Farnworth said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Coronation Street. Having spent my childhood in the North, to be given the opportunity to return and work on such an iconic, popular TV show is a dream and feels like a natural homecoming. I can't wait to tread the cobbles!"
Blackburn added: "Sexy, confident, engaging and yet still with edge and depth, Oliver as an actor has got it all and I can't wait to see Gavin light up our screens."
The characters Callum (Kylie's ex) and Gavin have been tipped to cause fireworks on the cobbles as their respective pasts will no doubt make a big impact on the Platt family over the next few months.
Coronation Street newcomer Oliver Farnworth has said that his character Gavin Rodwell will arrive in Weatherfield with an ulterior motive.
Gavin and Michael (Les Dennis) will come face-to-face later this week following Michael's attempts to track his son down.
However, while Michael fails to be completely honest with his son about his hereditary heart condition, it soon becomes apparent that Gavin is hiding a secret of his own.
Discussing whether there could be a darker side to Gavin, Farnworth said: "He is in financial difficulty. He has bills mounting up, he's unemployed and there's a scene where he is eating beans out of a pan because he just doesn't have any cash.
"Going back to that child in him, perhaps he feels a bit hard done by and feels he is actually owed something.
"As ugly as that is, subconsciously that's what he is feeling. Meeting Michael stirs up a lot of stuff and there is that part inside him that feels like he's owed something from him."
Speaking about Gavin and Michael's first encounter, Farnworth said: "I think Gavin warms to him quite quickly. There's a scene in the Bistro where they meet up and it's quite emotional for both of them.
"There is a bit of ice between them initially but fortunately Gail is there to spur the conversation on. Then they relax a bit, have a beer and see each other for who they are."
Discussing a possible spark between Gavin and Steph Britton, Farnworth added: "I think they do. Again, I think this is weariness that he is in too deep, too soon."

