Sally Webster-Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor)

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has revealed that she is grateful to the soap's bosses for keeping her busy following her recovery from illness.

The actress returned to work at the ITV1 show in spring 2010 after beating breast cancer. Her character Sally Webster was later at the centre of dramatic moments on the cobbles as her marriage to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) broke down.

More recently, Sally has been torn between Kevin and new love Jeff (Steve Houghton), while an upcoming storyline will see her start working for evil Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel).

Dynevor told Soaplife: "I'm so lucky with the storylines I keep getting - Sally unexpectedly sleeping with Kevin again, Jeff coming back on the scene and, looking to the future, some very interesting scenes with Frank.

"I love Coronation Street for keeping me so busy. Having been ill, it wouldn't have been that surprising if the producers had sidelined me a bit because they thought I needed to take it easy. But they haven't. Instead they've given me lots to do. I've been busier than ever, which is just what I need."

She continued: "I rarely think about the breast cancer these days. I've been able to put it right behind me and I'm definitely back in the driving seat. That was just what I needed. I don't want people to look at me and think 'Oh, she's been ill'. I want them to look at me and think, 'Wow, how cool is that? She's so busy'."

Sally's romance with Jeff takes a new twist next week as her daughter Rosie (Helen Flanagan) starts trying to split them up.

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has confirmed that there will be danger ahead for her character Sally Webster as she grows closer to evil Frank Foster in a forthcoming storyline.

Sally recently started working for Frank (Andrew Lancel) after losing her job at Underworld, and the pair become closer in upcoming episodes as they appear to bond over their recent troubles.

After Sally makes a scene at John Stape's funeral in tonight's double bill of the soap, she soon confides in Frank at work as she wonders whether she did the right thing.

Frank has proved to be a sinister presence in Weatherfield this year due to his attempted sex attack on Maria Connor (Samia Smith) and rape of fiancée Carla (Alison King). However, he has managed to convince some of the local residents that he is innocent.

Dynevor told We Love Telly of Sally's new job with Frank: "Sally loves it because he tells her the things she wants to hear - that she's good in the office and that Carla should have made her supervisor.

"He gives her responsibility and invites her out for dinner. I think she loves Frank, is flattered and doesn't believe anything people say about him."

Asked whether Sally is putting herself at risk by growing closer to Frank, the actress replied: "Very much so. I can always tell when Sally is about to have an affair, because she starts to wear nice suits and a blouse. I know there's going to be an affair, and yes, it's going to be very dangerous."

Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.

EVIL Frank Foster has finally got his claws into Sally Webster as the couple KISS under the mistletoe in Coronation Street.

The pair have been out for a festive drink together.

Frank (played by Andrew Lancel) raped his ex-fiancee Carla Connor (Alison King) after she dumped him the night before their wedding.

The monster seduces vulnerable Sally after they have become close following her split from Jeff Cullen.

The scenes will be shown in an upcoming episode of Coronation Street.

Last month Sally Dynevor, who has played Sally for 25 years said: "He is in a position of authority, and for Sally that's enticing."

Sally should use her stitching skills to put stronger elastic in her knickers as they seem to keep falling down.

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has predicted that Kevin Webster would consider killing evil Frank Foster if he ever hurt her character Sally.

Sally is currently developing a dangerous attraction to Frank (Andrew Lancel) after he employed her at his new factory.

Frank has proved to be a sinister presence in Weatherfield as he raped his ex-fiancée Carla Connor (Alison King) in September. He also tried to force himself on Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie) at the start of the year.

Sally is expected to begin a relationship with Frank in early 2012 after he makes a pass at her. Her decision will no doubt shock her ex Kevin (Michael Le Vell) if he finds out.

Dynevor told All About Soap of the story's future: "Sally's not really bothered about Kevin because of the way he's treated her in the past. I don't think he'd be happy if he found out about her and Frank, though.

"And if Frank hurt Sally in any way, I wouldn't like to guess what Kevin would do to him - I think he might even be capable of murder."

Asked how Sally reacts when Frank tries to kiss her for the first time, the actress replied: "She's a bit shocked at first because she didn't see it coming. But as soon as he pulls away and goes to leave, she feels she's ruined the moment. She's a bit taken aback and doesn't know how to react."

Last month, reports suggested that Frank will be killed off at the end of the current storyline.

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has admitted that she was "shocked" when she first heard that her character Sally Webster would embark on a relationship with evil Frank Foster.

