It is thought that the soap star has now undergone an emergency operation, though full details are yet to emerge.


A Coronation Street spokeswoman confirmed to DS tonight that Jones remains in hospital.


She added: "Our thoughts are with her family and everyone wishes her a speedy recovery."


More soon.




Sounding a bit more hopeful

[\PJ/]

If she did die what would happen?

[Scarlett.]

If she did die what would happen?

On the show you mean? Well I guess Thursday's Corrie would be dedicated to her, she would have to be written out, and maybe 'die' in the soap a few months later, like when Stan died

[Mrluvaluva]

hope she pulls through and gets better soon.

[Scarlett.]

We will have to sit and hope, all Corrie fans will be hoping for her recovery :(

[Scarlett.]

y-FO4zaL_Rc

One of my favourite Blanche scenes

[Tom]

Poor Maggie :(

I hope shes alright, but the way 2009 has gone with celebs .....

Thats 2 things now in the past few months, I think either way Blanche will be leaving the street in the next few months

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, I dont think she will be staying when she gets out (or if :()

[\PJ/]

I love old women on TV there so hilarious!

[Callum]

Aw no, I love Blanche. :( She's brilliant on Corrie, I never watch it much, but whenever I do her one liners always crack me up. Hope she gets better.

[Scarlett.]

I hope so too, from the sound of things she is gonna make it (I hope)

Much-loved soap star Maggie Jones has been hastily written out of Coronation Street after she was admitted to hospital.
The 75-year-old actress, better known as sharp-tongued battleaxe Blanche Hunt, needed an operation.
Maggie did not want the nature of her illness disclosed, but friends say she is “quite poorly”.
Yesterday, cast and crew on the hit ITV soap were hoping she will make a full recovery.
In the meantime, scriptwriters have had to write out her character for the foreseeable future.
Maggie’s comic timing in delivering Blanche’s acerbic barbs and witty one-liners have won her a clutch of awards.
Most recently she picked up the Funniest Performance gong at this year’s Inside Soap Awards. But she admitted she wasn’t impressed with her character’s sharp tongue.
“I don’t find her funny and don’t think I could play her properly if I did,” said Maggie, who won Best Comedy Performance at the British Soap Awards in 2005 and 2008.
“Blanche genuinely believes what she’s saying is right, and doesn’t say things for comedic effect. If I started trying to play the lines for laughs, they wouldn’t come out right and the performance would suffer.
“Everyone knows someone like Blanche – or if they don’t, they wish they did! We’d all like to be as outspoken as her and have the nerve to say the things she does.”
This is not the first time that injury has seen London-based Maggie sidelined from the Street.
In April last year, shoulder and knee problems kept her away from the set for several weeks.
limped
Maggie was hurt after falling at the Manchester hotel where she lives during filming. She insisted she was OK and even limped the couple of hundred yards to the Granada studios.
But the medical staff there sent her straight to accident and emergency, where her injuries were discovered to be far more serious than first thought.
Maggie has played Deirdre Barlow’s straight-talking mum since 1974, although Blanche’s appearances in the soap have been erratic.
She appeared consistently from 1974-1976, before being reduced to occasional appearances over the next two years.
She appeared briefly again in 1981, 1996 and 1997 and resumed a full-time role in 1998.

BLANCHE’S BEST BARBS
Blanche on Liz McDonald: Skirt no bigger than a belt, too much eyeliner, and roots as dark as her soul!
Blanche to Ken Barlow, talking about his university reunion: Did you tell them you wash cups in a cafe for a woman who used to be called Harold?
Blanche to Ken: You’re going to have to start taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, Kenneth, or you’re going to have a long and unhappy old age.
Emily Bishop: I wish I was three again.
Blanche: Oh yes, rickets, TB, rationing... Those
were the days!
Shelley Unwin, at the altar, having told the congregation that she will not marry Charlie Stubbs, tells him: You are destroying me. You do go with other women. I’ve seen it with my own eyes! And you made me feel it was my fault! You made me feel scared, you made me feel inferior. I can’t trust you! I can’t marry you!
Blanche: Do you think they wrote their own vows?
Becky throws away her engagement ring after learning Steve McDonald first gave it to Michelle. Blanche to Steve: That’s the second fiancee to chuck that ring away. You’d be better off buying a boomerang!
Ken: Don’t turn off the TV on my account.
Blanche: Don’t worry, it’s only Jeremy Kyle, I’ve more or less been living that show this year.
Liz McDonald enters wearing a low-cut, sparkly mini-dress: Morning, all. What do you think?
Deirdre Barlow: Oh, I say, you look very glam!
Tracy Barlow: We don’t normally dress for breakfast.
Liz: No, this is for me job interview.
Tracy: What job?
Blanche: Prostitute.


