Coronation Street star John Michie has discussed his role as murderer Karl Munro.

Karl is planning to kill Dev Alahan as he comes closer to revealing the truth about Sunita's death.

Michie told The Sun: "I don't think Karl has it in him to kill in cold blood, but he is unstable. The only thing he cares about is Stella (Michelle Collins) - and now he's got her back, he's desperate to hold on to her.

"But if he's pushed too far he'll react on the spur of the moment, so he is dangerous."

Michie said of the reaction he gets from fans: "I get a lot of attention - from sick people!

"It's funny but lots of ladies do seem to have a soft spot for him even though he's done bad, bad things.

"Women do like a bad man. The thing is, you never actually saw Karl do the dastardly deed [killing Sunita] so maybe if you're someone who's attracted to him, you can gloss over that bit."

The actor also spoke about whether he would ever return to his role as DI Robbie Ross in Taggart.

"I'm sure there's a good chance Taggart will return," he said. "I'd certainly be up for another series or even just a one-off to tie everything up.

"It would be great if someone like [Doctor Who writer] Steven Moffat, who's from Edinburgh, wrote the last episode."

Michelle Collins as revealed that she takes things "day-to-day" when it comes to her future on Coronation Street.

The soap star, who has played Stella Price since June 2011, explained that her many years in the industry have taught her to expect the unexpected when it comes to acting gigs.

Asked what her Corrie future holds, Collins told the Daily Star Sunday's TV Extra magazine: "I don't know. At my age I tend to live life day-to-day really.

"I think as an actor you're used to not knowing what's around the corner, so I tend not to think that far ahead.

"I'm in my third year now. It's weird because I don't live in Manchester. I come and go, so I don't feel part of the furniture. But that's good because you should never become complacent."

On what kind of wedding dress she wants for Stella, she continued: "A Big Fat Gypsy Wedding one! I don't know - it's weird because I've never been married but I've been married so many times on screen.

"I do love a wedding though! Especially my own! Stella hasn't been married either, so I think she will go for it big time because it's her first marriage and they've been together a long time. I'm hoping she'll go for it!"

She added that she doesn't know how Stella will feel when she finds out that Karl started the Rovers fire, but there will "definitely be a wedding".

I bet they do get married just to make it more devastating for Stella when she finds out what Karl's really like. Whenever the truth does come out, I hope that it is at a similar time to Leanne finding out about Kylie and Nick, as I think there could be some interesting scenes there. Although Nick strictly didn't cheat on Leanne, I can see them breaking up when the truth is out.

well we know now the wedding will be september will karl be gone before that time, i half expect the truth to come out at xmas

Here's hoping he gets his words wrong and says "I did it". Can't understand why Dev gave up on the pursuit of Karl after getting so close to the truth? Think lizanne may be right, this is going to be the Xmas shock blockbuster.(yawn).

Coronation Street actor John Michie has revealed that he would love to play Sir Alex Ferguson.

Michie, who plays villain Karl Munro on the ITV soap, told Radio 2 listeners that he would relish the opportunity to play Manchester United's legendary manager.

While taking part in a phone-in on who should play Ferguson, Michie said that the club's football fans had suggested his name as a possible frontrunner.

He said: "My name popped up a few times. I know he's a massive Corrie fan, as is his wife Cathy. That would be a dream role."

Michie also revealed that he remains good friends with former Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati, who played Karl's lover Sunita Alahan and ultimately met her soap demise at the hands of the rogue.

He said: "I've been to Old Trafford with Shobna and we had a great time."

Michie recently said that some soap fans feel sorry for Karl's predicament after Sunita perished in the fire he started.

I feel sorry for him having to live with St Ella.
