I'd love to have Danny Baldwin back. He was a favourite character of mine and I was upset when he left. I wasn't keen on Jamie though.
Coronation Street stars Alison King and Ben Price get in a quick caffeine fix as they stop to take a filming break at Manchester casino
Their on-screen alter egos appear to be embroiled in quite the love triangle at the moment.
And on Monday morning, Coronation Street stars Alison King and Ben Price were hard at work filming scenes outside a casino in South Manchester.
Taking a break from filming, the co-stars appeared to be in great and content spirits as they enjoyed a quick caffeine fix.
For the shooting, 42-year-old Alison – who plays Carla Connor – was dressed black mid-length sleeved blouse, which was teamed with black skinny jeans and a pair of suede ankle boots.
Her on-screen love interest, who plays resident local Nick Tyldesley, cut a sharp figure in a slick grey two-piece suit and a plain grey polo-shirt.
Meanwhile, Alison recently announced that she will be leaving the popular ITV soap to take a break and pursue other projects.
Although show bosses have confirmed she will be back and that she has more drama to come her way before she leaves Weatherfield later this year.
‘Alison King has indicated to producers that she would like to take a sabbatical from the show for creative reasons at some point in 2016,’ a Corrie spokeswoman said.
‘She wishes to try her hand at other projects before returning to the part of Carla Connor, a role she has enjoyed playing for nine years.
Before Ali takes her break Carla has much more drama to come.’
‘Ali’s desire to take a break from the show gives the writers the opportunity to come up with an enthralling exit for the character,’ the representative added.
Her character was part of the explosive storyline which saw her flat go up in flames, which led to the death of Kal Nazir.

I thought Tracy was going to change and be remorseful. She doesnt care at all that two people are dead
Coronation Street’s Carla Connor is clearly out of control next week as she lashes out at those closest to her.
Unable to face going to Deirdre Barlow’s funeral, Carla spends the afternoon in a casino instead.
She later suggests another poker night but the lads refuse, telling her to cut her losses and forget it, leaving her annoyed.
Michelle Connor tells Carla that Roy Cropper’s worried about her and reckons she’s drinking too much and not been sleeping.
She suggests a shopping spree but emptying the petty cash tin, Carla cancels her trip with Michelle and heads to the casino.
On a winning streak, she gambles all her chips on her last bet and loses the lot.
Returning home from her disastrous gambling spree, Carla vents her anger on Roy and poor Cathy.
Roy reacts badly as she calls Cathy a gold-digger and tells him that she’s no replacement for Hayley.
Roy demands an apology but Carla remains unrepentant and storms out of the café slamming the door behind her. As Roy mulls over Carla’s accusations, Cathy assures him they’ve done nothing wrong but he’s less convinced and Cathy leaves hurt.
Alone with Michelle, Carla admits how unhappy she is, how she blames herself for the fire and how she regrets her spiteful comments to Roy.
Michelle advises her to get away for a few weeks but Carla first returns to the café and apologises to Roy for her harsh words. Will he accept her apology?

I really don't want to see Carla in trouble all the time-if it's not drinking, it's gambling, or losing a baby, relationship problems or everyone on the street turning against her. I surely hope Roy and Carla remain friends-as it's been heartwarming to watch.
I wanted some happiness for Carla-I really wished she and Peter would have had that baby together-if anyone, those two deserved some happiness for a change!

I like the idea of the guilt about the fire causing Carla to fall off the rails into another addiction. Soap disasters almost never have long term consequences for characters, but it seems likely in this case Carla will lose everything because of the fire. Of course we know she has nothing to feel guilty about, so I hope Tracy's part is revealed before Carla leaves.
Soaps love piling on the disaster after disaster for favourite female characters. I'm not sure why... :searchme:
It would be nice if Carla leaves Coronation Street on a happy note.
I kinda am liking her with Nick more, they could have a baby both want kids now I thinkQuote:

All soaps have it, Hollyoaks has a few murderers free no guilt and Emmerdale has Ross and Carly doing bad things tooQuote:

Yes, true, but what I think makes it more aggravating in these cases is that it's not just that the villain is going unpunished - though that's bad enough - it's that someone else, who is completely innocent and not just innocent but a victim as well, is suffering and having the finger pointed.Quote:

Usually at least the truth has come out in the end, but doesn't look that way now.. Rather than Carla being punished all the time, I'd like to see Tracy losing everything(including being punished for the fire) in the wake of her mother's death.. Maybe, just maybe after that she might change her ways. Will that happen? Doubt it..
Unless Tracy is shown to be behind the fire, I have to say I don't really see the point of the story. Why not just have Carla responsible for the fire? I'm sure that, in line with Soap morality, the real culprit will be exposed in the end.
I should say in line with Corrie morality as I'm growing less and less confident that Soap morality applies any longer in EE.
I think the producer says suspicions will rise but no evidence to prove it. I think it will be enough for Carla to leave with her head held high (i hope)
Fingers crossed. Given there's no hope of Tracy being punished legally, I'll be satisfied if the community knows the truth so Carla's exonerated.Quote:

I suppose Tracy could confess as part of her "redemption".Quote:

I imagine she might be more polite and friendly to others in future but the past will stay in the past :thumbsdowQuote:

Coronation Street bosses are lining up even more drama for troubled Carla Connor this autumn.
Show producer Stuart Blackburn has named the Underworld boss as one to watch as the ITV soap launches its autumn storylines next month.
It's already been a busy summer for Carla, as her guilt over the recent fire at Victoria Court has driven her to a gambling addiction.
Carla's problems pave the way for the arrival of Shayne Ward's character Aidan Connor, who will be joining the Street next week in the hope of getting her life and business back on track.
Aidan's father Johnny and sister Kate will then be hot on his heels, turning up in September.
Blackburn commented: "The Connors are looking great. I think in Aidan, Johnny and Kate, we've really hit gold. One of those characters will deliver a bit of news to Carla that will change her sense of self and perception forever. It's going to be a real shocker.
"We've also got a lot more twists and turns for Tracy and Carla. They've been out on location filming some of the strongest two-hander scenes we've had this year."
Prime Suspect actor Richard Hawley has been cast in the role of Johnny, while theatre star Faye Brookes has been confirmed to play Kate.
Carla's brother Rob, played by Marc Baylis, will also be returning to our screens later this year for a storyline which will see the killer calling the shots from his prison cell.

Alison King has confirmed that her upcoming break from the show is still a long way off.
It was announced earlier this year that the popular actress, who plays Carla Connor, would be taking a sabbatical for creative reasons.
Although details surrounding Carla's temporary exit won't be revealed until nearer the time, King has admitted that she recently signed to stay on the show until next spring.
She said: "I have just signed till May 2016, there is a lot to do with Carla yet. I haven't had chance to think about beyond that.
"As for storyline - I am starting to get a sense of what t might involve but I don't know any details."
Dramatic scenes airing next week will see Carla's enemy Tracy Barlow finally reveal that it was her who start the Victoria Court fire that killed Kal Nazir and Maddie Heath.
Speaking about the repercussions of Carla's discovery, King said: "This revelation makes a massive difference and even if ultimately people don't believe Tracy did it she now knows she didn't and that is what matters.
"She will be angry but for Carla it is much more about knowing that she didn't do it and as long as she knows and the people that matter to her know that is what she cares about more than Tracy being punished."
Discussing Carla's future with Nick Tilsley, King added: "Carla really does care for Nick this is working for her she quite likes for once that someone wants to take care of her and is strong enough to look after her.
"Because she's always been the one in relationships that is the strong one. Nick is a different kind of alpha male and she hasn't experienced this type of relationship before."
Things won't be merry in the Connor household this Christmas on Coronation Street.
According to the Daily Star Sunday, Carla Connor (Alison King) is set for a shock when Johnny (Richard Hawley) is told that he is her biological dad.
It all kicks off when Carla's brother Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) returns from prison and demands £10k from Johnny to keep the news quiet. Johnny confides in Liz (Beverley Callard) and admits to having a one night stand with Carla's mum.
Viewers will then see Johnny attempt a secret DNA test without Carla finding out.
Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn had previously teased that Rob's return will be a "disaster" for those in his sights.
"He's had a lot of time to think things through while he's been in prison, and Carla and Tracy remain in his sights. After all, these are the two women that got him sent down," Blackburn said.
Baylis was last seen on Coronation Street in November 2014.
I predicted this in one of the threads
So is this another case of a murderer being allowed out after a very short time? What is it this time? The judge was high on marijuana at the trial so the verdict's been quashed?Quote:

DNA theft is an actual offence, so all this 'secret' DNA testing is a load of crap