The Mirror

[Scarlett.]

CORONATION Street legend Maggie Jones was fighting for life in hospital last night after rupturing her spleen in a fall.

The telly veteran - who plays battleaxe Blanche Hunt - has had major surgery and was said to be critically ill.

Widow Maggie, 75, was diagnosed with the life-threatening condition after suffering the horror fall at her home on Sunday.

She is being treated at the Hope Hospital in Manchester where doctors believe the next few days are vital.
http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00907/SNN1309B-380_907193a.jpg

Last night frantic bosses were writing her out of all immediate scenes and breaking the grim news to co-stars on the ITV soap.

A Corrie source said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with her at this difficult time.

"Everyone here is wishing her a speedy recovery and we hope she's going to be OK.

"We're keeping our fingers crossed because obviously she is one of the elder members of the cast.

"There's a very real chance her career's over and the character of Blanche will be off screens for good.

"Even if she manages to make a full recovery she wouldn't be filming again until Christmas, which will keep her off-screen until mid-February at least.

"It's devastating news for fans. She's a very popular actress and has a massive following on the show."

The spleen is an organ in the upper abdomen that removes old red blood cells and recycles them.

In April last year Maggie was ruled out of filming for several weeks when she hurt her knee and shoulder after a fall at a Manchester hotel where she stays during filming.

Maggie made her Corrie debut in the 1960s as a policewoman and put in another guest appearance a few years later.

She first starred as Deirdre Barlow's mum Blanche in 1974 and became a regular cast member ten years ago.

Since then she has won an army of fans with her put-downs and cutting one-liners - winning awards for best comedy performance in a British soap in 2005 and 2008.

With her trademark scowl and "don't mess with me" folded arms, she berates Deirdre and son-in-law Ken.

In one classic snipe, she said: "Good looks are a curse, Deirdre. You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky."

[Scarlett.]

The Corrie cast and crew are wishing actress Maggie Jones a speedy recovery.
Maggie who plays acid-tongued Blanche Hunt, was taken ill at the weekend.
The 75-year-old was staying at a hotel in Manchester at the time. She has had an operation and is recovering in hospital.
A show spokesman said: "We are all thinking about Maggie and wish her a speedy recovery. She has been written out of scenes whilst she recovers. Reports that she fell and had a ruptured spleen are totally inaccurate, but the nature of her operation is private."
Blanche is a much-loved character famous for her hilarious one-liners and everyone at Corrie hopes Maggie will a make good, quick recovery.

[Braden]

what's corrie going to be like without blanche !

[Scarlett.]

Not half as funny as it used to be!

[Jackie]

I wonder how they will write her out,hope she gets better soon.

[Scarlett.]

She might go to see some friends

[Scarlett.]

The condition of Coronation Street actress Maggie Jones has improved slightly following major surgery.

The star, who plays Blanche Hunt in the soap, was seriously ill in hospital after falling ill.

"There has been an improvement this afternoon in Maggie's condition and she seems to have turned a bit of a corner," a spokesman for the soap said.

It is not clear what sort of operation she has had, but she has been written out of any scenes for a while.

Several newspaper reports had claimed that the actress, best known for her Blanche put downs, had ruptured her spleen, but that has been denied.

"She's had an operation and obviously she's in her 70s. Our thoughts are with her," the spokeswoman said.

"She's been written out of storylines for the time being, everyone's wishing her a speedy recovery."

'My beautiful Maggie'

Jones has appeared in the ITV soap as Deirdre's mother regularly since the late 1990s.

Her fellow actor Bill Tarmey, who plays pensioner Jack Duckworth, said his thoughts were with the actress.

"My beautiful Maggie," he said. "She is a delight, she is wonderful and I am just hoping she will be OK.

"We just sit and laugh together and I need her to get better otherwise I will be sitting on my own."

