I presume she buys Liz's share. I doubt Tony would put his share back on the market so quickly - and without telling Tracey.Quote:

When Tracy Barlow's plot to seize the Rovers Return is thwarted, she reveals the whole dastardly plan to Liz in a desperate act of revenge - choosing the day of Steve and Michelle's wedding for maximum impact.
Here, Beverley Callard - who plays Liz - reveals all the gossip on what's ahead for her character in the aftermath of the heartbreaking revelations.
How does Liz react when Tracy tells her about the affair with Tony?
"At first Liz doesn't quite believe it. She's not concerned about the dodgy things that Tracy and Tony might get up to at Barlow's Buys, but she doesn't believe Tony would do anything else. Tracy then starts to show her texts which prove they've been having an affair. Liz still doesn't quite believe it, but she soon starts to realise there could be some truth to it.
"Tracy also tells Liz that they've been trying to get The Rovers from underneath her as well. That just puts the lid on it for Liz, but the one thing she's thinking is that she can't let it ruin the wedding day for Steve and Michelle."
Is it hard for Liz not to let it affect the big day?
"Liz thinks Steve will sink back into his depression because he's still on the edge of his recovery at the moment. Because of that, she just puts a brave face on it throughout the wedding and she just can't bear Tony to touch her at all. All she can do is look at Tracy and Amy during the ceremony. It's not just another woman that Tony has cheated with - it's the mother of her grandchild and the daughter of her very best friend.
"Liz also believed that Tony was the love of her life. She knew that he was a bit of a wheeler dealer, but she was also attracted to that sense of danger. Liz wouldn't go out with an estate agent, would she, let's face it?!"
Does Liz kick herself for not spotting the signs?
"I've actually just been filming some scenes where Liz says to Eileen, 'How could I be such a mug? There we were all that time, and not one bit of it was real'. There are enormous explosions ahead from Liz, but you have to wait quite a while for that! At first, I think think Liz is trying to be as sensible as she can be. She's trying to react with dignity, but she just can't quite keep hold of it all the time - which is great to play!"
We know that Andrew Paul has been cast as Liz's next love interest, Dan. Is this just a rebound relationship?
"It definitely is a rebound relationship, but it's great and it's much more than I thought it was going to be. Corrie's producer Stuart [Blackburn] had told me a little bit about it, but when I saw that they'd cast Andrew, I was delighted - he's a great actor.
"Liz knows Dan already because he works at the brewery. Even though the viewers have not seen him before, the backstory is that he has already taken a shine to Liz in the past. Liz almost said yes to a date with him, but then Tony came along and took all her attentions.
"Liz sees Dan again and they begin to date, but what she doesn't know is that he has history with another character on Coronation Street already. He's going to be in the show for a while."
Do you think Liz will be unlucky in love again?
"Well I hope not, but I would think so! I said to Stuart and one of the script editors, 'Can I please have a really nice relationship?' and they said 'No!'"
We know that Tony does a runner shortly after the truth has been revealed about the affair. Is he leaving the show?
"No, he's not leaving. He only does a runner for now - so he's gone for a little while. What you'll see is that he won't let Liz go. Tony and Dan will get heavily involved as well further on down the line, which is quite good. There's a lot of confrontation there! We haven't seen the scripts for that yet.
"The writers keep telling me that Liz and Tony could get back together. I have to say, as an actor playing Liz, I can't see how. I can't see that Liz would ever forgive Tracy or forgive Tony for what they've done, but the storyliners keep telling me that they will put them back together at some point. I don't know much about that yet. What I will say is that Terence Maynard is fantastic to work with - he's just a joy."

Is Eileen slightly smug when it all goes wrong with Liz and Tony?
"No, but we did think it would be quite predictable. We thought we'd get lots of, 'I told you so' and that Eileen might be a bit smug about it, but there's actually none of that at all. Of course Liz hasn't got Deirdre to talk to, so it's Eileen and Erica who are supporting Liz. I've known Claire King for years and you start to see more of that friendship with Erica, which is great.
"But Eileen really feels for Liz and she really puts Tony in his place as well - she's definitely all for Liz and not for him. Even Jason is on Liz's side!"
What is Liz's state of mind as time goes on?
"At first she's just a bit numb, but then I think it begins to get worse and worse for her. Especially because the character of Tracy is so annoying - you'd batter her, wouldn't you?! (Laughs.) The scenes coming up are great, that's all I can say!"
Does Liz have trust issues now? Could that affect things with Dan?
"She's bound to have. You'd be rummaging through his pockets, wouldn't you?! I so hope we get scenes like that! She'd be going bananas, so I hope they do all that. Liz must be thinking, 'Oh God, I'm never going to fall in love again - I'm just going to be stuck on my own'. I hope that comes through in the scripts I'm about to do."
Does Liz look back and think she took Tony for granted when she was so distracted by Steve's depression?
"I think she certainly would, but the problem with Liz is that she'd always put Steve first. She's just that sort of woman. She'd do anything to make sure Steve is happy. I think Liz might think she brought it on herself, but we've not quite got to that part yet. She starts to wonder if she asked for it, but as soon as she thinks about the fact that it was Tracy, she realises she didn't ask for this."

