Love it! :rotfl:
This is all getting too much. Too over the top. I wish Liz knew and could give her advice like she did to Johnny. Dont let a blackmailer have a hold of you in this way, come clean yourself
Carla you should not put your trust in Tracy or give her money as she will only ask for more and tell nick everything anyway
This story is getting ridiculous!!!!! Best way to deal with a blackmailier is expose them and come clean about what they have on you. Thats less of an evil. My friend was being blackmailed for £3,000 once a guy threatened to tell her family she was involved with a man after she left her husband who was violent. At one stage. She ended up in a refuge. Anyway i made her tell her father then took her straight to the police to report him. Sorted
Coronation Street star Alison King has revealed that she is still in the dark over her character Carla Connor's exit storyline, but hints that her impending wedding to Nick could end in tears.
The popular actress revealed earlier this year that she has chosen to quit the show for good. Up until that point, it was thought that she was simply taking a break.
While the soap's bosses have already sown the seeds for Carla's upcoming departure, King has admitted that she still doesn't know how it will play out and won't be filming the scenes for a while.
Speaking about her exit, she said: "I am not entirely sure of the exact details as yet. It is a good few months before we even film them so I am working on the scripts that build up to it. I am intrigued as to how it is going to play out."
However, fans shouldn't worry as there is plenty of drama in store for Carla before she heads out of Weatherfield, including her impending wedding to Nick Tilsley, which is set to be an action-packed event.
Carla cheated on Nick over the Christmas period by having a one-night stand with Robert Preston, but with her fiance currently in the dark over her infidelity, it looks like their nuptials could go ahead.
Discussing her character's big day, King said: "The wedding is going to be quite understated - it is her fourth time so it is more low key.
"I am thrilled it is going to be at the Bistro so we don't have to be on location for days! But whilst the wedding might be understated and low key, the drama definitely won't be!
"She will interestingly [wear a white dress]. It possibly should have been black, but no she goes for white. Again, it's quite understated and I have been involved in the choosing of the dress."
Carla might be planning a long-term future with Nick, but she has a big obstacle in her way - she is being blackmailed by a vengeful Tracy Barlow.
Tracy knows all about Carla's tryst with Robert and is making her pay for it, but just how much more of Tracy's scheming can Carla take?
King said: "If it wasn't about Nick, Carla would have snapped before now. She would be snapping Tracy's head off.

"But the stakes are too high for her. I am sure at some point though Tracy might just tip her over the edge. This is a very different Carla we are seeing at the moment so it remains to be seen just how far Tracy can push her.
"There is this one big secret and if Tracy blows it then it could be the end of this life that Carla wants with Nick. If Carla had told Nick straight away then maybe she would not be in this position now and they could have moved on from it, but as time goes on it gets more difficult to come clean which means that Tracy holds all the cards and she knows that."