BBC News

[Scarlett.]

Coronation Street's ongoing Tony Gordon plotline is to take a new surprise twist as the Weatherfield villain reveals all to a stunned Roy Cropper (David Neilson).

The businessman's conscience gets the better of him as he lies in hospital after suffering a heart attack on the Street.
In scenes to be broadcast later this month, things start to go wrong for Tony (Gray O'Brien) following the 12-month anniversary of his decision to arrange the murder of Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier).

With Carla (Alison King) back in Manchester and threatening to destroy his new life with Liam's widow Maria (Samia Smith), Tony resorts to increasingly desperate measures to stop his crime from being exposed. He approaches henchman Jimmy Dockerson (Robert Beck) to silence Carla for good, but eventually has a crisis of conscience and decides to stop the planned murder at the last minute.

Arriving at Carla's flat, Tony watches his nemesis hitting Jimmy over the head. Mistakenly believing that Jimmy is dead, Carla agrees to let Tony hide the body and promises to leave Weatherfield for good in return for the favour.
However, just as the sinister entrepreneur begins to believe that his problems are over, he collapses on the Street's cobbles due to a cardiac arrest.

After café owner Roy discovers Tony, he immediately calls 999 and accompanies him in the ambulance. Later that night, believing he is about to die, Tony drops a bombshell in his hospital bed by confessing all to Roy.

As Roy reels from the news that the businessman is a killer, Tony's life support machine alarms go off, leaving viewers to wonder whether his confession will be his final act.


See the pictures here (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronationstreet/news/a182212/in-pictures-tony-confesses-in-corrie.html)

[Scarlett.]

How does it feel to be back at Corrie?
"It really is the strangest thing - you just walk in and it was nice saying hello to everybody in the green room and stuff but all of a sudden you're on set. It was just me mainly at the start, so apart from one scene with Rob - who plays Jimmy - it was just me and the crew in my flat, so it was brilliant - and really, really funny. Banter as usual and you're like, 'But that is my first day, is nobody going to make a fuss?' and of course nobody does because they're all onto the next scene."

[B]You're back for a short period then you're going off again – how do all the dates work out? When will we see you?
"I'm back on screen for two weeks and a lot happens. Then I'm off screen for about three weeks and then full steam ahead. I'm back filming full-time now, though."

Your return's quite a seminal point in the storyline, too…
"It sparks the beginning of the end for Tony and where I stand with it all. It's all about whether I tell anyone about Tony killing Liam. It's big stuff. If everybody does find out - which I'm sure they will - my name will be muck and I'm going to be on my own again. I don't know who they're going to get for me to play with because unless my brother gets out of prison I'm going to be hated by everyone again!"

Where's Carla been?
"She's been to LA - and there have been about six million references to LA in case you'd forgotten where Carla was! I think she's been with an old school friend. So the one person she's kept in touch with apart from the Connors has a place in LA, so she runs off to visit her any time she's got a problem, which is nice."

What's her motive for returning?
"I think it's just Carla saying, 'I miss the urban grime, I'm sick of wall to wall sunshine'. No, in all seriousness, I think she's probably sick of hiding. You know how it's great to go on holiday but she's made a few roots in Weatherfield and she doesn't have many, so I presume that she does miss the urban life. It's everything she's built up. That's her only empire and she was quite good at it so she can't believe that Tony's holding off contacting her. She's had a bit of time to get some balls back, too."

She returns for baby Liam's christening…"I think Leanne told her about Maria, so that's probably one of the factors for why she's back. I don't know whether she's heard about the christening or not but she's probably thought, 'I can't let this go on'. But at the same time, she's thought of a beneficial way it might suit her to get the factory back."

Where do we first see her?
"We see her at the graveside in hooded Scottish widow-type fashion! I think it reads like she's arranged to meet him there, which is all quite gruesome, but quite poignant I suppose. I guess in storyline terms, we're near Liam's death so it would be nice if it were all dark and mysterious. I think it's just a reference to his death and that's the place to make him feel under most pressure I guess. My first words when I see him are, 'You're late'. It just goes to show that Carla's completely in control when she comes back - the ball's in her court."

