    Keith Barron joins Corrie

    Former Duty Free actor Keith Barron has joined the cast of Coronation Street in a regular role.

    The 71-year-old actor – who appeared as David Pearce in the Spanish hotel-based ITV sitcom – will play George Trench, a charmer who arrives for the funeral of Norris Cole's (Malcolm Hebden) ex-wife, Angela.

    A Weatherfield insider told The Mirror: "It's a fair bet Rita and Blanche will battle it out for his attention."

    Barron – who is said to be "thrilled" with his part – filmed his first scenes on location yesterday and will be seen on screen next month.

    Brilliant news! He is a great actor and he's got a great part too.

    Poor Norris though.

    Haha I misread that then.. thought it said for Norris's funeral Glad it's not.

    Anywho, never heard of him, but sounds like he'll be okay. Can't be any worse that the last new arrivals (The Mortons).