Can Carla escape Tracy's evil schemes and ride off into the sunset with Nick?
Alison King hints at all the drama to come!
How worried is Carla that Tracy holds the key to destroying her life?
Yes there is this one big secret and if Tracy blows it then it could be the end of the life that Carla wants with Nick. If Carla had told Nick straight away then maybe she would not be in this position now and they could have moved on from it, but as time goes on it gets more difficult to come clean which means that Tracy holds all the cards and she knows that.
Is she desperate to get away from the Street because of Tracy, or does she feel like she’s being forced out of her home?
She is the sort of person who likes the idea of starting afresh. She has left the Street before when things have got too much for her but this time Tracy is forcing her hand. She loves Nick so much that she doesn’t want to lose him and this is the only thing she can think of. It is harder too for her to go this time as she has family on the street that she cares about.
There’s drama at the factory this week – how difficult is it for Carla not to get involved?
She has completely taken her eye off the ball at the factory. Aidan wants to prove that he can do it without her, it is her achilles heel and her precious thing but she knows she has got to let it go eventually so her only way of dealing with that is to let it go now and not be such a part of it.
If Tracy continues to blackmail her, is there a risk that Carla will snap?
Maybe at the moment she just thinks it would be easier to walk away - if it wasn’t about Nick she would have snapped before now, she would be snapping her head off. But the stakes are too high for her. I am sure at some point though Tracy might just tip her over the edge, this is a very different Carla we are seeing at the moment so it remains to be seen just how far Tracy can push her.
Does it pain Carla that this situation is slipping further and further out of her control?
Yes it does, it infuriates her, she is not someone who is used to being the underdog - to have someone else having the upper hand.
Do you think a quiet life in the country is what Carla really wants, though?
I think anywhere with Nick would be great and she sees it as an exciting possibility. It is a nice idea or ideal but in reality I am not sure it would be enough for her. She does tend to thrive off drama but maybe she thinks this time the quiet life is a better option.
Will she be sad to leave Weatherfield if it gets that far?
She has found happiness with Nick and he is the key. She thinks that as long as she is with him then leaving Weatherfield will be ok.
If you were Carla’s friend, what advice would you give her?
I would tell her to tell Nick and take the power away from Tracy, without power blackmailers are nothing. She would have to cope with the fallout from Nick but I would hope they could work through it and come out the other side. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing Carla tell Tracy to get lost. I would tell Carla to throw herself at Nick’s mercy.
How are you feeling as you move closer to leaving the show?
Calm, a bit sick, excited, for me it is about saying goodbye to some amazing people who I Iove working with, both cast and crew. I am ready to say farewell to Carla but I will miss everybody here.
Were you pleased when you found out what your leaving story would be?
I am not entirely sure of the exact details as yet. It is a good few months before we even film them so I am working on the scripts that build up to it and am intrigued as to how it is going to play out.
Are you pleased that Tracy and Carla’s feud has become such a classic Corrie rivalry?
I couldn’t be more pleased as Kate Ford is a joy to work with, we have great fun. I guess they have wanted to create a rivalry a bit like Ken and Mike’s from all those years ago and hopefully we have been able to deliver.
Are you eyeing up any souvenirs from the set to take with you?
Half the clothes are mine anyway so I will be packing a suitcase! I would love some of the quote plaques from the Bistro but I doubt I would get away with pinching them - and of course I would love to take Nick Tilsley!
Can you give us any sneaky hints from what to expect from Carla and Nick’s wedding?
The wedding is going to be quite understated - it is her fourth time so it is more low key, I am thrilled it is going to be at the Bistro so we don’t have to be on location for days! But whilst the wedding might be understated and low key the drama definitely won’t be!
Will Carla be wearing white again?!
She will interestingly - it possibly should have been black but no, she goes for white, again quite understated and I have been involved in the choosing of the dress.

her last filming was today
Alison King has been paid an emotional goodbye after filming her final scenes on Coronation Street.
The actress shocked the soap world recently by announcing she was leaving the show, and today was her last day on set.
King was applauded by the cast and crew members after wrapping up filming.
The likes of Ryan Thomas, Daniel Brocklebank and Jane Danson also paid tribute to the actress as she exits the soap.

Coronation Street is preparing for an explosive week if this new trailer is anything to go by.
An episode will be shown each night, following the lives of the cobble's residents over 24 hours as Carla Connor prepares to marry Nick Tilsley and Callum Logan's body is unearthed.
Watch a hint of the action here:
https://www.facebook.com/CoronationStreet/videos/10153886747062659/
Carla is shown apprehensive ahead of her nuptials to Nick, worried that a vengeful Tracey Barlow will reveal her fling with Robert Preston.
Lucky she's got her dad Johnny on hand who won't let Tracey ruin the wedding. Also a sweet Roy is preparing to walk her down the aisle alongside her bridesmaids.
But Carla may be about to reveal all to Nick herself, as she asks to speak to him as they stand at the altar making their vows.
These will be Carla's last scenes on the soap, but what the circumstances are of her departure, we just don't know.
Away from the bride and groom's problems, Nick's grandma Audrey Roberts tempts fate as she tells other grandson David Platt at the reception: "I don't see how things can get much worse..."
Cue the arrival of police on Coronation Street as Callum's body is discovered and David tells his fellow accomplices Kylie and Sarah Platt: "We need to get out now."
It's going to be one hell of an exciting week on the cobbles.