How does Tony react?
"Carla tells him, 'Stop doing what you're doing with Maria or I'll tell her, everybody else and the police that you killed Liam'. She's not going to make it easy for him but he's pretty manipulative himself and whether it's going to be the easy or the hard way you'll have to wait and find out…"

What do you make of Tony and Maria?
"With Maria, Tony has what he's always wanted with Carla. Tony and Maria are the leftovers - they're what Carla and Liam didn't really want. Tony'll be damned if he's going to let Carla screw it up now he's worked so hard to get where he wants. But it's sick - he can't carry on that way forever, not in Coronation Street."

Then there's a shock turn of events involving Jimmy…"Yeah, the fight… I think Tony says something like, 'I want her dead'. Tony wants Carla out of the way and Carla wants him out of the way, so I keep arranging to meet him but he doesn't show up and I'm left with this skulky figure of Jimmy standing in front of me. Carla ends up fighting for her life and there's an amazing twist, too. It just shifts the control again. The ball's in Tony's court… Tony's so controlling of Carla and in her panic, she has to flee again."

What's it feel like to be a new mum?
"Daisy's just here sitting on my knee - she loves the phone, she'll probably try to eat it in a moment! I blew dry her hair last night and she loves that, too. She comes out of the bath and it's all wet - she's not got much at the minute. She loves it when I blow dry my hair, so I put it on this low heat and blew dry her hair into this spiky quiff, it's hilarious and it's kept for today! She looks brilliant.

"Being a new mum runs over you like a steamroller at first. I was working quite hard up until the birth and then the birth resulted in an operation - I had to have an emergency C-section. Then it's just pure hard work and I never realised it would be this hard! The sleep deprivation is just exhausting but she's excellent and so funny now. She's worth everything."

Was it hard to leave her at home and return to work?
"Oh yeah. When I went back to film Carla's return, it was the first time I'd been away all day from her, but it makes it doubly nice when you do come home. I was racing to get home before she went to bed and when I got in, she was upstairs having her nappy changed. She's got really good hearing. When I came in she had this massive attack of excitement that normally only happens when daddy walks in the room, so I was really pleased!"

Have you taken Daisy into the studios yet?
"I took her in a few months ago but she's entered a new phase of life where she's so alert and the different things that have been dangling in front of her for the whole five or six months have now just taken on a whole new world. She's excited by everything. I'm going to take her onto the Street again, and even though she won't understand it, she'll get a whole lot of attention."

Does Carla still have any feelings for Tony?
"No. I think it's complete disdain and he's a piece of poo on her shoe now. She's really got it in for him and what's even more sick and twisted is the fact he's with Maria. It just makes Carla feel a little bit sick. I suppose she's a little bit jealous because Carla wouldn't be Carla unless she had all the attention, would she? It just doesn't make any sense to Carla and she's had all this time to think… She's probably got a boyfriend in LA, actually - they could bring him over! He could be called Frank the Yank!"

Who else on the Street do you think Carla would set her sights on?
"It can't be Steve McDonald and it can't be... There's actually nobody for her! I always thought - and it made me giggle - that her and Dev could make a ridiculous couple. But actually, I think she's just got to have a bit of fun next time - that could be the way forward. I know she likes being looked after but she's done that twice now and it's gone horribly wrong, both with Paul and Tony. Her true love was Liam and he wasn't 'all that', was he? He didn't have cash to flash around."

Do you think Carla Gordon's the new Elsie Tanner?
"[Laughs] Full steam ahead! I just wish I had some of those blouses and her pointy boobs - they were brilliant!"

Why do you think fans love Carla so much?
"I don't know… I think a lot of women like her ego and she's quite real. She's quite gobby but also quite driven. Everyone would like to be a bit like that - to be able to say exactly what they want, when they want and walk with their heads held high and their high heels on down the street jangling their keys and going, 'Oh, get lost - I don't care what you think!' I had a woman come up to me once who said, 'I like Carla, she keeps it real!'"

Kim Crowther promised that Carla will come into her own in the new year…"I've no idea what's happening! Carla's got nowhere to hide now and I think she'll do things to save herself at first, which will make everybody hate her. So with that and how damaged she already is, you're going to see more of a bitch than we have done - and I think that's probably what they all need in the factory."

Tony Gordon

Tony Gordon is a man who wants his own way and if he doesn't get it then good luck to those in his way! He had Liam Connor murdered after discovering he was having an affair with his wife Carla. He also murdered pensioner Jed Stone when he dared to stand up to him and he's now set up home with Liam's grieving widow Maria. Will he get his comeuppance?


ITV.com


Which means...the scenes where Jimmy was frightening Jed may have ended in Jed passing away

Coronation Street star Gray O'Brien has revealed that the hospital scenes for his spectacular exit had to be repeatedly reshot.


The actor - who plays murderer Tony Gordon - has a heart attack and confesses to Roy Cropper than he killed Liam Connor.


However, he said the final scenes had to be re-shot over and over again because David Neilson - who plays Roy Cropper - kept laughing, The Sun reported.


O'Brien stated: "David is the worst giggler you will ever meet. He's brilliant as Roy Cropper and a really good mate off-screen.



"The hospital scenes look amazing but you'll never see the truth. It took so many takes to get in the can because David just couldn't stop laughing."
He added he will miss the soap but he was happy with his final storyline.


O'Brien said: "I'm sad to leave the show but Tony is going to go out with a bang. And, after filming the final episodes, I can honestly say that I have never been so exhausted in my life.


"I didn't want to exit from the show consigned to oblivion by waving from the back of a taxi.



"This way, Tony is finally gone - but the confession isn't the end of the story, not by far."


He went on to say Coronation Street fans seem to have a soft spot for Tony Gordon.
"Producers warned me I'd get a hard time with the public as Corrie baddies always do. But viewers have warmed to him because although he is a nutcase he also has charm," O'Brien explained.

[Scarlett.]

I just read Roy is 60 O_O

[Scarlett.]

Here is a teaser for what may be the last stage of Tony's freedom...
"But as the police arrive on the street someone is intent on silencing the Croppers, have they left it too late to get away? "

[Nicky.]

I'm very lost with this storyline! :3
Will you explain for me in English? xD

I know Tony dies, and just before he dies he tells Royster he killed Liam............ then I'm clueless! xD Xx

[BigSister]

He doesnt die this week Nicky I dont think unless im being tota;lly stupid lol

[Scarlett.]

No, he survives :P

[BigSister]

Yay im right i thought he didnt ^_^
I might be going to see Tony in panto at Manchester

[Nicky.]

[BigSister]

[Nicky.]

Ah ok!

For some reason, my dad keeps asking me why they took out the Wed corrie, because it was pointless and he wants it back, and he keeps going on and on! ... it'll keep him quiet this week! Xx

[Scarlett.]

[Scarlett.]

[Nicky.]

[Scarlett.]

Good gal Niko

[Mrluvaluva]

Thanks for letting us know it was on tonight. I would have missed it. Was a nice surprise as Wednesday is a really crap night for TV.

[Scarlett.]

I still am not used to the new schedule lol

[Zac]

They just showed a minute long clip on This Morning when Tony makes his confession to Roy. Really good! Looking forward to tonights epi.

[Scarlett.]

[BigSister]

[Scarlett.]

The thread title comes from Poison Arrow by ABC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X69xQl-xF1k
:3

[Mrluvaluva]

I guessed that. Lol

[Stacey.]

i hopee tony doesnt die!! :(
i would prefer carla dies,, not him!!
he makes the soap what it is, do NOT get rid of him...
it will be a bigg mistakee. :(

[BigSister]

What was up with those halloween people last night lol

[NettoSuperstar!]

Tony wont die he hasnt tried to kill Roy yet

[Zac]

He tries to kill Roy?
I thought that Roy falls in the water and Tony tries to save him, not kill him?
I'm sure I read that somewhere.

[NettoSuperstar!]

I thought I read Roy finds out about Liam and Tony tries to kill him...hehe, who knows?

[Zac]

hmm we'll see I guess.
Chewy will know what's going on though.

btw I don't want Gray O'Brien to go either.

[Scarlett.]

Actually, I dont, I have no idea where the Tony storyline is going yet :P

[Mrluvaluva]

Tony confesses to Roy thinking he is about to die. Tony lives. Tony then tries to kill Roy. Tony has a change of heart. Tony saves Roy. No?

[Scarlett.]

Theres a lot more to it than that, but I dont know the conclusion, I do know he sends someone to kill the Croppers after they call the police (unless I read it wrong)

[Zac]

^ Oooh that sounds good! I hope Tony exits the show with a bang.

