Debzyg (12-02-2013)
Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine has revealed marriage could be on the cards for Fiz and Tyrone, even if he ends up in prison.
Tyrone Dobbs faces a tough battle to clear his name next week as he undergoes a week-long trial over his ex-fiancée Kirsty Soames's false abuse allegations.
However, McAlpine has said that prison did not stand in the way of Fiz marrying before.
"Tyrone's been married once to Molly and almost married Kirsty. Fiz got married in prison, so maybe they could," she said to TV Extra.
"It's not going to be easy. I don't know what they're going to do."
McAlpine has also admitted that whilst she believes Fiz has finally chosen the right man in Tyrone, it is always going to be difficult for them.
"Although I think she's chosen the right man this time, a couple of years ago I would have said she's not very good at choosing the right path in life. And even now she's not taking the most straightforward route.
"Tyrone is lovely but there's a lot of baggage hanging over him!"
Coronation Street's trial storyline kicks off next Monday (March 25) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
Except we know he's not going to prison...
He is in prison already ;)
Jennie McAlpine has said she is honoured that her on-screen relationship has been compared to that of iconic couple Jack and Vera Duckworth.
The actress's alter ego Fiz Stape has finally reinstated her relationship with Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), who recently faced a trial after being accused of domestic abuse by his former fiancée Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede).
McAlpine has admitted that she finds it ''amazing'' fans have warmed to them so much and seen similarities between the two couples.
''That is such a huge compliment when people say that. Me and Alan learned our jobs watching Liz Dawn and Bill Tarmey, so to be compared to them is the biggest compliment anyone could give us", she said to OK magazine.
''If we can be a fraction as good as them, that's an amazing thing. No one could take Jack and Vera's place, though.''
Fiz and Tyrone previously dated in the ITV soap over a decade ago and McAlpine admitted that she is enjoying filming their on-screen romance again.
''I suppose there are worse things in the world than going to work and kissing Britain's best actor!" she said. "Alan always makes me laugh and we're so used to it now that it doesn't even cross our minds as odd.''
^ Who is comparing them to Jack and Vera exactly?
Coronation Street's Alan Halsall has affirmed comparisons of Tyrone Dobbs's romance with Fiz Stape to that of veteran Corrie characters Jack and Vera Duckworth.
Halsall, who portrays Halsall in the ITV soap, was speaking to PA (via Yahoo!) when he said he understood why people saw the similarity in the couples' relationships.
Halsall said: "I know how people put two and two together comparing them to Jack and Vera [Duckworth], because I know Vera was the dominant one in that relationship and I'm sure Fiz will be."
The 30-year-old, who is expecting a baby girl with wife Lucy-Jo Hudson, added that Tyrone and Fiz had "a real history", which for the time being has a happy ending now that Tyrone's partner Kirsty Soames has been exposed as an abuser.
"Fiz can be quite wild, and Tyrone was originally. He was sort of a bad lad and it was Jack and Vera that put him on the straight and narrow, so there's all sort of potential for the writers there in terms of them doing comedy, or things getting a bit wild.
"They have been together on and off at least two or three times already," Halsall continued. "Fiz is a great character and it's brilliant because there's a chemistry there and they've both got the kids with Hope and baby Ruby. We're having a lot of fun, actually."
Speaking about his off-screen relationship with McAlpine, Halsall added: "I love working with Jennie. She's a very, very funny person off set and on set."
Halsall also admitted that he "loves" not knowing what's coming next when it comes to playing Tyrone.
"I just wait for the scripts to come through and see what the character will be doing next," he said. "That's part of the love of the job for me."
shocking storyline in works for them
When Tyrone receives an anonymous text he automatically thinks it's from the newly released Kirsty - little does he know it's actually from Maria!
Fiz, Tyrone and Maria - Coronation Street - ITV
When Tyrone shows the text to Maria, she pretends she knows nothing about it and comforts him, secretly knowing it was her that had sent the text.
– Alan Halsall who plays Tyrone
"When it comes to Kirsty, Tyrone will always be fearful." Says Alan.
"She’s a dark part of his past that still haunts him and the thought that she might return and begin her mind games again is terrifying for Tyrone.
"I think Tyrone would be shocked and appalled that his friend would put him through so much. He trusts Maria and I think he would feel completely betrayed."
"Maria’s in a dark place and isn’t thinking straight. She’s deluded when she thinks her and Tyrone would be happy together...
"I think this is going to end very badly for Maria. She’s playing with peoples lives and that’s never going to end well is it?"