Coronation Street: Alison King on her explosive exit - "It's Carla pressing self destruct"
The actress's final week in Weatherfield sees Carla's wedding day arrive - but will she marry Nick?
http://images.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Coronation_Street__Alison_King_on_her_explosive_ex it____It_s_Carla_pressing_self_destruct_.jpg?quali ty=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/108365.jpg
Weddings very rarely go to plan on soaps and the odds aren't looking good for Carla and Nick, especially with the bride to be harbouring a shock infidelity secret and the groom wrestling with a brain injury.
These being Alison King's final Corrie episodes, viewers can expect plenty of surprises as Carla walks down the aisle. So here's the actress herself with a few teases as to what fans are going to get during a momentous week on the Street...
So, in the run up to the wedding Nick wants to call it all off - what’s Carla reaction to this?
We see that the symptoms of Nick’s brain injury are starting to return. He’s fearful about what it means for the future, which makes Carla also fearful, wondering what he knows about her one-night stand with Robert. They’re coming from two different places. What Carla should have done is come clean at the start, but because Tracy’s been manipulating the situation it’s all got out of control.
Carla starts to think that Nick must know something, but of course he doesn’t - it’s all about his injury and how he doesn’t want to hurt Carla, which makes what she’s done look even worse. So, in the run up, it’s unclear as to whether the wedding will even go ahead.
Why doesn’t Carla recoil when Nick tells her about the extent of his brain injury and what it could mean for them?
She’s so stressed at the minute that she doesn’t really think it through. She’d love him whatever but at this moment it’s just adding to the pressure cooker that is Carla Connor pressing self destruct as always. She’s finally found someone who’s good with her, who gets her, but of course she’s jeopardised all that because of her fling with Robert.
Why did she sleep with Robert - it was quite out of character?
She’d just found out that Johnny was her dad, she’d been drinking and Carla is so messed up because of her family anyway that she just couldn’t handle it.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/108366.jpg?width=620
How is Carla feeling on her wedding day?
As the day approaches she’s hit by the enormity of it and the shame over what she’s done. A few throwaway comments from the girls as she’s getting ready really resonate with her and the pressure of her guilt starts to get to her. She just wants to get through the day, marry Nick and move away from the street where she can start afresh.
Does she contemplate revealing all to Nick?
She should have told him months ago but as time has gone on, and with Tracy’s interference, the lie has intensified making it harder and harder to tell Nick. She’d love to be able to come clean but she’s so scared of losing him.
On the day of the wedding is Carla worried that Tracy could blow the whole thing?
She’s sick with worry about what Tracy might do but she’s determined to get through the day. When Carla hears that Tracy hasn’t been seen for a while she starts to fear there’s something going on. And when she finds out that Tracy’s interfered with the wedding flowers she’s even more scared, convinced Tracy is going to do everything she can to wreck the wedding.
She starts to feel more and more anxious, everything seems to be conspiring against her: Tracy’s trick with cancelling the florist, Tracy going AWOL, then Johnny’s acting weird when she goes to see him and the pressure of managing her guilt is really getting to her. It’s all becoming too much for Carla but she’s trying so hard to keep a lid on it - she’s desperate to stop her big day from unravelling.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/108367.jpg?width=620
Why does Roy give her away?
She calls at Underworld with some cufflinks for Johnny but he can’t get out of the door quick enough, which really unsettles Carla. Obviously she doesn’t know he has Tracy locked away in the hope she can’t wreck the wedding! So Johnny doesn’t turn up to the Bistro in time and Carla turns to Roy to give her away, who’s delighted. She’s emotional, fighting back the tears, as Roy leads her up the aisle. She loves Nick so much but she feels like a fraud.
What’s Carla’s wedding dress like?
Uncomfortable - it’s been squeezing me in for weeks! It’s quite traditional, very sweet, she wants to look beautiful for Nick and she wants the day to be perfect. The Bistro looks really pretty too - the art department has done an amazing job, lots of flowers and silver decorations.
Whatever happens we know Carla leaves the street - is her exit suitably explosive?
Well I’m shattered from filming so I hope it pleases everybody, I don’t think we could have put any more into it - it’s been emotionally draining.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/108368.jpg?width=620
What will you miss the most when you leave the show?
The people, cast and the crew. I can’t even talk about it without crying. I see more of them than I do anybody else, so they’re my family and we all look after each other so much. That’s what I’ll miss the most.

