Coronation Street General News Thread

Michelle Keegan has given her thumbs up to Cheryl Cole appearing on Coronation Street as her big sister.
The former X Factor judge has revealed she is a huge fan of the ITV1 soap and of Michelle's character Tina McIntyre, and the actress admitted she would "love" it if bosses invited the singer onto the show.
"Oh my God, I would love that! That would be amazing, yeah!" she told Star.
"I've seen her at dos and stuff, I haven't actually gone over and said hello, though."
Michelle said that Tina's single status doesn't last too long: "Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) and Tina are finally getting together in the new year. Their relationship has been a slow-burner and a will-they-won't-they sort of thing.
"It's something the viewers have been waiting for and they do get together in the new year."
The 24-year-old added that her favourite storyline so far has been the tragic passing of screen dad Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale).
"I know it sounds really grim but probably when her dad Joe died. It was a big storyline for me and I worked with numerous characters, and it was a chance to show every emotion possible. I really enjoyed it," she said.

Kevin Kennedy was interviewed on ITV's Breakast show today about bringing Curly Watts back to Coronation Street. Kevin will be starring in the new Corrie musical Street of Dreams as the hapless Curly.

He says he misses playing Curly and misses the people he used to work with at Coronation Street. He talked about shooting a scene as Curly with Racquel when he named the star after her, a wonderful scene that this fan remembers well. Asked if there was a chance he'd be back on the soap, he says: "You never know" and admits it's no secret that he'd love to return. As would we!

Talking about the new musical, Kevin said it'll be a spectacular, amazing stageshow, narrated by Paul O'Grady. It's an all-singing, all-dancing spectacular and advises people to get their tickets asap as they're selling very fast indeed.

Kevin said his children are too young to remember him as Curly on Corrie so they'll be along to see their dad in the new musical show in Manchester.