Obviously it's part of the job, but do you ever find it difficult when you suddenly have to film kissing scenes with a new man?
"I do find that quite difficult, actually. Sometimes you have to do the scenes where you're kissing each other before you've done the ones where you're getting to know each other! That's not happened yet with Andrew and I, but I dread reading the scenes where she goes to bed with him for the first time. You think, 'Please don't make it too soon!' I've only just started working with him, so we'll have to wait and see what happens!"
What does Liz wear to Steve and Michelle's wedding?
"Oh it's awful - just awful! They've done my hair like Amy Winehouse gone wrong. Liz has got this skintight black and white Lycra dress. There's also a black and white monochrome jacket that just doesn't match the dress at all! (Laughs.) Also the shoes - I have never, ever worn such painful shoes in my life. Believe me, I had Uggs on every chance I got!"
How do you feel about Liz still having such a daring dress sense? Do you ever refuse to worse anything?
"When I first came back I asked if I could tone her down, but then suddenly they'll say, 'Oh but it's her son's wedding!' or 'Oh, she's going to this event!' The worst part is having to come out of my dressing room and into the cast green room in Liz's clothes!
"Just occasionally I will refuse to wear something. Yesterday they got me the lowest cut top I've ever seen. I just said, 'No I don't think so. I think if I was 16 and looked like Michelle Keegan, I might go for that! But I'm too pale and too old!'"

It sounds like a busy time for you at the moment - how's the schedule?
"I've been told that I've not got a day off until after the live episode in September. At the moment it's not too bad, though. I'm in all day every day because Liz is in The Rovers, but lots of the other cast are in for one scene, then they have four scenes off, then they do another scene and then have another four scenes off. Your day is so long then. With mine, if they're well-written and if you love the scripts, then you just sail through it and you're buzzing.
"Sometimes you do think, 'Ooh, I'm not sure she'd say that', but I'm straight on the phone if that happens, I'm terrible. Malcolm Hebden has just said that maybe I'm too forthright! (Laughs.) But I know Liz better than lots of people do. It's rare that I have to phone up, but if there was something I wasn't happy about in a script, I would ring up and say, 'Please would you have a think about this?' But when it's such good stuff, it does keep you buzzing."
We also have the big fire to look forward to next week. What was it like to film those scenes?
"We had two weeks of night shoots - 6pm to 6am. In a way, we had such good fun because it was almost like the old days of Coronation Street. I was working with Kate Ford, Jane Danson, David Neilson and Ali King. There was also Alan Halsall and Mike Le Vell - God, we missed Mike when he was away.
"You get some members of cast who moan if they've got one scene. We are a big family and we do all look after each other, but there are some in a family you love more than others, you know?! I have to be truthful! (Laughs.)

Fire at Victoria Court
"It's such a naff thing to say that we're all just one big family and we all love each other. Sometimes if you're working with someone and you've got scene after scene after scene and they're moaning, you think, 'Shut up, you've only worked two days this week!' (Laughs.) We do have the whingers, same as anybody does!
"But on the night shoots, we didn't have any of those and we just had an amazing time. One night Alan came in and he brought 135 Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Another night Amy Kelly who plays Maddie brought in boxes of jelly babies and Maltesers. On the last night, I took in seven bottles of wine. Even though the shoots were quite gruelling, we all said it was just like the old days. We just did it and the weather could have been so much worse than it was!"
Really down to earth women ..now i am wondering who complains a lot on the set.
I wonder too Swmc-I wonder if theres an "R"Quote:

Would Tony do the decent thing and return his share to Liz after his lies and cheating has been found out?? http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ing-628160.gif
^ Maybe he does Perdita as Liz's new man is connected to the brewery so she must still be at the pub
Quote:
Andrew Paul has been cast in the ITV soap as a brewery worker named Dan Jones who ends in trouble with the law.
The actor's contract with Coronation Street is for a few months initially, but the Mirror reports that it could grow into a long-term role.
His character Dan Jones is described as a ladies' man who Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) romances after finding out that Tony Stewart has cheated on her with Tracy Barlow
I would also like to know if the false name that Tony used to buy Steve's shares is valid and makes him the owner?
Corrie’s Liz McDonald finds a new man!
Liz McDonald angrily puts the past behind her in next week’s Coronation Street as she moves on from cheating Tony Stewart. The lying love rat hasn’t been seen on the cobbles since his affair with Tracy Barlow was exposed last week.
And in the wake of the fire Liz decides to cut him out of her life for good and start afresh by having papers drawn up making him a silent partner in the Rovers.
Liz is adamant that when he crawls out of hiding, she will be ready for him, but she is left fuming when she receives flowers from Tony with a note saying how sorry he is. When she hears how Tony’s grovelling to Liz by sending flowers, spiteful Tracy gleefully reveals how Tony paid two thugs to put the frighteners on her.
Still reeling from yet another blow, Liz meets Erica for lunch at the Bistro and is flattered by the attentions of two brewery employees.
Nick’s jealous as Erica flirts with Paddy, while Liz and Dan get on famously and later Sean’s surprised to see Liz back at the Rovers with a new man on her arm.