so leaves losing roy too tracy wins takes everything from her
I don't like the way it seems to be going.. I think the whole wedding was already a farse. And so so boring to watch... yawn.. Hypocrite Nick was just laughable - wanted to punch him! Who does he think he is? Never made a mistake? It's good that David reminded him of Kylie. And then getting married but punishing Carla at the reception and humiliating her the worst possible way! Absolutely disgusting. I think Carla was blessed there to get away from him. He thinks he's perfect himself. Then we had to watch a loonie Gail attacking Carla..! ' my child '.. For goodness sake! There's no mom like a soap mom, creepy. Every reasonable person (even mom) would be understanding for both parties as there's always two sides in every story. Anyway - then Carla has to drive over Cathy as well! And lose Roy's friendship that meant most to her??? I surely hope Cathy is ok and Roy forgives Carla. Everyone must see that it was Tracy that drove Carla into it.. Please let Tracy get all the blame. Can't stand her! And write her off!
People take sides when couples split all the time and in my own experience the other side's family can be the nastiest of the lot. Plus Gail has never been reasonable about defending her precious kids. Remember fighting Eileen in the street when Todd came out?
David called Nick out on his hypocrisy and I totally agree about humiliating Carla in public. However, these showdowns nearly always happen in public in soaps. I do understand Nick's point that he could never trust Carla again after all the lies. His own past behaviour doesn't change the fact that his relationship with Carla is now broken beyond repair.
I hope Tracy gets all the blame too, though I think that hope is futile. However, at the end of the day it was Carla that drove that car in a dangerous manner and caused the crash and I don't think the police would take the view that Tracy's to blame, despite her provocation. I'm wondering if Carla will to jail?

I think Nick was more concerned that Carla had given Tracy the money so that Robert could buy the Bistro and hadn't told him about it than he was about the infidelity after David had reminded him about Kylie. Nick had never really wanted to leave Weatherfield (and his mother :eek:), so to find out he was tricked into selling up and leaving was the final straw for him.
I also think we have to remember that we, as the viewers, see a lot more of what's going on than the characters in the soap, so, while we have a good understanding of everything, individuals within the various storylines only have their own view of what's going on.

Yes, and understandably so. It was a very cruel thing to do to him. :(

I don't understand why she wouldn't be charged for the crash... :searchme:
I think all in all it was Nick that had the worse day. Carla chose to ruin his happiness on such a special day by revealing her unfaithfulness, and just as he got over that, Tracy went and made it ten times worse. His humiliation was also a public one. And now he'll have to contend with Gail being even more over-protective... :eek:

I can´t see her getting arrested for the crash, never to be seen and heard of again, surely she would be waiting for a court case to be dealt with and not be in prison all that time as she has not yet been found guilty ... somehow I am more than disappointed at her exit storyline :wall:

I want her to part on good terms with Roy
bye bye carla and remember roy and justin bieber's words love yourself :p

I found the goodbyes a bit cringy, and I didn't even watch Carla and Tracy's last scene. Still, it was very good that Roy forgave her.
Carla was a completely different person when she arrived on the cobbles. I remember her as being very bitchy, selfish and hard-faced. How does someone change so completely in a few years? http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/confused/smileys-confused-630530.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

I think he has every right to be upset. He forgave her for the cheating. It's everything that she done he's heartbroken about. Lying and scheming to get him to move away from his family and give up his business. I know it was blackmail but she told him in their wedding day when she knew he had to avoid stress.

She had to leave and it would have been too early for her to try to get him back, Nick would need time to digest the news, especially as he has mental issues right now. As Alison King gave a fair bit of notice about wanting to leave, I wish they had come up with a very much less predictable storyline ... I would have given her a business award and some high powered job like working for or with Victoria Beckham in LA and Nick not being able to fly because of his condition ... so he has to get better first while she goes ahead ... and then Leanne comforting Nick when he feels lonely and presto .. LA no longer an option :D

I'd have been sympathetic to Carla for doing all that, because she was under duress at the time, if she'd shown any remorse for it. However, she appeared to feel no guilt at manipulating Nick. I don't blame him either, especially because what she did worsened his head injury symptoms and frightened him to death.
However, Carla's exit was an unnecessarily cruel one from a lot of viewers' point of view (including mine). Why couldn't she at least have left with her head held high?

I agree!
The writing for Nick and Carla the last few weeks wasn't great. Nick fought so hard for Carla over the year as a friend and lover. I just don't think he would have been that cruel. Maybe in the heat of the moment but in time he would have at least spoke to her. I suppose that's his head injury aswell. Also Carla made no attempt to fight for their relationship. She just leaves. Nick doesn't even know the full story and has now disappeared from screen. They could have at least had a heart to heart agreeing that Nick couldn't move and she couldn't stay and her leaving on better terms.

