's kebab shop.

The Daily Star reports that Dev, played by Jimmi Harkishin, tricks Jerry's son Darryl into revealing the healthy state of the eaterie's finances.

On finding out what a proposition it is, Dev snaps it up - but not without upsetting Darryl, played by Jonathan Dixon, along the way.

"I would kill Dev with my own hands," Darryl says when he finds out.

"There was me giving him all this info about how good the shop is because I wanted to prove I'm up to running a business. And all the time, he was milking me 'cos he wanted to buy it himself."

[BigSister]

awww poor Daryl

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I wonder what Dev will do with the place?
Maybe turn it into a corner shop and close his Coronation Street one

[Scarlett.]

This is the moment when Coronation Street’s teenage temptress Rosie Webster reveals all – in more ways than one.

The saucy secretary goes all out to seduce her boss – Weatherfield’s ruthless businessman Tony Gordon - after he takes her for lunch at a luxury hotel.

She strips to her underwear, a sexy corset and knickers, and waits for him in the hotel room in the episode to be screened tonight (Fri 26th Sept).

But when he rejects her and threatens her with the sack she decides it’s time he knew the truth about his fiancée Carla and her brother-in-law Liam Connor.

So she smugly shows him the footage she shot on her mobile phone of the two of them kissing.

Even Rosie is not prepared for Tony’s jealous reaction. He throws the terrified teenager down on the bed and tells her that no one else must find out about Carla and Liam’s affair.

And when Rosie mysteriously disappears, her family and the police soon establish that Tony was the last person to see her.

Over the coming weeks a desperate search gets underway for Rosie – has she run away or is there a more sinister explanation?

Actress Helen Flanagan, 18, has played Rosie since she was 9-years-old but she wasn’t worried about the underwear scenes.

She said: “Rosie is such a fun character to play. You never know what she will get up to next. Everyone was fantastic on set when we had to do these scenes and put me at ease.

“We had meetings about what Rosie would wear and it was decided that as she has access to all this amazing underwear she would go all out to try and seduce Tony.

“I knew that I had to act confidently because Rosie is confident and there was no point in being embarrassed. In the end I had great fun doing these scenes.”

This episode heralds the start of ‘murder week’. By the end of this week’s episodes Liam Connor (Rob James Collier) will be dead. Unusually for Coronation Street, every episode this week will be focusing on the events of just one day – revolving around Tony’s (Gray O'Brien) stag do.

We will not be revealing how Liam dies but one thing’s for sure - Tony Gordon will be the man responsible. Three different endings have been filmed but viewers will not know which one is going to be used up until the moment of the murder.

In tonight’s episode Tony and his mates gather ready for the stag do. They arrive in Roy’s Rolls to get into teams for the paintballing but Liam has other things on his mind and can’t stay away from Carla (Aison King). He insists she meet him in the Rovers back yard where he tries to persuade her to call off the wedding. Meanwhile Tony is keeping an eye on Liam – convinced he and Carla are having an affair.

Carla’s mind is in turmoil as she cracks open the bubbly for her hen night with the girls. She knows she wants Liam but she is terrified of the consequences of breaking up with Tony.

Elsewhere on the Street, Sophie (Brooke Vincent) is disappointed that her dad is so pre-occupied with Rosie’s disappearance that he has forgotten her swimming competition. But Kevin (Michael Le Vell) is soon reminded he has two daughters when another postcard arrives with the message Sophie’s next.

Steve (Simon Gregson) is rattled when DC Hooch (Dominic Carter) arrives on the street wanting to ask him more questions and Tina (Michelle Keegan) is delighted when Rita (Barbara Knox) offers her a job at the Kabin helping out whilst Norris (Macolm Hebdon) recovers from his accident.

Kevin (Michael Le Vell) is beside himself with worry and as soon as Tyrone (Alan Halsall) arrives back at the garage he jumps in the pick-up truck and heads for the swimming pool to pick up Sophie (Brooke Vincent).

HAYLEY Cropper is on her way back to Corrie — with a new man, we can reveal.

Julie Hesmondhalgh, 38, who plays the transsexual has had a year’s break from the ITV1 soap after an exhausting workload.

In the plot, fans saw Hayley leave to do charity work in Africa.