There's an instant attraction between Gavin and Steph

There's an attraction between Gavin and Steph
He added: "To take on board a possible attraction to one of ladies he works with is almost too much for him to comprehend but there is an initial spark, definitely.
"There is trepidation on his part because it's just something else to get tangled up in at this stage."
In earlier info they said he did'nt know anything about cocktails and pretends with the help of Steph. Yet his ex says he's really good with cocktails.
So he does have financial difficulties... Thats his secret. No doubt he will have money for the rovers but not food
Coronation Street delivered an unexpected twist at the end of Friday night's episodes (November 28) as newcomer 'Gavin Rodwell' was revealed to be an impostor.
Oliver Farnworth's character has stolen the identity of the real Gavin and has fooled Michael (Les Dennis) into believing that he is his long-lost son.
While some fans had no doubt guessed that 'Gavin' was up to no good, Corrie bosses managed to avoid any leaks of his big secret before transmission - allowing viewers to have an element of surprise while watching the episode.
Digital Spy caught up with Oliver this week to hear his reaction to the twist and learn who 'Gavin' really is…
How do you feel about this big twist involving your character?
"It's fantastic! Coming into a soap and playing a character like this one is great, because you really hit the ground running. It piques the audience's interest from early on and there's a hell of a lot of scope for where it could go.
"I'm also finding out things myself day by day as to what's happening with my character and what's going to happen next! It really is a storyline that's going to run and run."
When you were doing your early scenes with Les Dennis, did you always know you were playing an impostor?
"Yeah, I knew from the start that 'Gavin' was an impostor, but a lot of the details hadn't been decided upon even at that stage. I had the basic facts but that was all. That was exciting as well, though. It meant that I didn't know some of the details and that helped with the playing of those scenes, because at that point the audience knew nothing either!"
Can you tell us a bit about who your character really is?
"His real name is Andy! Andy is a friend of the real Gavin Rodwell and they share a flat together. The real Gavin has disappeared off and we learn in future episodes that he has messed Andy around quite a bit in the past. That's in terms of relationships, girls and things like that.
"Andy has lost his job, he's got bills mounting up and he's in debt. He's in a bit of a low point in his life at the moment, so when Michael's letter came through, he quite cheekily decided to pretend to be Gavin. Andy thought that Gavin owed him one and he could make a few quid out of it - but he soon falls quickly into Weatherfield life."
Does Andy have a firm plan?
"Absolutely not! Andy is free-wheeling and he's making it up as he goes along. He actually wants to get out of the situation pretty quickly. After a few days, he tries to get out but various things happen. He meets a girl, he's got a job and he's also quite indebted to Michael.
"There is the information about Michael's health that Andy really needs to pass on, so he's in a bit of a limbo. But there is no game plan and he's not particularly malicious or manipulative - he just falls into it."
Is it important to you that the viewers don't just see Andy as a bad guy?
"Absolutely. I liked the idea that there was this unsavoury element to him at first, but now it's been revealed who he really is, I would like the audience to side with him because he does have lots of very good qualities. Andy really doesn't mean any harm on anyone."
Compared to Michael and Gail, Audrey and David have seemed slightly less welcoming towards 'Gavin'! Should he be wary of them?
"I think so! At any given point, Andy's cover could be blown. With the immediate relationship he has with Michael and Gail, they don't want to see any negative side to his character at all. They've invested emotionally in him.
"As time goes on, some of the other characters will start to question things about 'Gavin'. Certain things don't add up in his stories, which makes people more cynical and sceptical. He's really got to be careful!"
Do you play any role in the Platt family's dramatic Christmas?
"I'm there all through it, really! I'm working in the Bistro quite a lot, including on Christmas Day. 'Gavin' is there as a support figure for Michael and he's on the sidelines for Gail as well.
"Because he's not fully invested in the family, and especially not David's side of things, Andy doesn't feel that it's something he can get personally involved in. It's another tangle that he should probably stay out of!"
How did you feel about being thrown straight in with such a well-known soap family?
"I was pretty nervous at first, but that just disappeared after ten minutes! After doing half a scene with them, I realised that everyone is fantastic at their job but really down to earth, helpful and really lovely. There's a great camaraderie there so I feel like I've fitted in really nicely."
Has your previous soap experience on Hollyoaks helped with joining Corrie?
"Definitely. I think people have the shock of their lives when they start on a soap with the speed of it and the way things move along. It also involves doing multi-camera techniques, following instructions and still trying to make the script believable and human. My past experience helped as I definitely knew what I was getting myself into!"
Even though he's slightly dodgy, would you like Andy to have a long-term future on the cobbles?
"Oh definitely! I really, really hope he does."
I find it strange to think of him as Andy now. I like the name Gavin as it's my brother's name.
It sounds like he's a decent sort of chap underneath and I'm glad to hear he's not leaving the cobbles any time soon. It seems that Michael will be in for some disappointment as his real son doesn't sound very nice.
He has impersonated someones long lost son and accepted money from him and his partner and would have taken more if their was not a heart condition involved. I know its hard to dislike the man but Michael genuinely believes he has met his son. He should own up now but looks like he won't.

Ha ha...when you put it like that he does indeed sound like a nasty piece of work. :D
I suppose I softened to him when it became obvious he has a conscience after finding out that Michael's ill. Also, reading the above interview with the actor, it's apparent that "Gavin" only did it out of desperation and because he's been badly treated by the real Gavin. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that Michael will be devastated when he finds out he's been lied to. :(
Perhaps Michael will die soon without ever finding out? I kind of hope that doesn't happen though because Michael started growing on me last night.
don't really care that he is a con artist or what his name just keep on the street long term
Hopefully he will give them the £200 back as soon as he can

What "Gavin" has done is quite cruel and
if they want to keep him.on The Street -
will probably have to rehabilitate him some
way.
Corrie has been called Con-neration because
of number of con-artists there over years.
Michael is at least personable& plausible.
Most of the others have been neither and tho
anyone can be duped- some of the portrayals
have been so.poor they have been patronising
to the dupee and to general intelligence.