[Scarlett.]

Same here, it will be **** if he is just arrested

[Zac]

Great episode tonight!

[Scarlett.]

Aye! Twas

I now know how Tony's reign of terror ends :3

[Zac]

[Scarlett.]

[Zac]

[Zac]

[Scarlett.]

After the Cropper's telling the cops what Tony did, the police turn up to arrest Tony, they question him then release him, that night, Tony breaks into the cafe and grabs a knife, but Maria turns up at the cafe, Tony sneaks off to the canal with a blood stained knife and attacks Roy.

Later that night, Tony turns up at the cop shop and confesses all, there will be a trial and he does return next year though

[BigSister]

Yeah me like the title too
Im ok if you dont tell us chewy because it might get into trouble but can you say is it this year or next year

[Scarlett.]

I already spilled lol, I shouldnt have said, but I dont think ITV will come knocking xD

[Zac]

So he's attacks Maria before he does Roy?!

[Scarlett.]

I'm not sure, he tells Roy that he has killed Hayley but the spoilers dont mention that specifically

[Scarlett.]

Here it all is, copied and pasted :P

Tony’s (Gray O’Brien) a desperate man and as he frantically tries to cling on to the new life he’s created he packs Maria (Samia Smith) off to a health spa for the day, knowing the police are about to come calling. Keeping up the façade Tony goes to work but when the police arrive and arrest him on suspicion of Liam’s murder he can feel his world falling apart. Down at the station Tony’s interviewed about the Croppers allegations. As the police pile on the pressure, saying they’ll speak to Maria, will Tony crumble and confess to murder?

Meanwhile Roy (David Neilson) and Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) return to the café and are relieved to hear that Tony has been arrested and taken to the police station. But as gossip about Tony’s arrest spreads Maria arrives back on the street. Is she about to discover the awful truth about Tony?

Elsewhere Julie (Katy Cavanagh) is furious with Eileen (Sue Cleaver) for making Jesse (John Thompson) sack her, insisting she has no designs on her man. But when Eileen makes another discovery while nosing through Jesse’s wallet she wonders what else he’s hiding from her.

Anna (Debbie Rush) worries when Gary (Mikey North) reveals he has decided to go on an army taster weekend and Ted (Michael Byrne) is delighted when Gail (Helen Worth) asks if he will give her away at her wedding.

This episode is written by Simon Crowther and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Neil Johnston.

Knowing he’s lost Maria (Samia Smith), Tony (Gray O’Brien) grabs the set of café keys he’s stolen and heads off into the night. Letting himself in Tony lurks in the shadows as Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) sees Roy (David Neilson) off on a bat watch. Picking up a kitchen knife Tony follows Hayley towards the flat but he’s stopped in his tracks when he hears Maria banging on the door. Hiding again Tony listens as Maria sobs her heart out, while Hayley informs her of his confession and threats to kill Roy. Realising he has nothing to lose anymore Tony goes after Roy. Finding him at the canal Tony makes it clear he has come seeking revenge. As Roy demands to know what he’s done to Hayley, he’s horrified to see the blood-stained knife. Believing Tony has killed Hayley, Roy lunges at him. They fight but a younger, fitter Tony easily overpowers Roy then throws him semi-soncsious into the canal. As Roy struggles to stay afloat Tony watches him slip beneath the water. Has Tony killed again?

Elsewhere Eileen’s (Sue Cleaver) annoyed that Jesse (John Thompson) didn’t tell her about his fortieth birthday on Friday. She tries to force him to come clean but when he still won’t confess Lloyd (Craig Charles) suggests she should throw him a surprise party.

And as David (Jack P Shepherd) discusses Gail’s impending wedding with his new girlfriend Zoe (Kirsty-Leigh Porter), she correctly deduces that David would never approve of Gail’s choice of man.

Maria’s shocked to hear Tony’s handed himself in and needing some answers she heads to the station. As the police confirm her worst fears Maria‘s horrified.

Michelle’s (Kym Marsh) had a long night tending to a restless Maria (Samia Smith) and when Ryan (Ben Thompson) arrives she has the tough job of breaking the news to him that Tony had Liam killed. As he swears revenge on Tony, Michelle tries to calm him, but Ryan breaks down claiming he’s going to live with his grandparents as he can’t bear to stay in Weatherfield any longer. Devastated Michelle advises he call them first. But after speaking to Barry, Ryan decides to stay. Michelle‘s relieved until Ryan explains that Barry and Helen have flown in from Ireland and are at the airport.