But hubby Roy (David Nelson) is in for a shock when she returns and says she has fallen in love with a Swedish teacher called Olaf and is leaving him.

A show source said: “Hayley leaves Roy devastated, but soon discovers Olaf is a rogue and begs Roy for forgiveness. Will he take her back?”



TRAUMATISED Rosie Webster is comforted by mum Sally after escaping the terrifying clutches of psycho teacher John Stape.

Corrie’s sexy wildchild — played by Helen Flanagan, 18 — had been kidnapped and kept locked in an isolated farmhouse by her obsessed ex-lover.

Nicked ... cops lead away obsessed kidnapper Stape

Nicked ... cops lead away obsessed kidnapper Stape

When she finally manages to flee, covered in cuts and bruises, she bolts to the open arms of her sobbing mum, played by Sally Whittaker, 45.

Cops then lead Stape (Graeme Hawley) off in handcuffs — as his girlfriend Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) hugs Rosie and desperately tries to convince the Street she knew nothing about the kidnap.

The dramatic scenes will be shown on the ITV1 soap next month.

[Tom4784]

Does this mean Stape's leaving?

[Scarlett.]

I think so yeah, unless he gets bail, and does something Mad Maya style (not neccesarily fire :P)

[BigSister]

awwww no cant believe Hayleys done that

[Scarlett.]

Aye, poor Roy :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

The Platts face more drama this Christmas when they go head to head with Weatherfield newcomers, the Windasses.

Mum and dad, Donna and Eddie Windass, live away from the Street but are set to cause no end of trouble for Joe McIntyre and the Platt family.

And it all starts with a new kitchen...

The Windasses will be played by Donna Rush and Eddie Huison. Their son, Gary, will be played by Mikey North while Conor Ryan will play Eddie’s brother, Len.

They make their first appearance on our screens in November.

I really like Carla, so I'm glad shes coming back if its only temp :tongue:

She'll probably need a break to clear her head or something, but the whole Liam thing would be a good opportunity to write her out for a year or so without having her wait around for another 3 months.

She did look so hot then though just stood at the door :lovedup:

[BigSister]

ah right thanks chewy thats good news then

[Scarlett.]

Lol, I guess she might do a runner from Tony, or go into hiding when she finds out the truth

[Scarlett.]

Rob James-Collier has been spilling the beans to TV Times magazine about the three possible ways that Liam Connor might meet his death.

"I can't tell you exactly what happens," he says. "Three methods of murder have been speculated about. There's one where Tony kills Liam at his paintballing stag do, one where he's arranged a hit and run, and another where he pushes Liam off a balcony at the Victoria Street flats."

Having seen photos of all these scenarios, I like the paintballing one as it looks very dramatic, but arranging a hit-and-run sounds more like Tony Gordon, as he seems to like getting other people to do his dirty work for him. Rob James-Collier doesn't mind which way his character is done in: "I'm happy as it means I can have closure and move on to the next thing," he says.

Meanwhile, he once again confirms that Carla is the woman Liam loves. "Liam thought he loved Maria, but it turns out that he doesn't. He chose the wrong woman."





his is great news. We recently had an all-too-brief reintroduction to "Sunny Jim" Jed Stone (played by Kenneth Cope) as he stood up to Underworld Overlord Tony Gordon. We last saw Jed in hospital, and were left wondering whether that would be the last we'd see of him.

Apparently not - Inside Soap reckons that Jed will be leaving hospital soon, and will stay with Emily Bishop while he convalesces. Hopefully this will lead to some reminiscing about the old days, a bit of rivalry with Norris, and of course Tony Gordon isn't going to be thrilled to see him either. But we are!

[BigSister]

Yeah i read that in inside soap about Jed thats great news

[Scarlett.]

Aye, will be good to see him back on the street

In today's Tango watched we look at the mystery Tanned Temptress Carla's phantom tan! In the first episode on Monday Carla was ILLUMINOUS! It could be that the actress was pregnant.....Pah! Only if she's got a radioactive womb! Even though she looked deadly irradiated she managed to carry off the look with gusto, the Tanning gods salute you Carla!

Strangely though all traces of her tan disapeared by the second episode....have we discovered the Marie Celeste of the Tanning world? Will the mystery of the Marie Carla ever be solved? Who knows!

P.S LOWER MY KARMA! please. :bigsmile:
