Julie Carp and Brian Packham
Coronation Street couple Julie Carp and Brian Packham will become UFO spotters in a forthcoming storyline, a report has claimed.
The eccentric pair, played by Katy Cavanagh and Peter Gunn, find a new shared interest in the coming weeks when they think they have seen strange objects overhead, according to the Daily Star.
It is thought that Julie and Brian soon spring into action and start keeping watch on the skies in the light-hearted plotline.
Brian apparently takes the lead in the new project, telling Julie that he is a "respected expert" in the field of UFO landings.
Meanwhile, Julie soon gets caught in the moment, grabbing Brian and admitting: "This UFO spotting business is really turning me on."
A Coronation Street source told the newspaper: "This could only happen to Julie."
Julie and Brian reunited on screen in the summer.
Coronation Street's Katy Cavanagh: 'More to discover about Julie'
Coronation Street star Katy Cavanagh has revealed that she would like to delve deeper into the "vulnerable" side of her character Julie Carp.
Julie is heading for heartbreak over the next fortnight, as her relationship with Brian Packham breaks down when they are forced to accept that they want different things.
Peter Gunn, who plays Brian, has left the ITV soap and his final scenes air next week.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine this morning (December 10), Cavanagh explained: "She's so in love with him, or in love with her idea of who she wants him to be, and she's not really dealing with the reality of Brian. I don't think she's ever really dealt with the reality of Brian!"
Asked whether Julie will feature more on screen as a consequence of the story, the actress replied: "You never know. We never get told anything. But I hope so. I think there's a lot more that you could discover about her.
"It'd be nice to see her behind closed doors a little bit, because I think there's a real vulnerability to her. I think she's lonely and I think she wants a family. She wants to be part of something."
Cavanagh also discussed the upcoming on-screen exit of Julie Hesmondhalgh's terminally-ill character Hayley Cropper, who will end her own life in January in a 'right to die' storyline.
She said: "It's honestly been real. We're all still grieving. We miss her so much. The funeral, because we've shot all that now, was heartbreaking."