Sally was left stunned as Frank made a move on her in last night's double bill of the soap, but fans will see her make a surprising decision later this week as she responds to his advances.

Although Carla Connor (Alison King) has publicly accused Frank (Andrew Lancel) of rape after his attack on her, Sally has wrongly believed him to be innocent for some time.

Dynevor told itv.com of the storyline: "I think the viewers are going to be very worried about Sally. I thought and the viewers thought that I was getting back with Kevin! So I think we'll all be a bit shocked with this storyline, actually. I was certainly shocked by it, but I'm really, really loving it - it's great."

The actress predicted that Kevin's (Michael Le Vell) reaction to Sally's new romance is likely to reignite the war of the Websters.

"Kevin is going to be livid," Dynevor confirmed. "I can't wait to see that first punch that Kevin gives Frank. He's not going to be happy about it, because he's been waiting in the wings now for quite a while.

"It's going to be a very explosive New Year for the Websters - yet again!"

Coronation Street continues on Thursday night at 8.30pm on ITV1.

After standing by her man through thick but mostly thin, Sally Webster is about to see a different side to Frank Foster.
The blonde haired mother-of-two, played by Sally Dynevor, is set to have her heart broken by the factory boss, played by Andrew Lancel, next week on Coronation Street.
She has had to endure weeks of abuse from the residents of Weatherfield when it emerged that she had been dating the man accused of raping Carla Connor, but it seems that Frank has been finding comfort in the arms of another.

It emerges that Sally has been suspecting Mr Foster has been seeing someone behind her back and the nosy neighbour decides to investigate her womanly intuition.
After knocking on his front door and asking him who he has been entertaining a surprised Frank attempts to weasel his way out of it.
Webster doesn't stand for any of his excuses and tries to force her way into his home to see for herself but Frank blocks the doorway and prevents her for crossing the threshold.

Unfortunately for the scheming Foster, his other woman hears the commotion and emerges from the front room.
The new love interest will be a familiar face to viewers as she is played by Catherine Tates former sidekick Niky Wardley.
Niky appeared in The Catherine Tate Show as Lauren Cooper's equally attitude filled best friend Liese Jackson and is set to put Sally in her place when the two characters go head to head.

Andrew, who plays Frank, revealed this week that he loved filming the court scenes that he has starred in and really enjoyed being in the dock.
The actor, 41, who is also known for his role as DI Neil Manson who he played in The Bill for seven years, said: 'It was brilliant. I have always wanted to do a big court room drama.
'I did hundreds of trial-y things in The Bill but I've never been in the dock before. But it was great.

I like to think that he won't get away with it for long

After getting away with nearly raping Maria then raping Carla and getting off with it , why would he rape Sally ? His use for her is over her job as a front for him is over.

poor sally. i dont think so. i'd always thought frank would do the same to sally as he did to carla, but maybe thats too obvious?

But apparentley the prvious spoilers are wrong. He doesnt rape Sally, she discovers he has another Lover

I don't think he will rape Sally he's not that stupid to attack another woman as we know the only reason he was found not guilty was because of the photos of Carla and Peter. If their affair hadn't been exposed he would be in a cell by now. No I think he will move his staff back into the factory and drop Sally like a ton of bricks, she'll be demoted to a simple knicker sewer again as she has served her purpose. Sally will see him for what he is a liar and a rapist.

I can vouch for that

SALLY Webster confronts Anne Foster on Coronation Street, believing she knows something about the murder of Frank.

Thee blonde, dressed in a brown padded jacket and carrying a black bag, goes to grieving mother Anne's house to try and find out more information.

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/a...__1453394a.jpg

Both Anne (Gwen Taylor) and Sally (Sally Dynevor) are suspects in his suspicious demise.

Earlier this month, viewers were stunned when Frank was found not guilty of raping ex-fiancé Carla (Alison King).

And the evil monster set about wreaking havoc across Weatherfield, determined to get revenge on his ex for forcing him into court.

A classic soap "whodunit" has unfolded after Frank Foster was found DEAD in his factory, the Underworld.

Other suspects for his murder include Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), Carla's boyfriend Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) and Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh).

Meanwhile, actor Andrew Lancel has revealed that he only agreed to play twisted rapist Frank if he was killed off.

He recently told Daybreak: "It's sad to leave the job, but it's not sad to leave Frank. He should get his comeuppance — and I've always known what's going to happen."

He said fans found Foster believable as he seems "normal" despite his dark side.