Former Coronation Street star Alison King has quashed your hopes of a soap comeback – suggesting that she may even quit acting.
Alison, who played Carla Connor on the ITV soap, told the Daily Star that she has nothing lined up and may explore a career change.
"I've got no new acting projects in the pipeline," she said at the launch of Amaluna – Cirque du Soleil's new show. "I may actually leave acting behind and join the circus.
"I'll maybe have a go tonight and see how it pans out," she joked.
Carla arrived on the cobbles in December 2006, and spent nearly a decade there before quitting Weatherfield this May.
She was at the centre of several huge storylines, including running over Stella Price and her ongoing feud with arch-enemy Tracy Barlow.
Carla was also raped by her boyfriend Frank Foster (and then became a suspect in his murder), and found herself as part of another major storyline with her on-off affair to Peter Barlow, who she later married.
In the end, Carla left Weatherfield for a new life in Devon – after discovering that family friend Johnny Connor was actually her biological father.
Alison previously told Digital Spy that she would be interested in returning to Coronation Street.
"I would never ever say never and I just love that the door has been left open for her," she said. "It is really nice that the characters who have such a history on the street are able to go back.
"Of course, they are my family. I love them and I love working with them, but at the moment, I'm just going to take a different direction for a while."

Kate Oates wants her back
I want Carla back too, but as a strong, independent woman like she was at first. And not back together with neither nick or Pete. Pete should be left on his own for a while. I like the new responsible Pete.
Rob as well in the future hopefully
I really think Carla needs at least a five year absence to break free of the awful writing that defined her last few years.

Kate Oates has confirmed a big return for popular character Carla Connor this Christmas as Alison King has signed on the dotted line to reprise the role

The rumours are finally true: Coronation Street is bringing back Carla Connor.
More than one year on from her departure following a disastrously failed wedding, Alison King has signed on to return to Corrie at Christmas and we'll see her in an explosive storyline alongside Kym Marsh (via the Radio Times). :crying:
Producer Kate Oates has promised a brand new spin on the character who has battled alcoholism and was even a murder suspect in her dark past.
"Ever since I got here, it's been rumoured that Carla's coming back. But it was never true. Even the latest indications of it," Oates said. "Ali has only just signed her contract and she'll be back around Christmas.
"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.
"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."
While the tough-talking Carla has been a lifelong friend of Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh), she's equally as remembered for her notorious feud with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Perhaps the person most happy about Alison's return to Corrie is her on-and-off screen friend Kym Marsh, who said she was hopeful of a reunion when chatting to Digital Spy earlier in the year.
"I keep trying to tempt [actress Alison King]. She's busy and she's a mum as well," Marsh told us. "She's got her own personal life and everything. I personally would love to see Carla return. I think Michelle misses her, like a double act.
"Now [Michelle's] not with Steve, it would be more of a double act. So, who knows?"
Digital Spy
Great news but why storyline with Michelle :(
I think Alison King was having trouble finding other work! She needs to pay the mortgage.

She is married or has a partner so I doubt that is the reason. She might just miss playing her character or working with the other cast members. She had a break and is ready to return. I hope she returns as the old feisty Carla and not the whimpering scared woman she was at the end. And Tracy needs her comeuppance for causing the fire and getting away with it :angry: Go Carla, Go Go Go !!

did alison act in anything since she left the street?
Coronation Street boss Kate Oates has teased tension between Carla Connor and her long-term best friend Michelle when she returns to Weatherfield.
It was confirmed back in August that Alison King was reprising her role as fan favourite Carla, who will be on her way back to the Cobbles at Christmas.
And while most details about her comeback are being kept under wraps, viewers can expect to see some big changes for the character – in particular when it comes to her friendship with Michelle.
Speaking to What's On TV, Kate said: "I am definitely keen to explore different sides of their relationship."
"They have obviously got Robert in common now which is interesting, but their friendship is really strong, so anything that challenges it will have to feel very truthful and quite deep.
"I just want to explore the dynamics – [it] would be a shame to leave everything as is. What's good about these long-standing friendships is when you challenge them and see what could potentially break them.
"But that is not the storyline that brings her in, what brings her in is something a bit more unexpected."
Carla bowed out of Corrie in June 2016 – following her disastrous wedding to Nick Tilsley – who she'd cheated on with Michelle's current partner Robert.

