It is being reported that Kym Marsh is on the brink of signing a ‘mega-deal’ that will propel her to the No 1 star of Coronation Street, following the departure of Alison King.
A show source told The Sun: ‘She will take over from Alison as Corrie’s best all round performer being involved in the top storylines all the time. Losing Alison has been a devastating body blow deep down to the inner sanctum because not only was she a tremendous actress but Carla was seen as having everything for a soap role, sexiness, funny, ruthless, a boozer and depressive at the same time but all the time must watch TV.
‘There is no doubt that Kym can step into her shows no problem – and the bosses are chuffed to bits.’
However a source for the show, as well as Kym Marsh’s spokesperson, have both denied the claims. The ITV source said that the rumour is ‘totally untrue’ explaining that as Kym’s contract ends in July, no negotiations have yet taken place surrounding her next one.
Michelle is partnered with Steve McDonald and played an important role in his depression storyline. Meanwhile, departing factory boss Carla’s stories have included being trapped in a fire, developing a gambling addiction and being the victim of rape.
It was also reported that new deals have been offered to Tina O Brien (Sarah), Melanie Hill (Cathy) and Faye Brookes (Kate) to keep them in the show, although there is no confirmation surrounding these either.
In coming storylines, viewers will see Carla exit as well as Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas. Meanwhile, David Neilson (Roy), Les Dennis (Michael), Oliver Farnworth (Andy) and Brooke Vincent (Sophie) have taken breaks from the cobbles.
Sally Ann Matthews, however, recently reprised her role as Jenny Bradley, while villainous builder Phelan also made a comeback. Viewers will soon see love interests arrive for Leanne Tilsley and Zeedan Nazir who are among newcomers over the next few weeks.
New producer Kate Oates is not due to start her role at the soap until early Spring.
I prefer her keeping a very low profile rather than being in the spotlight all the time ....
No way is Michelle as good as Carla!
jane danson deserves a new better deal top actress on the show, even kate ford is better than kym
article is fabricated
Kym Marsh has opened up about all things Corrie, her appearance on Popstars and THAT weight jibe from Nigel Lythgoe.
During a lengthy and at times emotional interview on Ireland's The Late Late Show, Marsh told Ryan Tubridy that it was hard to transition from Hear'Say to acting, because people don't take you seriously.
"Obviously I'm from a music background and it's not easy to break in to another industry when you're known for something else.
"But it's really hard to get someone to take you seriously especially when you've come from a reality show - and the one we were in was the first of it's kind, and everyone said 'It's Hearsay, they're so cheesy.'
"So it was kind of hard for me. But they took a chance on me and I'm so glad they did because it gave me the opportunity to show what I can do. And you're not in a show for ten years if you're no good."
She also spoke about 'hiding' her children during her appearance on PopStars, something which people still go on about now.
She said: "You had to fill out this form and give details, age, where you live. They never asked me if I had children - so it wasn't a question that was ever asked.
"I'd experienced a lot of discrimination early before PopStars - lots would say 'She's got kids, she won't be reliable.' But the question was never asked so I never said.
"Then later down the line I told them and that was fine. Then they didn't confront me until much further down the line and confronted me for the tv show. But it was 'Well actually I told you ages ago.'"
Host Ryan Tubridy then asked her about Nigel Lythgoe's comments on her weight. The Popstars judge famously said: "Christmas is over and the goose has gotten fat."
Marsh said that while we're used to reality judges saying shocking things, no-one had really experienced that before Popstars.
"Our show was very much about making the band," she said. "And obviously we didn't know what was gonna happen. I was 24 years old away from my children and family, then to be filmed with someone saying you're fat when clearly I wasn't, was really harsh.
"I begged them not to put it out because I felt humiliated. I asked them not to and they said: "We're making a tv show."
Apparently Lythgoe did apologise to her, but "in the middle of the night when there were no cameras around".
"It had a huge effect on me as someone who suffered from an eating disorder at a young age," she continued. "I was size 12 at the time. It made me really unconfident and insecure about myself and the way that I looked. It didn't help."
Marsh also spoke about the loss of her son Archie at 22 weeks, explaining that it still hurts and you never get over it.
Marsh's appearance on The Late Late Show follows one on Good Morning Britain in which she was lost for words during a fitness tracker giveaway.
Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she recently came seriously close to leaving her role on the soap.
She’s celebrating her tenth anniversary on the iconic cobbles playing barmaid Michelle Connor, but was actually considering LEAVING the soap to mark her decade on the show – as close mate Alison King, who played sister-in-law Carla Connor, had decided to leave too.
Michelle told the Sun On Sunday: “I thought about it for a long time. It was obviously a huge decision.
“My contract was expiring in June, and so the time to leave would have been now. Plus, of course, I didn’t know if they wanted to keep me either.”
The actress eventually decided to stay on the soap – as she enjoys her role so much and her a huge group of friends – and her contract was renewed by bosses.
Though she’s not sure how long she’ll stay on the soap – no star can ever be sure that their character isn’t going to meet a sticky end – Michelle is now secure in the knowledge that she’s going to be on the cobbles for some time yet.
She said: “For the foreseeable future, I’m not going anywhere.”
Fans will be pleased to hear that.
Reminiscing on her ten-year anniversary on Corrie, Kym also revealed that she can remember exactly what she was doing when she received the happy news that she’d got a role in the long-running soap – she was at home making spaghetti bolognaise for her kids (which was then abandoned for a meal out to celebrate her amazing new job).
And she admitted she can't understand how people film sex scenes - when she struggles to flirt in front of the cameras.
her storyline is as daft and bad as maria's one
That's a bit harsh! Nothing Michelle's done can compare to Maria's downright embarrassing turn as a lion... :pQuote:

The pair will reportedly run into further problems over the coming weeks, but Steve (Simon Gregson) could put the final nail in the coffin when he joins some Tinder-style dating apps.
Tim Metcalfe is said to be responsible for all the trouble by installing apps on Steve's phone, in a bid to help his friend through his marital rough patch.
But Michelle will not be in a forgiving mood when she finds out and will sensationally call time on their relationship, The Mirror reports.
A furious Michelle (Kym Marsh) will tell Steve their marriage is over, before announcing that she is taking up a singing job on a cruise ship.
Fans will have to tune in to see if Michelle is actually bowing out of Weatherfield for good, or whether Steve can change her mind.
Michelle is of course hiding her own indiscretion from Steve, after she recently got passionate with her ex-boyfriend Will whilst her husband was overseas.
Upcoming scenes will see Michelle's secret come under threat when her stepdaughter Amy gets wind of the situation and threatens to expose it to Steve.

I can´t see this happening, sadly :(
sex tape leaked for sale, could all be hearsay :p
Must be awful for her
Coronation Street's lining up another baby plot as Michelle Connor will learn she's pregnant over the next few weeks.
Upcoming scenes will see Michelle tell her husband Steve McDonald that she wants them to try for a baby of their own. Despite some initial hesitance from Steve, he eventually agrees and before long, they are discovering that Michelle is pregnant.
But The Mirror reports that Michelle's pregnancy won't be straightforward, and could have huge repercussions for both them and others on the street.
Viewers will know that Leanne Battersby is also expecting a baby, following a one-night stand with a mystery man last week.
Speaking about Michelle's baby dreams, Kym Marsh said recently: "It is basically Leanne being pregnant which prompts it. She realises that as she is 40 she is getting close to the point where it might not be possible.
"She doesn't feel like she is needed as a mum by Ryan and she is still young. It is a bit of a wake-up call for her really.
"There is certainly an element of her thinking it will help her and Steve cement their relationship, but she does have a genuine desire to have a baby."
Digital Spy
:sick:
^ So this pretty much guarantees that Steve is Leanne's baby daddy too
Daily mirror says viewers saw leanne have a night of passion with steve mc donald. No we did not!
She cant be bothered with her other kids so this storyline does not make sense
Sharon Marshall said on This Morning that if you watched closely, there was a big clue ...I missed it :(Quote:

