From DS

Former Bad Girls actor Jack Ellis has joined the case of Coronation Street as Weatherfield's new bookie on the block.

The 52-year-old – who played G-Wing's twisted screw Jim Fenner for six years – will appear alongside ex-The Bill actor Matthew Crompton (PC Sam Harker) as father and son, Harry and Dan Mason.

The pair are to run the Rosamund Street betting shop, a new set for which has just been built at Manchester's Granada Studios.

A source for the soap told DS: "It'd be a fair bet to say that Harry and Dan both have a roving eye for the ladies. However, they're always sailing close to the wind as far as the law is concerned."

Ellis is due to begin filming for the ITV soap tomorrow and will first appear on screen on Monday, December 3.

I am really happy he's joined the Corrie cast - he's an excellent actor who played a wonderful role in Bad Girls. I can't wait to see him on screen again! :)

Just when I thought I might stop watching Corrie they bring in Jack Ellis, top actor.
