At least she is honest about it which is a rare thing these days.

Who is honest?

Coronation Street star Shayne Ward has revealed that Carla Connor's comeback storyline is even being kept secret from the cast.

Show bosses recently delighted fans by announcing that Alison King is making a return as Carla, who was last seen in Weatherfield in May 2016.

Shayne's character Aidan will be reunited with his half-sister when Carla arrives back at Christmas, but the actor still has no idea what to expect.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media at a Coronation Street press day, Shayne enthused: "I'm very excited about Carla coming back – we all are. No-one knows what is going to happen when she comes back, and I like that it's a secret.

"For me personally, she is one of the most captivating actresses I've ever watched on screen. She was in my first scene with Ben Price and she just made me feel so relaxed.

"That is what I've loved about my two years of being here at Corrie – as much work as we have to do, every actor makes you feel so relaxed and if I am struggling with how to deliver a certain line, I don't feel embarrassed whereas I would have once.

"I learn every day. Ali helped me with that from the get-go and she helped me a hell of a lot."

Corrie's producer Kate Oates has vowed to take Carla in a new direction when she returns – which will include some unexpected tension with Michelle.

"It's time to break new ground with Carla. I didn't want to put her on that familiar cycle of self-destruction, recovery, followed by more self-destruction," Kate told Radio Times last month.

"What we'll have instead are these two strong Connor women – Carla and Michelle – on opposing sides and in conflict for a change. It'll be a refreshing dynamic for us to see."

According to Coronation street boss Kate Oates, the character Carla Connor (Alison King) is about to turn all of her wrongs into rights on the highly-rated soap Coronation Street. As a matter of fact, Alsion says that she wants to see her character end her destructive and ongoing tale of misery with a much more uplifting and positive storyline.

As many fans know, Carla has been done wrong one too many times already. And for her, enough is enough already. It’s time for change. Kate told Britain’s Metro.co.uk, “The storyline that we’ve got for Carla will show a different side to her and play a very different tone. I think people might think that it is an interesting choice and wonder why Corrie is playing this. But I’d say to give it a few weeks and months because it does lead into something else and it will make a lot of sense.”
Of course, fans will have to simply tune in to see what’s in store for Carla. And while Kate has remained rather tight lipped about Carla’s comeback, she did say that if there’s one thing that won’t change for her, it’s her relationship with Roy Cropper. After all, he is the one true friend she’s ever had at home.

Kate added, “The Carla and Roy friendship is sacrosanct and no-one is ever allowed to touch it forever. But I am really happy to be revisiting that and it’s interesting for Johnny because Roy has always been more of a father to Carla and he is in a position now where he is going to have all of his three children in his life for a longer period of time – and I think he is going to get a bit of dad jealousy!”

I hope they are not going to make Roy an idiot. It is hardly Roy's style to say something confidential to all as he did yesterday

When Carla comes home, some fans may question the direction of her return storyline warns show boss Kate Oates. She has revealed that the plot will be a big surprise and will show a new side to Carla. But something that won’t change is her close bond with father figure Roy – which is set to make Johnny jealous

Oates Alison's return storyline, revealing that it is not what the audience may presume.

"Carla's comeback storyline is good," she added. "I don't think it's what people would expect.

"It's a storyline that's got long-running consequences.

"I think when she first comes back, people will be like, 'Oh, I didn't expect this to be her returning story,' but as it runs on, things will become clear and they will realise why Corrie has brought her back."

Coronation Street: Carla to be Kate’s confidant when she returns, says Faye Brookes
The Corrie star teases Carla's Christmas comeback and Connor family reunion
Carla Connor will be thrust straight back into the spotlight when she returns to Coronation Street next month, and is set to become embroiled with sister Kate’s secret relationship with Rana Nazir.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Faye Brookes, who plays lovestruck Kate, teased Carla’s involvement in her character’s controversial love story with the married nurse once she’s back on the cobbles.
“Carla will be a confidant for Kate, 100 per cent” revealed the actress. “After all the drama that’s happened to Carla, I don’t think that she is going to judge! Out of everyone, she’s the one Kate is going to turn to.”
Alison King recently resumed filming on the Corrie set after an 18-month break as the popular factory boss, following a decade of high drama that included several failed marriages, miscarriage, murders and general emotional mayhem.
And while life off screen is obviously not as traumatic for the Connor women, Brookes reveals her reunion behind the scenes with King is still pretty lively. “Alison, Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) and I are sharing a dressing room at the moment, and it is havoc! We have a really good relationship on and off screen and it’s nice to have Ali back. She said it has been so easy to return.”
Kate and Rana’s forbidden romance is currently at the centre of the show, with Luke Britton now in on the secret. Next week, when pushed by Luke to stop stringing Kate along, Rana reveals she is pregnant – but no one, not even husband Zeedan, knows.
Looks like Carla and Kate are going to have a lot of catching up to do when she reappears in the run-up to Christmas…

Not him .. she has a fling with Daniel ...


Coronation Street's Carla Connor will embark on a shock fling with Daniel Osbourne when she returns to Weatherfield later this month.

Alison King is reprising her popular role as Carla after 18 months away, with her comeback scenes airing on Friday, December 22.

Not only is Carla hiding a huge secret from her loved ones upon her return, but The Sun has now revealed that her colourful love life is about to rear its head once again.

This time, it's reportedly Daniel Osbourne who catches Carla's eye — leaving his brother Peter unsettled when he hears what the pair have been up to.

Long-term viewers will know that Peter and Carla share a long and complicated history – making her latest fling all the more controversial.

Kate Oates recently teased a surprise new romance for Daniel, saying: "She's unexpected. I think that people will go, 'Oh! That's a slightly crazy pairing!' I don't want to give too much away.

"It's one of those slightly unusual dynamics where, if you think about it, you can see what each of them is getting out of the relationship, but on paper you might think, 'Oh, that's a surprise'.

"But I would encourage the viewers who are wrong-footed by it, in a way that they are uncomfortable with it, to think about what each character might be getting out of this little fling and it will hopefully make more sense."

Alison also teased a shock love interest for Carla upon her Christmas comeback — teasing that it could all be part of a wider agenda.

"There is someone she has a little fling with, but she is a bit like a cat with a mouse playing with him", she said.

"It's something to do, it's not a big romance, and she also has another agenda for setting her sights on this person."
