    Claudia (Rula Lenska)

    Actress Rula Lenska is to film a guest appearance in Coronation Street.

    The 62-year-old Polish countess, who made her name in the late '70s by pretending to be famous in a US haircare advert, will take on the role of Claudia, an old friend of Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).

    A Coronation Street spokesperson this morning told DS: "Rula will play a glamorous friend of Audrey's who she meets up with at a function. She makes Audrey think about her life and what she wants out of it."

    She will film her scenes on Friday, October 16 and will appear on screen in the run-up to Christmas.

    Lenska's other screen credits over the years have included Minder, Footballers' Wives, Casualty and EastEnders, in which she played Frank Butcher's (Mike Reid) girlfriend Krystal in the BBC soap's Spanish special in January 2002.

    Rula Lenska is reportedly being lined-up as the next landlady of the The Rovers Return.

    Coronation Street bosses have reportedly discussed the move after signing the actress up for more appearances as hairdresser Claudia Colby. The Mirror reports that Claudia will discover that current landlady Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) is quitting the Weatherfield boozer next month.

    "Running the pub would be a massive step," an insider told the paper. "But it’s one that has definitely been talked about.

    "Claudia ticks all the boxes for a feisty, no-nonsense landlady of a certain age. She could certainly make a great Rovers boss to follow in Liz's footsteps."

    The 63-year-old's agent added: "They’re talking to us about extending her contract. They really like the character of Claudia. And Rula loves the show and cast. There are some very nice storylines ahead."

    Lenska will make her next appearance in the ITV soap on New Year's Eve.

    Do you think Claudia has set up Marc to chat up Audrey, or will this be a new romance for Audrey?

    Lenska will make her next appearance in the ITV soap on New Year's Eve.

    Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson has insisted that Claudia Colby will not be taking over the reins of the Rovers Return.

    Claudia - played by Rula Lenska - was tipped to become the new landlady of the iconic pub late last year following the announcement that Liz McDonald is leaving the cobbles for good.

    However, speaking to Inside Soap about The Rovers' future, Collinson explained: "Steve still owns the pub and that's not going to change in the foreseeable future. He and Becky are definitely at the heart of it and they're not going anywhere.

    "We will get a new licensee, as that was Liz. It won't be Claudia, though - that was just a silly rumour. I think Rula Lenska is wonderful, but she won't be taking over."

    Collinson also dismissed claims that Sean Tully will tie the knot with ex-lover Marcus Dent on the same day that Prince William and Kate Middleton marry. Antony Cotton - who plays Sean - has also previously denied the rumours.

    Collinson said: "Don't believe everything you read - there'll be no gay wedding on that night. But the residents of the street will definitely be celebrating the wedding of Wills and Kate. It would be a bit odd if you tuned in that day and it wasn't mentioned!"