I can't understand why she's coming back so soon in the first place, run the factory I guess. Be nice imo. for the show to recruit some real, earthy northern working class characters ,the likes of Beth Tinker (rarely seen nowadays). Always seems to be the business folk, the so called wealth creators. Not just corrie , emmerdale has gone down the same route. Again, needs a balance, imo, So much virtually unknown acting talent out there ,jump at a chance, I reckon :(

Courtesy of Wiki "In September 2016, while attending a Cirque Du Soleil show after just returning from a holiday in France, King admitted that since quitting Coronation Street, she has no new projects lined up, joking that she might quit acting and join the circus.[56] She quipped: "Yeah, I'll maybe have a go tonight and see how it pans out". Sounds like a no tammy . Your post louise ,spot on ,I suppose that explains the return. Very lucky to be in that work situation.

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."
Digital Spy
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."

Depends on the hospital/consultant/doctor I guess. My dad didn't have dialysis and was at Carla's level of functioning when they booked in the transplant.
Hopefully once this transplant etc is over they will give Carla a less heavy storyline - maybe even some comedy for a change?

Surely they can do more with her than just pairing her up with various characters and exes? It would be good to see her doing some comedy with Roy for example and that could bring out Roy's eccentric side again - he seems to have been involved in a lot of serious storylines recently.

I was thinking him too.
They are third cousins once removed. Michelle's dad and Johnny are second cousins, making Michelle and Carla third cousins. Then you go down a generation to get to Alex.
Carla was previously married to Michelle's brother, so the relationship is a little more distant than her previous one (though obviously at the time she was unaware she was related to him at all.)

Why are they giving her another pointless relationship? She needs to get a job instead of floating around the Street, poking around Sally's house etc. If she's not going to be involved in the factory she needs to look into other options - starting a business of some kind maybe.

She's really just having this fling out of boredom. (that's if it becomes a fling in the first place) Hopefully the writers will give her a job of some kind soon.

Alison King has teased a possible reunion for her character Carla Connor and Peter Barlow.
Peter might seem like he's fully committed to Toyah Battersby these days, but fans have always argued that Carla is the woman that he really belongs with.
That argument appeared to be justified when Peter became consumed with jealousy over Carla's fling with his brother Daniel earlier this year, and Alison reckons there is definitely unfinished business there.
"I think the Peter/Carla/Toyah angle is very interesting," she said. "There's definitely unfinished business there and their chemistry is undeniable."
She added: "I also love Carla's relationship with Roy, I love the awkward dynamic there in the house, it's really growing and I'm loving that.
"Men wise she needs a rugged male, maybe Nick should come back or maybe Imran but I'm not sure he's rough enough for her."
Any possible reunion for Carla and Peter appears to be on the back-burner for the time being given that she's pursuing a romance with Michelle's son Ali. However, there could be big repercussions for Carla when Michelle learns the truth...

She owned the factory but now that she's made Aidan the sole owner she just seems to float around the Street or make fun of people with Michelle (although that seems to be coming to an end soon...). If she had a job she wouldn't have flings out of boredom, which is what she did with both Daniel and Ali. And no, I don't really want her back with Peter either but it might keep her away from the other younger characters that she hasn't slept with yet...

I think she should only get back the shares she gave to aiden, then alya can have the 18% that was already aiden’s before

My guess is that as he did not change it to the all of the factory he was happy with her having 18% but you are right, we will never know for sure
Coronation Street star Ben Price has revealed that Carla Connor will try to blackmail Nick Tilsley when she discovers the truth about the mysterious Elsa.
Last night's episodes saw Carla (Alison King) confront Nick over his secrecy after discovering that he's a joint partner in a restaurant business in Nottingham.
Desperate to cover his tracks, Nick told Carla that he only got involved to help out a friend with a tax dodge. Sadly, his lies won't keep Carla off the scent for long, as Elsa will finally arrive on the cobbles in Friday night's episodes (November 9).
Former Casualty star Kelly Harrison has been cast in the role of Elsa, who's expected to be revealed as Nick's secret wife.
When Carla finds out that Nick hasn't been entirely honest with her – and especially not with his love interest Leanne Battersby – she realises she can use this situation to her own advantage.
Ben, who returned to the role of Nick last month, explained: "It's not good for Nick when Elsa turns up. He doesn't want an associate from his other life sniffing round this one. He worries everything is going to be blown apart. When the two lives collide, it's not going to be good, is it?
"Nick reinvented himself when he went to Nottingham and now this person is going to realise who the real Nick is. And on the flip side, he has not been totally truthful in Weatherfield about his life in Nottingham. Because of the factory, Carla has a vested interest in trying get to the truth."
He continued: "Carla is on the scent of something and she sees it as a way of levering Nick out of the factory. She also thinks she can maybe blackmail him and keep his money. That is Carla all over!
"Nick is a bit arrogant, though. He thinks he can get out of situations and rise above it all."
The arrival of Elsa comes just when it seems that Nick is making progress with Leanne, but if the truth comes out, everything could be thrown into jeopardy again.
Ben added: "Leanne is ready to give it another try. She is blissfully unaware of any other side of Nick's life. They have really gone through it and they keep coming back to each other, believing that this time it will be a bit better.
"Before it was a bit unbalanced. Nick's mess was worse than Leanne's, but she has messed up a lot recently with Steve, so things are bit more evenly balanced now.
"They both have things they would rather not talk about and they feel able to meet in the middle and try again. They are not going to try and force it to work but they are willing to see how it goes."

