With Kate Oates gone maybe Kym Marsh is next to exit
With Kate Oates gone maybe Kym Marsh is next to exit
Not long since she signed another contract for a year and she will not quit on her own accord, I am sure. Guess it all depends on how she gets on with Iain MacLeod to determine her long term future
She has actually just now signed a contract for at least another year :crying: :angry:
Coronation Street has been quite happy to say farewell to a number of characters this last year or so (the vast majority of them at the hands of Pat Phelan), but it's good to know one Weatherfield favourite won't be snuffing it any time soon.
Kym Marsh has used her OK! Magazine column to confirm that her character Michelle Connor isn't going anywhere soon.
"I'm really pleased to announce I've signed to Corrie for another year," she wrote. "It's great to know that I'll be there for another 12 months doing what I love doing and being with my friends."
Just because Michelle won't be getting killed off doesn't mean there won't be drama for her.
She's getting married to Robert Preston soon, and if you think that's going off without a hitch then you're probably wrong. This is Soapland, after all.
And off screen, Kym delighted fans last weekend when she got on the old microphone and performed her former group Hear'Say's number one chart smash 'Pure and Simple'. :sick:
Only in Manchester, eh?

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she was left with real-life bruises after filming Michelle Connor's terrifying showdown with Pat Phelan.
Michelle finds herself unexpectedly thrown into the climax of Phelan's storyline next week when he takes her hostage on her wedding day.
The drama unfolds after Phelan shoots someone at Eileen Grimshaw's house and takes the unlucky victim over to the Bistro, gatecrashing Michelle's wedding.
Phelan (Connor McIntyre) orders Ali Neeson to administer first aid, before grabbing Michelle and dragging her into the Bistro kitchen to use her as leverage.
Speaking about the shocking scenes, Kym explained: "It's great to be a part of something like this, because it's such a big week for Corrie and you wouldn't necessarily imagine that Robert and Michelle would particularly be involved with Pat Phelan's exit.
"We've not really crossed paths so far. We don't have any axe to grind with Phelan and we wouldn't really be on his radar. So then to find out that we'd be a massive part of it and end up being caught in the middle of it all was great."
She continued: "I've never played anything like this before, so for me it was another 'first' and it's always good to give yourself a bit of a challenge.
"I've been here at Corrie for a long time, but they keep surprising me with stuff. I'm aware that I've been very lucky over the last 18 months with the storylines I've been trusted with. It's always nice to know that they trust you with these things, so we must be doing something right."
Kym admitted that filming intense storylines like these can take their toll – especially after such a busy year for Michelle.
She said: "Your body doesn't know that it's not real, because you have to make it look as real as possible. Filming in the Bistro, I was being thrown around by Connor and he's a strong man.
"Then I had to throw myself on the floor. I was bruised, but you do it and your body doesn't realise that it's not really happening.
"When we did the baby loss storyline last year, I would be so tired at the end of the day, because I'd been crying and emotional. Then I'd go to sleep and wake up at two or three in the morning. It takes a long time for your body to go 'it's alright'. It's quite physical sometimes."
Kym recently opened up about suffering panic attacks in real life, but she's now explained how she doesn't let them stop her from going to dark places in her scenes.
She said: "I really do still go there – you have to. For example, when I was doing all the stuff with Will the stalker, I had to be really scared and I was locked in the boot of a car.
"You do have to get yourself to those places. But that is a case of mind over matter and you know that's not real. Mentally you have to tell yourself that it's not reality and try to get out of that as quickly as possible. I didn't dwell on those situations.
"When you're on set, you have to bring comedy to it and have a laugh, because if you don't, you can get so intense with it and it could take over."
Coronation Street airs at 9pm all next week on ITV.

She has been in Corrie for 12 years, you would have thought she would have learned from some of the excellent colleagues she has on that set ...
I think I must have got used to her acting. But agree re your list