Over at no.7 a hysterical Maria sets about removing all traces of Tony from her life. Still in a state of shock it’s clear Maria is a broken woman.

Elsewhere Gail (Helen Worth) and Joe (Reece Dinsdale) are about to go shopping for their wedding but when Joe gets a phone call from his debt collector he‘s forced to send Gail without him. Joe’s horrified as Rick (Greg Wood) tells him his debt has now doubled and threatens to take the boat as payment. Will Joe finally confess the extent of his debts to Gail?

As the Barlows welcome George (Anthony Valentine) and Eve (Sabina Franklyn) to tea they‘re stunned as Blanche walks in dressed to the nines. She openly flirts with George, who is charm personified, that is until she lets a few family skeletons out of the closet.

Friday 20 November [2]

The information contained herein is strictly embargoed from all press and non commercial publication until 00.01 Tuesday 10 November 2009.

As Helen (Dearbhla Molloy) and Barry (Frank Grimes) arrive on the street Michelle (Kym Marsh) explains to her parents that Liam had an affair with Carla and Tony had him killed out of revenge. Maria’s (Samia Smith) mortified when Helen then accuses her of sleeping with Tony to get revenge on Carla and Liam. Deeply hurt Maria takes baby Liam out for a walk but when she doesn‘t come home the Connors start to worry. Eventually they track her down to Liam’s grave where Maria, on the verge of a breakdown, makes a shock decision.

Fearing there’s no way out a desperate Joe (Reece Dinsdale) is forced to admit his massive debts to Gail (Helen Worth), although he doesn’t go as far as revealing a loan shark is involved. In a state of shock Gail walks out. Will she stand by her man again or has Joe lost Gail for good this time?

As George (Anthony Valentine) and Eve (Sabina Franklyn) leave the Barlows’ tea party George is short with Peter (Chris Gascoyne) and Leane (Jane Danson) after learning about their dodgy pasts. Peter’s hardly surprised but when George then calls at the betting shop apologising with flowers and gifts he‘s bemused.

Steve (Simon Gregson) and Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) are gutted to learn that their guest memberships at the golf club have expired. When the secretary then tells them that there’s one full membership available they agree to play a deciding round to determine who gets it.

And when Eileen (Sue Cleaver) reveals the surprise limo ride she’s organised for Jesse’s (John Thompson) birthday she’s less than impressed to hear he always spends his big day with his parents.

[30stone]

Jekyll and Hyde type of guy is Tony.

[Scarlett.]

I like both sides of him lol :o

[Scarlett.]

Tony Gordon is a complex man and from next Monday, you'll be able to see inside his mind.
We will be showing three videos on ITV.com, depicting what's going on inside Tony's head as he considers his next steps, following his murder confession.

As Roy presses Tony’s conscience and piles on the pressure for him to admit his dark secret, a frustrated Tony considers his options. In a dramatic dictated letter to Maria, he apologises for what he’s about to do. But what exactly IS he about to do?

Using one script, each three-minute video is performed and interpreted in a different way, revealing the complexity of Tony’s character. Watch the videos and work out what action Tony will take. Will there be another death in the Street?

You'll be able to see the videos on www.itv.com/corrie (http://www.itv.com/Soaps/coronationstreet/)from 9pm on Monday, 9th Nov.

We'll also be hosting a live chat with Corrie's producer Kim Crowther after Thursday 19 November's 8.30pm episode. The chat will start just before the episode at 8.30pm and Kim will join in to answer your questions just after the episode finishes at 9pm. If you've got a burning Corrie question, this is your chance to get some answers!

[BigSister]

oooh cool

[Scarlett.]

I will try and get some awnsers from Mrs. Crowther :D

[Scarlett.]

CORRIE killer Tony Gordon waves a gun in dramatic new scenes delving into his crazed mind.

Tony (Gray O'Brien) spills the beans over his past to Maria but will he turn himself in, use the weapon on Roy Cropper or even shoot himself?
All will be unveiled during Monday's episode. The web clips will also be broadcast at www.itv.com/corrie.