I Agree - but this is Soapland so real rules never seem to apply.Quote:

Yes, I think you are right
Does Tony own 50% and Carla own 50%, Liz may not even have a job there :pQuote:

Liz (Beverley Callard) was left humiliated earlier in the year after Tracy Barlow exposed her secret affair with Tony, along with their scheming.
Although Tony has been keen to get his relationship with Liz back on track since returning to Weatherfield, she has snubbed his reunion efforts.
However, a new storyline will see Liz vow revenge on Tony for wronging her previously, but her scheme may not go entirely according to plan.
Teasing Liz's revenge, Stuart Blackburn has now hinted that there could be some trouble ahead for the character.
"Liz is going to be looking to get her revenge on Tony," said the Corrie producer. "Good luck with that."
About time!Quote:

I actually liked her and Tony together. Why did they have to make Tony to betray and cheat her like that-especially with Tracy??!
I'm sick of Tracy..

Regarding Tony -most women Lizs age and
experience ( and a lot of those quite a long
younger)would have summed him up and
either
Not got involved
or
Got involved but not taken him seriously
or
Got involved but done unto him what
he would do unto them BEFORE he got the chance.!!
If it hadnt been Tracy -it would have been
someone else!!
Thats really the point being made about Liz - she
will have anyone rather than no one - and then
have unrealistic expectations of the relationship.
And the character could be written in a much
more positive way!!

At last we have a definitive answer of who now owns the Rovers Return:
Read more at: http://coronationstreetupdates.blogs...ve-answer.htmlQuote:
This was information obtained by email straight from ITV's David Nugent:
\"Many thanks for the e-mail about the ownership of the Rovers and I do hope the below clarify matters.
Liz paid off the debts Steve had run up using Street Cars money. Steve then had a huge tax bill, which Tony paid off. He then also agreed to help pay for the wedding. Tony then pretended that all this strain on his finances had forced him into dodgy deals with loan sharks who were now threatening him with violence if he did not pay them back. Steve sold his half of the Rovers to Travis Ltd. (Tony's bogus company). Steve gave the proceeds to Tony, who effectively paid himself! Liz was about to sell her half of the Rovers to Carla but before they could sign on the dotted line, she learned of Tony's plan to get the pub. Therefore, Liz still owns her half of the pub, while Tony owns the other half.\"
So there you have it straight from the studio. Liz does still own half of the pub and Tony owns the other half at the moment. We do know that Liz is trying to keep Tony out of it and we've suspected that she'll get back together with Tony only to get Steve's share back for him somehow.
I love the idea of Liz getting Steve's share of the Rovers back from Tony. I really want this to happen! Go Liz! :cheer:
Coming up on Coronation Street, Liz McDonald realises that a reunion with love cheat Tony Stewart will be far from straightforward.
Upcoming scenes will see Liz (Beverley Callard) contemplate a reconciliation with Tony, before finally throwing caution to the wind and acting on her feelings.
The pair have been apart since Liz discovered that Tony (Terence Maynard) cheated on her with Tracy Barlow, but her change of heart comes when she sees glimpses of his softer side once again.
After they spend an evening in town together, Tony begs Liz to give their relationship another go but she remains non-committal.
Despite her resolve, Liz later finds herself unable to resist Tony's charms when he finds her in the Rovers back room. After Tony turns on the charm, they kiss passionately but are caught out by Liz's shocked granddaughter Amy (Elle Mulvaney).

The moment is clearly an awkward one, but Amy soon becomes the least of their worries when Liz realises that their reunion is thwarted by obstacles.
Liz's biggest concerns surround her son Steve, who temporarily leaves Weatherfield due to Tony's constant presence at the pub.
While Michelle explains to Liz that seeing Tony around The Rovers sent Steve into a tailspin, Erica is also quick to warn him off her friend.
Overwhelmed with guilt over the impact Tony has had on Steve, Liz also faces pressure from Amy when the schoolgirl starts making veiled digs about the kiss she saw. Under strain, will Liz be forced to put a halt to her reunion with Tony?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, November 9 at 7.30pm on ITV.