Kym Marsh has announced an 'iconic' new role after leaving Coronation Street
How festive.
A few weeks after she announced she was taking a break from Coronation Street, Kym Marsh has announced an "iconic" new role.
The actress will be swapping Weatherfield for a winter wonderland after signing up to star in an arena tour of the musical Elf.
Yes, it is based on the beloved Christmas movie starring Will Ferrell.
The Mirror report that the musical will be touring arenas around the UK in December this year, with Kym set to star as Jovie - who was played by Zooey Deschanel in the film.
EastEnders' Shaun Williamson will play Buddy's dad, Walter Hobbs, while Tam Ryan will be taking over the role of Buddy.
On her new role, the actress said:
"I am delighted to be getting back on stage and joining the cast of Elf this December.
"Elf is an iconic Christmas film and having seen the musical myself last year I am very excited to be part of this fun and heart-warming family show."
Kym announced late last month that she was going to be taking a break from Coronation Street - but promised viewers "it isn't the last you've heard of Michelle Connor."
The actress first appeared on Corrie in a cameo role, playing Michelle Connor, back in 2006. Her popularity with viewers landed her a permanent role on the soap.
Kym confirmed the news this week in a statement, which said:
"When I was lucky enough to be offered four episodes on Coronation Street, I could never in my wildest dreams have thought I’d be here thirteen years later
"It’s been an incredibly difficult decision but it feels like the right time for me to take a break from the show and explore some other roles.
"But this isn’t the last you’ve heard of Michelle Connor, she’ll be back! I can’t wait to see what the writers have in store for the future."
Michelle heads off Kym Marsh has announced that she is heading away from Coronation Street after a long tenure on the show but details of her exit have yet to be revealed. But will her recent split with Robert and Carla’s meltdown play a part in her departure? Kym said: ‘When I was lucky enough to be offered four episodes I could never in my wildest dreams have thought I’d be here 13 years later. It’s been an incredibly difficult decision but it feels like the right time for me to explore some other roles.’

The right time for me for her to have explored other roles would have been 13 years ago after the initial 4 episodes trial. Still, well pleased she's leaving at long last, a celebratory glass of single malt beckons. No doubt she'll be heading for the jungle with Ant & Dec come November.

I hope so too but I fear once the game show she is hosting has finished filming she will be back on the cobbles.... she is only having a break and I believe it is a fairly short one .. :(

Last month, the Sun Online exclusively revealed that Robert’s luck is only set to worsen when he’s brought in for questioning by the police and accused of murdering her.
But will a desperate Robert really kill pregnant Vicky after their furious showdown?
EastEnders viewers will have to wait and see, as details of Robert’s future are being kept firmly under wraps for now.

Kym Marsh left Coronation Street in December 2019, having played Michelle Connor since 2006.
Since then she's landed herself a job presenting Morning Live on BBC One alongside Gethin Jones, and nabbed a role in a stage version of Fatal Attraction. With all that and more in her busy schedule, could she see herself reprising her role as Michelle in the future?
"Yeah, possibly," she told The Mirror. "I love Coronation Street, it's where I started and it gave me the biggest part of my career.
"I had wonderful times there, I made wonderful friends and I loved the character of Michelle, so I have no doubt I'll go back at some point ? as long as they don't kill me off off-screen!"
Her Fatal Attraction role will feature more risqu? and intimate scenes than Corrie, which Kym admits she is finding quite nerve-wrecking.
"I'm terrified, absolutely terrified. I've been fortunate enough to have been in the acting game for a long time now and this is something I've never actually done ? it's going to be a challenge in itself," she said. "But I think once I've done it once it will be fine. And it's not real!
"It's just another side to the part I'm playing. Obviously, taking some of your clothes off on stage is quite daunting, but it will be alright ? I'll just keep getting in that gym."
The role also sees her reunite with fellow Corrie star Oliver Farnworth, who played Andy Carver between 2014 and 2017. Kym admitted that they hadn't worked together that often on the soap, but it was still nice to have some familiarity.
Please no no no. :thumbsdow:

Oh god, please no, she's not been away long enough.
Kym Marsh has opened up about a return to Coronation Street - saying she has "no doubt" she will go back.
The actress played Michelle Connor for 13 years on the hit ITV soap.
She left the cobbles in 2019 so she could work on other projects.
At the time, her exit was said to be a temporary year-long break.
But after appearing in films, dramas, stage shows and hosting a variety of television shows including BBC breakfast show Morning Live, Kym?s return is yet to happen.
Kym, who rose to fame in 2001 after winning a place in the band Hear'Say, is currently preparing to star in a stage tour of Fatal Attraction.
Asked whether she is open to returning to Corrie, Kym told the Mirror : ?Yeah, possibly.
?I love Coronation Street, it?s where I started and it gave me the biggest part of my career.?
?I had wonderful times there,? she added.
?I made wonderful friends and I loved the character of Michelle, so I have no doubt I?ll go back at some point.
"As long as they don?t kill me off off-screen.?
