Tyrone Dobbs and Kirsty Soames

[Perdita]

Coronation Street newcomer Natalie Gumede has confirmed that her character Kirsty Soames will remain at war with Tina McIntyre for some time to come.

Kirsty joined the soap as Tyrone Dobbs's (Alan Halsall) new love interest in September, but she has constantly clashed with his feisty housemate in recent weeks.

"It's been an intense month at Corrie, as the Kirsty/Tyrone/Tina triangle ramps up a gear," she explained. "I have loved every minute at work so far, and I'm excited that the storyline will continue well into next year!"

Gumede continued: "As we're winding down for Christmas, I always become quite reflective at this time of year - I think about what 2011 has meant for me, and what possibilities 2012 will bring.

"Coronation Street has changed my life beyond measure in the last six months - it has been a huge blessing but has also brought fresh challenges, which require embracing and adjusting to.

"I will be spending much more time away from London - my home of the last 10 years - in 2012, so I look forward to getting to know Manchester a little better."

Recent reports have suggested that Kirsty will tell Tyrone she is pregnant in the New Year.

Scheming Kirsty finally shows her true colours during a fresh row with Tina later this month.

Tina (Michelle Keegan) becomes increasingly suspicious that Kirsty is out to get her in the coming days, but her accusations make her sound paranoid and nobody believes what she has to say.

Tension between the pair escalates when Tina's bags are searched by a store detective while she's out shopping. A few days later, there's more 'bad luck' as Rita is stopped by police for speeding after Kirsty overheard that she was due to lend her car to Tina.

Convinced that Kirsty (Natalie Gumede) is behind it all, Tina confronts her at Number 9 - and the bitchy police officer warns that there'll be much more trouble to come if Tina doesn't stay out of her way.



Unfortunately for Kirsty, Tyrone (Alan Halsall) has heard the whole thing and he's stunned to realise that Tina was right all along. Deciding where his loyalties lie, he promptly kicks his girlfriend out!

Go Ty!

Well goodbye to Looney tunes. How long do you think it will take for the writers to think about putting him and Maria together again or worse Ty and Michelle.

Always nice whenever they put a policeman or woman in a soap they're corrupt and/or bonkers!

We have had it in Emmerdale, plus all the cops in Deadenders and half the cops in The Bill. Bring back Z Cars althoughI wonder what the PC Brigade would make of a peeler called PC Fancy

I don't know if this is the last we'll hear of Kirsty - didn't I read in the spoilers a while back that she gets pregnant (or at least claims she is)? Tyrone will probably take her back if that's the case

The soap police on Corrie seem to have short memories. Fiz is only out on bail yet we havent seen DC Redfern round making further enquiries about John Stape. Following Beckys allegations and Traceyluvs storm out of T'Rovers when approached by the local Plod is that the end of the investigation.

Isn't it Becky who finds out that Traceyluvs miscarriage occured days before the alleged fall ? The Police would have found out if they'd checked her story out. Dreary wouldn't take long to crack under questioning. So I reckon the local constabulary don't do
a great deal.

Or Ty with Tina