They will indeed. I've seen lots of comments online in favour of him sticking around the cobbles, so hopefully the writers will find a plausible way to keep him. If they can keep Tracey around they can keep Gavin, but he does need to be redeemed.
He did make a call to speak to the real Gavin with regards to his father ... might be a start to show he is not rotten to the core ..

Will the real Gavin show up?
I am sure he will. michael should get to meet hos real son
I like to think so :)
It sounds like he's a nasty piece of work though. :(
The real Gavin, Dazzle??? Who do you mean?
The real Gavin, Dazzle??? Who do you mean?
Yeah, I mean the real Gavin sounds nasty. The interview with the actor playing faux Gavin earlier in the thread states that he decided to pretend to be him to get back at the real Gavin, who'd messed him about quite a bit, and that it wasn't malicious.
It was certainly a very bad thing to do, and I feel very sorry for Michael when he finds out, but I get the impression that Andy (faux Gavin) is a decent person who's made a very bad choice rather than an out-and-out baddie.
That doesn't change the fact that Michael will be devastated when he finds out the truth, which is why part of me hopes he dies without ever doing so (especially if his real son is a bit of a b*stard).
Maybe his son wont come in the show and dies early from a heart problem then Gavin has to confess all
Maybe his son wont come in the show and dies early from a heart problem then Gavin has to confess all
I actually love the idea of the real Gavin dying of heart problems before he meets his father, especially if he's a nasty piece of work who would treat Michael badly. Andy could then continue pretending to be him for the foreseeable, making everyone happy for now.
Although I've complained profusely about disliking Michael, he's grown on me recently and I really don't want to see his devastation when he find out he's been conned (that's why I'm dreaming up ways of avoiding that happening).
Of course, this being a soap, it would come out eventually, but I like the idea of Andy being Michael's "son" for the time being at least.
I dont know how he is going to get paid for his work with a false name and NI number etc.
The walls seem to be closing in on Andy, the man who has been posing as Gavin Rodwell for months in Coronation Street.
The friend of Michael's long lost son is facing yet another challenge as the real Gavin's girlfriend Lisa arrives in town.

This is going to take a lot of explaining!
Earlier in the upcoming episode Steph is moaning to Leanne about how distant 'Gavin' has been since they pair got together on New Years.

Despite sharing a passionate kiss he's barely spoken to her since.
Having no idea that he is really Gavin's old friend Andy, Steph is more than a little confused to come face to face with Lisa - Gavin's girlfriend.
Visiting the Bistro looking for her other half, Lisa asks Steph where she can find him while on seeing her, Andy ducks behind the bar to hide.
Not knowing the truth about his true identity Steph is highly confused both with his behaviour and her surprise guest.

It has become clear that Andy's plan to stand in as Gavin has gotten quite out of hand, Oliver Farnworth, who plays the character in the soap told Digital Spy, 'Andy is free-wheeling and he's making it up as he goes along.
'There is no game plan and he's not particularly malicious or manipulative - he just falls into it.
'Andy really doesn't mean any harm on anyone.'
Not so subtle: Andy's explanation for ducking down onto the floor better be good!

Coronation Street bosses are planning to introduce the real Gavin Rodwell.
Former Hollyoaks and Mr Selfridge actor Oliver Farnworth recently joined the soap in the role of Andy, an impostor who is pretending to be Gavin.