The problem is though that the message this gives out is that the law is useless and the way to go about things is to take it in to your own hands. Why go to court when you can murder someone yourself?

I think yet again the scriptwriters have made an ar$e of things as have the producers. They probably brought Andrew Lancel on board just to play one story. Obviously they intnded him to get convicted of the rape of Carla. Then they discovered what a 'popular' character he had become so decidded to stretch credibilty a bit more and keep him on. The problem is that this is Corrie so criminals dont get away with things forever (unless your name is Kate Ford) so in order to punish him they have to have yet another MURDER on the Street of Death. Why did they have to bother with a rape storyline anyway. It would have been much better to keep Frank as a scheming businessman. That way they could have had him getting involved in dodgy deals and playing a street villan. But no they let us all down by their shortsightedness and inflict us with a character that nobody wants St. Ella of T'rovers

Coronation Street's Sally Webster is left humiliated this week as she finally sees evil Frank Foster's true colours.

Sally has loyally stood by Frank (Andrew Lancel) throughout his recent rape trial and factory dramas, losing friends and allies in the process. However, she's about to receive a nasty surprise as she discovers that the businessman is planning to sack the entire Underworld workforce, wanting to outsource production.

The shocks don't end there, though, as Sally also learns that Frank has been cheating on her with business contact Jenny (Niky Wardley).

Furious over Frank's antics, Sally immediately threatens to expose his plans for the factory, but he warns that the last woman who crossed him lived to regret it. Realising he's admitting to raping Carla, what will Sally do next?

Digital Spy recently chatted to actress Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally, to hear all about the storyline.

How have you found the Sally and Frank storyline?
"I've really enjoyed it, especially on days when we've been filming at Frank's house, because it feels very different to filming on the set of Coronation Street. Sometimes it's quite nice to get away to somewhere new. Also, working with Andrew Lancel and Gwen Taylor has been fantastic. The storyline has been a real treat."


Sally and Frank have some big scenes on the way this week, don't they?
"Yes, it's all about to come crashing down. Frank is very clever, very charming and very manipulative, so he's been able to tell Sally all the things that she wanted to hear. Frank needed Sally through the rape trial, but now that he's been acquitted, he doesn't really need her anymore.

"This week, things unravel and Sally discovers that Frank's really not the man that she thought he was. She realises that she's been really stupid to fall for everything - it's another man that she's fallen into evil ways for!"

How difficult is that for Sally? Was she in love with Frank?
"I think Sally certainly thought she was in love with him, and of course she loved his power, his money and his authority. I think she also saw the relationship as a way of running the factory, which she's always wanted to do! So when it all comes tumbling down, it's really difficult for Sally."


How does Sally feel when Frank makes it clear that he did rape Carla?
"Sally is devastated and she feels like a complete fool, because she's backed him for so long - and that's not something that she did lightly. She's alienated everybody on Coronation Street to be with Frank, but then she finds out that he was lying all along.

"Sally tries to stand up to Frank and hold her own, but then some of his comments towards her get a little bit scary. Then she's absolutely terrified of him, because she realises that he's quite evil. It's a complete shock to her."

Does Sally feel bad for doubting Carla?
"Sally feels really guilty. You'll see lots of scenes coming up where Sally is telling Carla that she feels really bad, and she can't believe that Carla is being so nice about it. Sally even tries to make amends by going into the factory buying cakes for everybody!

"She also has a little breakdown, because Fiz comes round and says that she's there for Sally if she needs somebody. Sally doesn't think she deserves any kindness from anyone, and she can't believe how nice everyone is being to her."


It's no secret that Sally will be one of the suspects when Frank is murdered next week. Do you think Sally is capable of killing someone?
"I don't think she's capable of planning a murder, but I think she could be capable of losing control during an argument - and things could go wrong because of that. I could see Sally getting very angry with Frank, knowing what she knows now. That could mean that she is capable of killing him…"

Kevin is also a suspect in the case, isn't he?
"Yes, and he looks guilty because he's been threatening to go and kill Frank. And of course, Kevin has lost so much in the last 12 months, that it might not be a surprise if he's gone and done it."

Was it sad to say goodbye to Andrew Lancel when he finished filming?
"It was really sad! I got on with Andrew very, very well. I've really enjoyed the whole storyline, because Andrew and Gwen Taylor have been exceptional to work with and so professional. I actually think I've learned a lot from both of them. You change with whoever you're working with, so with some of the Sally and Frank scenes, I've not done scenes like that with anyone else."