Coronation Street has announced plans for Carla Connor to have her own special standalone episode next year.
Carla (Alison King) will take centre stage in the aftermath of the upcoming roof collapse at Underworld, which leads to the popular character experiencing problems with her mental health.
It's been announced that the factory will be rocked by a massive stunt in March 2019 as the roof caves in thanks to criminal activity from a mystery character.
As the early weeks of the storyline see the finger of blame wrongly pointed at Carla, she struggles with the backlash and suffers a sad breakdown.
Speaking to Digital Spy and others at a press event, Corrie's new producer Iain MacLeod explained: "Our viewers will know the factory roof collapse is a whodunit quite early in the story, but our characters won't. Somebody operating in the shadows has done this thing.
"So the early stages of this story will see Carla as a massive pariah. At the beginning, the roof collapse seems to emerge from a workaholism story for Carla. She determines that her life's priority is work and being a professional woman. She wants to focus on the factory and Aidan's legacy.
"That drives Carla into making some mistakes, that will lead to the factory falling in basically! She alienates a lot of people. First it will look like an accident, then we'll start to reveal that it's not.
"What happens impacts massively on Carla's mental health. We're doing something a little bit stylised, like with the Ashley story I did at Emmerdale, but not quite as extreme as Corrie's take on that.
"It's a standalone episode that will be mental health focused and Carla focused. It will also be the reveal to the audience of who was behind the factory roof collapsing."
He added: "This factory collapse story has lots of unexpected off-shoots into areas that give our amazing cast a chance to show off their acting chops."

can only hope this is a more interesting storyline than it sounds, Carla is quite wooden and not that interesting to watch.:hmm:
Did the roof of Underworld not fall in last year? At least, something happened to it, which is why most characters were out of work for ages.
Also, Carla's had an emotional breakdown before, after the Victoria Court fire in 2015. (and she was wrongly accused then too.) The writers just seem to be repeating themselves where Carla's concerned.

the roof was stolen as part of adam and eva clean out payback on aidan

A kind Mr Phelan worked his socks off though to put it back up so they could open the factory again
It still sounds repetitive though. No doubt Carla will hit the bottle again.

Apparently she does!

when did she stop hitting it
I don't think I can watch her having another meltdown. Why do the writers think the only way to make her sympathetic is to make her a complete and utter victim?
carla treats aidan's kidney very well with fine red wine
everyone covering for her, lies and bribes
I can't understand why she's allowing Peter and Nick to go around bribing people on her behalf. She was willing to confess until Peter started this latest cover up and even let him persuade her to go away for a while. She's supposed to be this great, independent woman and a powerful businesswoman.
At least now she's realising how Roy felt when she covered for him, except unlike Roy she hasn't owned up to it.
Think the health inspector Wayne feels jealous of Carla and her closeness to Roy.
Also I can't understand how she allowed Peter to be rude to Roy when he had allowed Peter to stay in his flat. Carla would never have allowed that in the past - she even told Johnny off for making fun of him when she was in hospital waiting for her transplant.