Oliver Farnwoth plays Gavin Rodwell
Andy is a friend of Gavin who decided to impersonate him for his own gain, but he could be forced to face the consequences of his actions when the real deal turns up later this year.
Next week's episodes see Andy confide in his love interest Steph Britton about his true identity. However, they soon consider keeping the news to themselves as they believe the shocking truth could prove fatal for Gavin's father Michael, who has a heart condition.
Farnworth told Inside Soap: "With Michael's heart condition, any surprises like this might send him over the edge. So it's going to be really difficult for Andy and Steph - who's now implicated in this - to break the news to him.
"As for the real Gavin, I think we'll be seeing him at some point. Things are set to get very heated indeed between him and Andy."
Farnworth also confirmed that he is sticking with Corrie for "the foreseeable future", indicating that there could still be a place for Andy in Weatherfield once the truth is out.
He added: "There's a lot more intrigue to come and I know there are some exciting things planned over the next few months."
Impostor Andy Carver finds himself being blackmailed on Coronation Street next week after the real Gavin Rodwell returns from his travels.
After months of pretending to be Michael's estranged son, Andy fears the game is up when Gavin (Mark Holgate) arrives back and discovers what he is up to.
Gavin considers revealing the truth to Michael (Les Dennis) but later sees a way to make some quick cash instead, demanding £5,000 from Andy in exchange for his silence. Backed into a corner, Andy decides to steal from the Bistro to come up with the cash...
Here, Oliver Farnworth - who plays Andy - reveals the drama in store once Gavin returns.
Has Andy always known this day would come?
"Yes. Andy knows that at some point he's going to have to address the issue and confront it. He knows he can't live this life forever. I do think Andy had hoped that he wouldn't have to face up to it so soon - I think he was hoping for a bit more time. I also think Andy would have wanted the truth to come out in very different circumstances because Gavin literally just turns up out of the blue, so Andy has no control over the situation at all. Andy is really unprepared!"
How does Gavin's return come about?
"Steph goes round to Andy's flat without him, walks in and Gavin's stood there. He completely takes her by surprise, she's obviously not expecting to see him there! Gavin wants to know who she is so Steph has to do a lot of backtracking and covering up.
"Steph then goes to find Andy to tell him as quickly as possible. She breaks the news and Andy is completely mortified, but the pressing issue is that he has to work fast to cover his tracks. Andy has left payslips from the Bistro with Gavin's name on and the letter from Michael, all lying around the flat because he wasn't expecting Gavin to just turn back up. Andy was expecting Gavin to give him a call to tell him he was coming back from travelling, so he hasn't been covering his tracks."
Would Andy rather carry on living Gavin's life?
"I think he would have carried on living Gavin's life in the short term. He's just started earning some money, he's just settled in the Bistro and he's so happy with Steph. But he knows eventually he would have no choice but to do something about it. Whilst he is enjoying being part of a new family, he also feels so uncomfortable about it. The lie is not pleasant for him and he hates what he's doing to the people around him, even though they are oblivious to it.
"I'm not sure how he would do it, maybe by distancing himself from the family slowly. There's also the fact that Michael has a heart condition and he knows he has to tread carefully around him, so Andy would certainly have wanted to think carefully about how he approached the situation."
What happens when Andy and Gavin come face-to-face again?
"Andy goes back to the flat and tries to appear normal with Gavin and tries to be pally, asking him about his trip and if he enjoyed himself. Gavin very quickly says that his trip was fine, but asks when exactly did he start to work at the Bistro?
"Andy makes up an excuse that he had a problem with the bank, that his account was frozen and he needed a quick fix for the job so just gave Gavin's name. Perhaps that could have worked, had Gavin not also found the letter from Michael too! That's when it really kicks off. Andy can't get out of it at that stage - he's been rumbled."
What does Andy say about the letter?
"He tells Gavin that he received the letter a couple of months back and that he did try to get in touch with Gavin to tell him - which is true, we've seen Andy try and contact Gavin on screen. But then Steph puts her foot in it by telling Gavin that Michael's a really nice man, and Gavin realises that Andy's been in contact with Michael. Things turn nasty at that point!"
Have Andy and Gavin always got on in the past?
"They have quite an interesting relationship in a way. They're almost like brothers would be, they do fight and they mess about and wind each other up but they will always have that friend bond that they've always had. Gavin was a big wind-up merchant and did do some quite bad things to Andy when they were friends. He pinched Andy's girlfriend off him and his jokes and messing around could turn quite dark."
What does Andy do next?
"He's on a complete rollercoaster. On the one hand he feels terrible guilt about what he's done to the people around him, but then there's a huge feeling of sadness and loss that he's going to potentially have to leave this family he's found, and I think that will cause him a lot of sorrow."
What happens when Gavin comes into The Rovers?
"Andy is on eggshells. He thinks this is it, that Gavin has come to spill the beans. Instead, Gavin tells Andy and Steph that he'll keep quiet about who he really is, in exchange of £5,000. By this point their friendship is well out of the window and Gavin gives Andy a chance to cut all ties. Gavin doesn't care about Michael - he's grown to really hate him and I think a lot of that has to do with the stories his mum has told him throughout the years. He genuinely doesn't care about getting to know his dad, he just wants the money.
"This malicious side of Andy comes out even more when he says maybe he will introduce himself to Michael after all. Gavin and Steph have to beg him not to because of Michael's heart condition. Andy's really worried by this. Gavin is calling all the shots and Andy really has no control over the situation."
Why does Andy decide that a fake mugging will solve his problems?
"It's an off the cuff decision - they don't really have much of a choice. Nick's given Andy the banking to do and Andy realises he's holding a big wad of cash and it could be the answer to their problem. Andy tells Steph that the Bistro will be insured against this kind of thing and who would ever query it?
"Andy disappears with the money and comes back a couple of hours and tells Steph he can't go through with it. Steph tells him he has to, as Nick will want to know why he hasn't done the banking. They are committed to the idea then and Steph gives him a few more digs to make it look as though he's been attacked."
Can Andy keep this up until Gail and Michael's wedding day?
"Andy still has to find another couple of grand to top up the money from the Bistro to give to Gavin and he is just beside himself with worry. He doesn't know what he's going to do or how he's going to find the money. So actually I think the worry is that if they don't find the money in time before the wedding, Gavin will blow Andy's cover for him."
How far would Andy go to keep this situation under wraps?
"I think he'd go a long way, to protect Michael and the family. The scrapes he's already got himself into prove how far he's willing to go! He's not doing this for any self-gain now, he wants to protect Michael and he knows that any stress to him could cause him serious harm. I think ultimately everything Andy is doing is plotting how he's going to get out of this with damage limitation to the people around him."
What has been the best thing about playing Andy so far?
"Getting beaten up by Tisha?! (Laughs.) The best bit has been the situation Andy arrived in. He has really been in the hub of the Street and he's interacted with a lot of different people in Weatherfield. It's meant that I've been able to work a lot with the Platts, which has been amazing, as well as in the Rovers and the Bistro. He's integrated well onto the Street."

