Here's the newest previews

Yesterday's episode was great, I watched it this morning on ITV2. Blanche was so funny with her usual one liners. So glad the ring turned up in the end :D

CORRIE’S Tony Gordon gives love rival Liam Connor the evil eye as he plots revenge.


The factory boss, played by Gray O’Brien, knows fiancée Carla Connor (Alison King) slept with hunky brother-in-law Liam.

So scheming Tony invites Liam and his wife Maria to join him and Carla on a trip to the Peak District.

Liam, played by Rob James-Collier is gleefully unaware that Tony knows about his history with Carla — and is set for a very dark surprise in a cave . . .

CORONATION Street bosses have drafted in Bollywood beauty Ayesha Dharker after facing criticism for being “too white”.

Last month, a study by equality chief Trevor Phillips blasted soaps for showing only black and Asian stereotypes.

Corrie’s Asian corner shop boss Dev Alahan was cited as an example of tokenism — but his role will be beefed up with a sizzling mother — daughter love triangle featuring the newcomer.

Bombay-born Ayesha, 31 — who has also been in Star Wars Episode II and Doctor Who — will appear on the ITV1 soap from October as Tara Mandal, daughter of Dev’s love Nina.

When Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) meets her, he is smitten and ends up caught between the two women.

The report found black and Asian viewers believe they are often inaccurately portrayed.

A show insider said: “We really want Ayesha to become a favourite with viewers.”

ooh exciting

Coronation Street's Kelly Crabtree is apparently set to take on a second job pulling pints as she goes behind the bar at the Rovers Return.

Hard-up Kelly, played by 30-year-old Tupele Dorgu, will take up the job to make a few extra pounds to supplement her income from working in the nearby Underworld factory, according to reports in The Mirror.

According to the paper, Kelly is asked: "Since when did you become a barmaid?"

To which she replies: "About 30 seconds ago... I really need the money so here I am."

Bookmaker Dan Mason is also said to fall for Kelly when he spots her in the pub.

Kelly will be the 51st woman to take up a job at the Rovers Return.

Previous pint-pullers include Irma Ogden, Racquel Watts and the leopard-print loving Bet Lynch.

Betty Williams, played by Betty Driver, has been pulling pints and serving up her renowned hot pot since 1969.

____________________________
DASTARDLY Coronation Street villain Tony Gordon has met his match with the return of soap legend Jed Stone.

Jed, played by Southport-based actor Kenneth Cope, returns to the cobbles after the longest absence in soap history - he was last seen in the show 42 years ago as “Sunny Jim”.

With a nod to his most famous role, Hopkirk, in cult 70's crime show Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), Kenneth will once again turn detective as Jed becomes embroiled in a murder plot.

“Liam's going to get killed and Jed's involved in finding out who did the murder,” said Kenneth.

The show's scriptwriters have revealed that Liam Connor, the love rival of ruthless property developer Tony Gordon, is soon to leave the show after being brutally murdered.

Now he's back in the Granada green room after more than 40 years, Kenneth is relishing his new role.

“I've already been yelled at in Tesco’s!” he said.

“A very nicely dressed middle class lady shouted to me, 'Give him a good clout, Jed!'”

For Kenneth this is nothing new - last time he was a regular at the Rovers Return he was the nation's favourite loveable rogue and became used to the public attention.

“I was always a favourite with older ladies,” he said.

But his role as Minnie Caldwell's wheeler dealer lodger brought him some more welcome female attention - from his wife of more than 30 years, Renny Lister.

Renny played Jean Stark in the show, one of Sunny Jim's ill-fated love interests, and while the on-screen romance was doomed, in real life it led to a long and happy marriage, three children and four grandchildren.

They look back fondly on the show that brought them together.

“It was a real family,” said Renny.

“We'd come in on Mondays, pick up our expenses and spend them all at once!

“Then we'd rehearse all week, and film on Fridays - things were so different back then.”

With more than 70 credits to his CV, Kenneth boasts roles in the Carry On films, Doctor Who, Last of the Summer Wine, The Avengers, Genghis Khan and the 1960s satirical show That Was the Week That Was.

Now he's put the flat cap back on and has already caused a stir on the Street, collapsing with a heart attack in front of his beloved cat “Sunny Jim” in his first episode, screened on Monday.

“That scene took us seven takes to get right,” he confided.

“I've bonded with the cat, he was very concerned about me - as I lay on the floor I could feel his paw stroking my face.

“I can't wait to get back there to work with the cat again - he's called Herby in real life - he can have top billing!”