I wanted Carla to hand herself in
Carla Connor will be sectioned following her mental breakdown after telling family and friends that she was responsible for the roof collapse and death of Rana Habeeb.
Carla will go missing after her revelation, which will see her close friends and family turn against her as they grapple to come to terms with the news she’s told them.
As we know, Carla is acting on guilt and the real culprit of who’s to blame has yet to be made known to fans.
Coming to Carlas rescue will be Peter who finds out she is in hospital..
Can Peter help her to come to terms with recent events and find a way to help get her life back on track?
These scenes air over the next few weeks.
she'll be grand, just look at steve
The end for Carla? Carla is heading for rock bottom and fast. As she goes missing, Peter, Kate, Johnny and Roy are on the case to find her and bring her home. But her psychosis means she can trust no-one. Not wanting to be found, Carla’s harrowing state of mind implodes – leading to some heartbreaking scenes delivered expertly by Alison King. A standalone episode about Carla’s mental health will follow, with show boss Iain MacLeod telling us: ‘It’s a standalone episode that will be mental health focused and Carla focused. It will also be the reveal to the audience of who was behind the factory roof collapsing. It’s a really nice fusion of important, serious drama about mental health.’ Killer revealed! The investigation into who brought that roof down and killed Rana will continue for some time (which may or may not be good news for you) and there are indications that the viewers will discover their identity long before the community. But it leads to the incarnation of the latest cobbles bad guy. Iain teased: ‘What I have always liked about Corrie is the ability to have villains like Hillman and Phelan who come in and burn bright and also the more complicated, long range villain like Mike Baldwin – ruthless, self serving and looking out for number one. ‘We’re designing a character in that latter type who can stay long term as an antagonistic just messing up lives. ‘By going with this character on this journey – their intentions are good and they rapidly snowball. It will be a very slow burn.’

she should be kept in hospital, roy and peter are wrong, she needs professional help

Looking forward to this episode especially .. I am sure Alison will make a great job of it
more scenes of her working in the cafe and minding bertie would be nice
I think she needs a few quieter episodes after all she's been through so minding Bertie would be a nice minor storyline for her.

As Carla and Peter are jobless, they could take over The Viaduct Bistro when Robert and Michelle leave, with Ciaran back as the chef

From Metro Soap Newsletter
Carla will honour Sinead by taking over her business in Coronation Street
Tonight's hour long Coronation Street is an emotional one as we say a final farewell to Sinead, whose fight for life reaches a heart wrenching end.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Daniel will struggle enormously and those around him struggle with what to do to support him and Bertie. As Daniel hits self destruct, Carla and Peter want to do their best by him.
When Carla sees some of Sinead's supplies for her beard oil business, she gets a brainwave and decides to keep the project going as a legacy to Sinead. As she gets to work, Beth sees her with the materials and jumps to conclusions.
But kind hearted Carla assures Beth that every proceed from beard oil sales will go into an account for Bertie.
Peter, meanwhile, will be forced to step up when Daniel disappears with Bertie, refusing to attend the funeral.
Does Carla know the first thing about making beard oil? I love how characters can go from job to job without training or experience...
She's going to be busy over the next few months if the spoilers are anything to go by... She'll be supporting Daniel and Bertie when they return, and then (if the rumour is true) Michelle at Christmas time. Presumably she'll try to help Roy during this upcoming storyline with his brother, whenever that is, although, being Roy, he'll probably insist he's fine. It's a substantial burden for someone with mental health problems so hopefully it won't cause a relapse.
roy's scrabble addiction too, poor carla how will she cope, plenty red wine
CORONATION Street's Carla Connor will be taking over the Rovers Return when her dad Johnny flees Weatherfield. The former factory owner will take the helm of the famous bar alongside boyfriend Peter Barlow.
Johnny is forced to run away from Weatherfield when a mysterious man from his past makes a booking in the pub.
Upcoming Corrie scenes are set to show a man named Scott attempting to rent out the spare room at the Rovers Return, and Johnny looks panicked at the prospect.
It will turn out that Scott is a shady figure from Johnny's past and he's desperate to avoid seeing him. In fact, Jonny is so rocked by the unwelcome guest that he suggests to Jenny that they take an impromptu holiday, and of course she is none the wiser to what's going on.
And as the pair make haste to France to visit Eva and the baby, Johnny asks Carla to step in and run the pub.
Our True Fans United special agent told us “Johnny will do anything he can to avoid this familiar but unwelcome face from his history - there are things that he is hiding that he doesn't want coming to light. Scott's arrival on the scene threatens the life he and Jenny have built together. They have come through so much over the last few years and the thought of losing it all is terrifying for him”.
Alcoholic Peter has previously run the pub and sold it to Johnny but it will be the first time in a long time that Carla has been running a business.
I can see Carla and Peter moving into the Rovers while Jenny and Johnny are away. It must be getting pretty crowded in Roy's flat, with Nina still on the sofa.