It is a shame the real Gavin is being killed off so soon, he is a good actor and could be a decent nasty villain on the show
Coronation Street's Andy Carver will find his relationship with Steph Britton hitting the rocks next week as the pressure of his double life takes its toll.
As Andy (Oliver Farnworth) struggles with the enormity of the lies he has told, he starts to find his romance with Steph (Tisha Merry) being affected too.
When Andy suggests that he moves away from Weatherfield and starts afresh on his own, Steph is furious and they have a row.
A deeply hurt Steph soon calls time on their relationship, before confiding in her brother Luke how Andy has been leading a double life and masquerading as Michael's son Gavin.
Furious, Luke struggles to hide his feelings on the matter and marches across the street to find Andy, where he hits him.

Maria makes a shock decision
However, Luke's violent actions horrify Maria and she soon makes a shock decision about their future together.
Coronation Street airs these scenes next week on ITV.
Coronation Street’s Oliver Farnworth has confirmed he’s sticking around in Weatherfield even though his character’s identity scam has been exposed.
It’s all kicking off at the moment because Michael Rodwell now knows that Oliver’s alter ego, Andy Carver, is not really his son Gavin.
Some fans have wondered where this leaves Andy and his future, but Oliver says he’s sticking around.
Speaking to us, he said: “I’m staying for the foreseeable future, I’ve got a rolling contract. “I hope that there’s longevity with the character, that he’s struck a chord with the audience looking at both sides of the story.
“Certainly from the feedback that I have had it seems people are onboard with him, but then this is soap and things can change at the click of your fingers.” For now all eyes are on September’s live episode and Oliver says he still doesn’t know whether he’ll be involved, but he hopes so.
He added: “I don’t know if I’m involved in the live episode yet, I’d love to be because it’s like theatre and I’ve done a lot of that in the past.
“As an actor to say you have been a part of a Coronation Street love episode is massive.
“But Corrie is a big cast, I think there’s about 70 of us, and there will be storylines reaching a peak at that time, so I don’t know if I’ll be involved.”

