Coronation Street's Sean Tully and Jason Grimshaw are about to embark on their first ever plotline in the soap together, Mirror.co.uk can reveal.

And actors Anthony Cotton and Ryan Thomas revealed to us that the plot would be "comedy" - as well as being "romantic!"

Since his real-life girlfriend Tina O'Brien's departure from Corrie, there had been rumours that Ryan's future on the show could be in doubt.

However, now it seems he's staying in Weatherfield for a good while yet - though exactly WHAT the pair's storyline entails is still a bit of a mystery.

Ryan explained: "I think it's going to be a bit of comedy, but at the end there's going to be a bit of drama."

Anthony added: "It's going to be really, really funny. It's like a comedy of errors - for Ryan. It's funny to everyone else apart from Jason, haha."

Anthony continued: "I've literally just done the first set-up scenes. I'm really looking forward to it because I adore Ryan. And it will mean we're going out on location. Away from the cobbles! I can't really say anymore though."

Ryan interrupted: "It is going to be romantic too, haha!"

Corrie bosses have confirmed they are talking to actress Shobna Gulati about returning to the show as Dev's wife Sunita Alahan - but no contract has been signed.

Sunita left Coronation Street in 2006, just after giving birth to twins, when she found out that Dev had several children with different women.

A show spokesman said: "Talks have been going on, but nothing has been signed and sealed."

We will let you know if, or when, Sunita's return is finalised!

CORRIE’S Maria Connor is set to give birth on a beach — with her husband’s killer acting as midwife.

Evil Tony Gordon takes Maria for a long walk to hurry up the overdue baby’s arrival.

But it works too well — and he is forced to deliver the little boy himself in the scenes filmed yesterday.

Maria — played by Samia Smith, 26 — has no idea that Tony ordered the killing of her husband Liam after discovering his affair with wife Carla.

The knicker factory boss has now started to fall in love with Maria.

He takes her for a stroll after Eileen Grimshaw tells her: “There’s nothing better than a bracing walk to hurry up baby’s arrival.”

But as Tony chases her dog Ozzy with a frisbee, Maria doubles up in pain and screams for help.

Her words are carried away with the wind and by the time he returns, her contractions are getting fast.

They have no mobile phone signal and Tony tries to run for help — but Maria begs him to stay.

He is forced to carry her, saying: “Everything will be OK, but we’ve got to get off this beach now. So just try to relax and enjoy the ride.”

But soon she is in the final stages of labour. The terrified widow, who lost her first baby last year, screams: “I’ve nothing left Tony. I can’t do it.”

But he kisses her on the head, saying: “You have to keep going Maria — for the baby’s sake. Do it for Liam.”

Maria names the little boy after his dad.

Tony — played by Gray O’Brien, 40 — quips: “As seaside souvenirs go, he certainly beats a stick of rock.”

Filming in Ainsdale, Lancs, was interrupted by frequent low-flying RAF aircraft yesterday.

But the cast soldiered on, armed with hot water bottles, deckchairs and large coats.

The scenes are set to air in late June.

Another two Coronation Street characters are to be written out of the show, Digital Spy can confirm.

Darryl Morton and Vicki Dankowska - played by Jonathan Dixon and Wanda Opalinska - will bow out of the show later this year owing to "natural story progression".

Meanwhile, Nikki Patel (below), who portrays Dev Alahan's (Jimmi Harkishin) daughter Amber Kalirai, will now appear on an "episodic" basis as opposed to an ongoing contractual one. Her storyline will see Amber leave for university in September and make numerous reappearances thereafter.

However, reports claiming that Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland) it to be written out of the Weatherfield soap are unfounded as he recently signed another contract to remain with the show for at least another year.

A spokeswoman for the soap this afternoon told DS: "Some characters will be leaving Coronation Street later this year as part of natural story progression. Characters have always come and gone in Weatherfield, some stay for years, others pass through. This is not about cost cutting it is about storytelling."

Dixon, 20, joined Corrie in March 2007 and is now the only remaining original member of the Morton family - most of whom were axed last year. Polish actress Opalinska, meanwhile, first appeared on the Street in February 2007 and has mainly served as a background character at local knicker factory Underworld.

Other recent or upcoming storyline-based departures include Sharon Duce (Paula Carp), Sophiya Haque (Poppy Morales), Pattie Clare (Mary Taylor), Edward de Souza (Colin Grimshaw), Ayesha Dharker (Tara Mandal) and Andrew Sachs (Ramsay Clegg).

In March, Philip McGinley was written out of the show as his character Tom Kerrigan had 'run his course'.

awww Wikis leaving
Im surprised darryls going to uni though but kinda not surprised. Glad him and amber are leaving together though

[Scarlett.]

Aye, plus they will come back every now and again =D

[BigSister]

oh so is Darryl the same as Amber then?. I thought he was leaving for good

[JOSHUAH!]

It says only Nikki Patel will come back on that basis, which means she will be the only one to 'come back every now and then'.

I'm so angry though - Amber is a great character. First Tara, now they are demoting Amber - theres no way she can have any storylines if shes going to be on screen once a month or something.

Coronation St. is getting WORSE!

Bread maker Warburtons has been announced as the first brand partner for Coronation Street's 50th anniversary marketing lineup.

The 12-month deal will see the launch of a promotional calendar at the end of the year and allows ongoing use of the official anniversary graphics and artwork on products and all advertising platforms.

Official show sponsor Harveys, meanwhile, will "remain at the centre of all activities" over the anniversary year.

ITV's director of promotions and new business Corine Pouvreau Miles said: "Coronation Street's and Warburtons' brand values and popularity are perfectly aligned; both loved and embedded in the fabric of Britons' lives. The promotional calendar will feature as an integrated part of the overall 2010 celebrations, across all platforms and outdoors."

She continued: "Coronation Street's official sponsor Harveys will remain at the centre of all activities around the celebration, and we look forward to announcing further promotional partners in the lead-up to summer 2010."

Warburtons' marketing director Richard Hayes said of the deal: "As Britain's favourite baker, Warburtons is delighted to be working with the one of the UK's most-loved TV programmes. Coronation Street and Warburtons combine proud Northern roots with wide national appeal and our shared family values make for a strong partnership."

He added: "We will be working closely with Coronation Street and our fellow partner brands to deliver an engaging, integrated marketing campaign to celebrate the 50th Anniversary."

As previously reported, marketing activity surrounding the Weatherfield soap's milestone year is based on the 'Best of British' theme.

Other ventures include a Coronation Street Nintendo DS game and an official beer, while ideas such as tea sets and lingerie are also being explored.