Not worried at all, quite the opposite :ninja:
Talking to CelebsNow, the star confirmed she's "not going anywhere just yet" given that she has just signed a new contract.
"It's something that everyone toys with now and again, but it isn't something borne out of other people's decisions. It would be a mistake to leave prompted by someone else," Marsh explained.
"This is an amazing job - I'm in a very lucky position and in a great role and, you know, it's not as easy as it seems out there. So to leave something so stable and say, 'I'm off!' isn't for me. It sounds cliched, but it's like a family."
Marsh has played fan favourite Michelle Connor for more than ten years and last week, viewers saw Michelle drop a baby bombshell and push her husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) to make a choice over her baby dream.
Little does she know, he's already got a little one on the way after he found out that Leanne Battersby is expecting his baby. And Marsh doesn't think her character will take the news well when she finds out.
"She isn't the most forgiving person, is she? I really think she's going to go ballistic. I don't know how she's going to get over it. She'll be devastated," Marsh noted.

Unfortunately, it seems the least liked Corrie actors are the ones most likely to stay put. :(Quote:

I'm really hoping the Leanne pregnancy is the beginning of the end of Steve and Michelle. We've been sold the pair as an iconic couple in the mould of Jack and Vera for some years now but I don't know any Corrie fan who's remotely convinced.Quote:

I know the spoilers have Leanne falling for Nick again, but is it possible that Steve and Leanne as a couple is the end game of this baby storyline? At the moment I'm hoping that's the plan.
Too trueQuote:

Talking to the Mirror, the actress revealed a hilarious secret about her childhood years that perhaps led her to playing Michelle McDonald, who is currently wrapped up in a pregnancy triangle with Steve (Gregson) and Leanne (Jane Danson) in the ITV soap.
"I actually had a poster of Simon on my wall when I was younger, which is so weird. He was a heart-throb in the day! I love Simon, he's gorgeous like a teddy bear, he's lovely," she explained.
Marsh added that he can be difficult to film with, but has developed a technique over the years: "You have to look slightly past him so you can't see his face. We just try to complement each other and make it funnier. We enjoy working together."
And if you think that being pregnant in Corrie might make her want another baby in real life, she says that she's "done my bit for motherhood".
Last week, it was revealed that Steve's baby drama is about to get even more stressful when he is told he has a genetic condition that could affect one or both of his unborn kids. He will apparently tell his wife about it, and she'll confide to none-other than Leanne. Uh-oh.

her new budding relationship with robert has begun, wait until they are tearing the clothes off each other in the bistro cellar where all the action happens :p
I thought rather a lot of attention was given to Robert's hand injury - as if it were foreshadowing something. I was half expecting him to drop dead towards the end of the episode. :DQuote:

Me thinks Michelle will lose the baby, blame Steve for the MD situation, then finds out bout Leanne, and whose arms does she fall into????
Fiver on it anyone?
Looks like she will fall into Robert Preston´s arms if the recent storyline is an indicationQuote:

not many seem to be quiet and not wanting to be shouting off their mouth all the time.
I digress, yes will be nice to see Michell in Roberts arms, then Tracy will be ranting again:wall:
It certainly looks like it's being set up that Michelle will fall into Robert's arms when she discovers Leanne's baby's true paternity. I don't know about Michelle losing her baby however because Kym Marsh lost a baby in real life several years ago, so it would be pretty cruel to make her act it out.
As for comparing Michelle to Tracy: yes, Michelle's feisty and annoying, but she's supposed to be a nice person whereas Tracy is truly vile. There's no comparison in my eyes!
But maybe the fact Kym had a real life loss of a baby may make the story more realistic? Yea Tracy is vile, and Michelle is not like her in that sense, what I was meaning was her ability to moan, scowl and generally just be a misery?