They are addictive, but then I find that with the other soaps I watch too. The only one I've ever stopped watching out of choice was EE when it went through its really low patch in 2013. I'm as addicted to it as ever now! :D
I used to watch so many soaps but its hard to keep up. Then particular storylines put you off so then one by one I gave them up and now only watch Coronation Street. I did watch EE during who killed Lucy live episodes. They were really good.

Ladies please - you are sounding a right pair
of " fast cats" **. I would suggest sending they
Fire Brigade round to cool you down - but
that would probably just cause more fantasies!!!

any woman showing an interest in a man
that she was not bound to in"Holy Deadlock"

Tch! This is all getting very sexist. Men are not just sex objects you know.
Perhaps we can get back to the important things...like Alya for example.

Coronation Street star Oliver Farnworth has been granted a seven-week break from the soap.
The actor is following in the footsteps of his on-screen fake dad Les Dennis by taking time off for a new theatre project.
Farnworth, who plays Andy Carver in Corrie, will join Dennis in a production of Alan Bleasdale's Down The Dock Road at Liverpool's Royal Court theatre.
The show runs from March 11 to April 9 and a Coronation Street spokesperson told Digital Spy that Farnworth will be away from filming for seven weeks.
Dennis, meanwhile, will be off for six weeks.
Coronation Street spoiler – Andy Carver’s New Year’s Eve suicide?
It looks like Coronation Street’s Andy Carver is going to consider not seeing in the new year as he plots his suicide this festive season.
The Weatherfield resident is consumed with guilt over his attack on Pat Phelan and as Christmas draws closer he’s forced to come up with a plan to avoid being landed in trouble with the police.
Needing money as he desperately tries to avoid the police learning about his attack on Phelan he spots a box of tablet computers Steph Britton has accidentally ordered to the bistro and decides to steal them.
Later, having discovered the burglary, Robert Preston suspends Steph, pointing out there’s no sign of a break-in and it was her job to lock up.
An upset Steph tells Andy she’s thinking of handing in her notice as she clearly can’t be trusted to be in charge leaving Andy consumed with guilt.
As Christmas draws closer Andy starts to suffer headaches and to appease Steph he agrees to go to the doctors, but whilst the doctor is distracted, he steals some painkillers from her emergency bag.
Later, Andy mixes the stolen painkillers with gin and orange making a lethal cocktail that will leave fans wondering whether he’s planning to kill himself.
Andy’s scared witless as he questions his future on the street. Desperate to get away,he phones a mate in Newcastle and asks him if he can crash on his floor.
Whilst Steph, Tracy and Luke celebrate New Year in the bistro, Andy slips out. Will he make his getaway or end his life?
Watch the action unfold from December 19.

Coronation Street Spoilers - CONFIRMED!! Oliver Farnworth is leaving his role as Andy Carver!
:(
I think the right characters are leaving if steph and luke are going as well. I would love if Tracy left
so he too won't see or be part of phelan finally getting his comeuppance
shame to lose andy he was nice to look at

Agree but the last storyline about him being a writer and going out as a zombie were clear that they had run out of decent storylines for him
so he too won't see or be part of phelan finally getting his comeuppance
shame to lose andy he was nice to look at
Well, he is putting Phelan in hospital for a bit, sending clear signal that he knows that Phelan is responsible for Michael´s death and the scam ... Phelan will know that even if nobody else realises it
They ruined his character at the end