On a separate note, do you think Sally and Kevin are meant to be together?
"I do think they're soul mates. They've had their ups and downs, but they come from the same place and they're similar people. Sally is just a bit desperate to be in a position of power, and I think she probably has got quite a good business brain. But she's more suited to be with somebody like Kevin than she ever would be with a businessman.

"Deep down, Sally is probably happier and more secure with Kevin than with anybody else. She keeps trying these relationships and realising that, actually, the grass isn't greener on the other side. Kevin has got a great heart and he loves Sally, so I think she will eventually get back with him, because she wants that stability."

How are you finding life at Corrie in general?
"It's great to get such fantastic storylines. Every time I'm told what my next story is, I get really excited. When I found out about the Frank story, I was over the moon. Where else in television would you get such fantastic stories? For me, I'm really grateful to Coronation Street - I've had a fantastic 26 years full of fabulous stories. I just hope it continues."


Sally is such a flawed character, but is that part of the joy of playing her?
"Yes, absolutely. What's brilliant about playing Sally is that you're exploring so many different avenues with her, and she has got so many flaws. If she was just a really kind, lovely person, there probably wouldn't be many stories for her! I've really enjoyed making Sally quite complex.

"When you're watching the show, one minute you might think, 'Oh, she's nice - I like Sally', but the next minute you go, 'Oh my God, I hate that character - she's horrible!' That's what's so great about picking up scripts where she's being really bitchy - I absolutely love doing that! It's much more fun to play a baddie than the nice housewife, that's for sure."

Corrie has been doing really well in the ratings recently, and the show has picked up some big soap awards too. Is there a buzz on set at the moment?
"Yes, there is. I think it started when our producer Phil Collinson came in and we had the tram crash - that was all very, very exciting. And I was so proud of the live episode - I just thought that was an amazing achievement by cast and crew.

"We keep imagining that it's going to stop, but it doesn't - there's always another really good story around the corner. Long may it continue, because there's some fantastic twists and turns in Corrie at the moment. I think the show is on top form."

Coronation Street's Sally Metcalfe could be playing with fire when she decides to do a spot of matchmaking next week.

Sally (Sally Dynevor) becomes determined to engineer a romance between her daughter Sophie and newcomer Kate Connor, conveniently ignoring the fact that Kate is already engaged.

The storyline begins when Sally is saddened to realise that Sophie (Brooke Vincent) won't be getting into the Christmas spirit this year.

Sophie isn't keen on celebrating the festive season following the death of her girlfriend Maddie Heath, but Sally is hopeful that she can change her mind.

Convinced that a new romance would put a smile back on Sophie's face, Sally suggests that she should enjoy a fun night out with Kate (Faye Brookes).

Sophie, Kate, Sean Tully and Billy Mayhew all end up heading off into town together afterwards, and Sally is thrilled when she thinks she can already spot a romantic spark between Sophie and Kate.

Sally's husband Tim reminds her that Kate is committed to her fiancée Caz, but will Sally really let that stop her from interfering?

if they married in real life would she become Brooke Brookes??

The residents of Weatherfield should be prepared - Coronation Street's Sally Webster will be taking on local politics in 2016.

The new storyline will see an ambitious Sally team up with several of her neighbours in a bid to tackle several issues in the area.

Sally Dynevor, who plays the comical character, said to Inside Soap: "There is no sign of Sally's ambition waning - she is going to be taking on local politics in 2016!

"Tim isn't bothered at all. He just stands behind her, raising eyebrows. But it's a great storyline - we've already started filming it and it has been really fun.

"Sally has Ken, Norris and Mary on board with her - so I reckon she is going to do quite well!"

Backing the storyline, Dynevor admitted that she is delighted with the direction Sally is going in at the moment.

"It has been great to have such lovely feedback from everyone," she said. "The scriptwriters are writing so much comedy for Sally right now and I love it - long may it continue."

Excellent storyline dont know why they never thought of it before. I think she would make a great councillor and it will definately all go to her head

Soon after the above ( which covered several
years)Ken & Deirdre were divorced. !!

At least if Sally wins a seat -she will have a more
entertaining & pleasant consort:cheer:

Forgot about Deirdre and all that storyline. Thanks

Loved Sophie's response to Sally when Sally said that her top didn't say anything about her .

" Mum, it's a top, not a CV."

Old style Corrie humour .
