Michelle Collins and John Michie join as Stella and Karl

The Coronation Street actress, who plays Stella Price, has been criticised by some sections of the press for her Northern accent.

Collins interrupted Walsh's special comedy turn by bellowing, "Boring now!", according to The Sun.

"Bradley did a routine where he turned the camera on to various stars and guessed what they were thinking," an insider explained.

"For Michelle, it was something along the lines of 'I wonder if there's an award for an accent?'

"Then he made a jibe about Emmerdale's Paddy wishing he was at a Greggs bakers and one about Corrie's Antony Cotton and kangaroo anuses from I'm a Celeb."

The source went on: "Michelle was not happy and shouted at him: 'Boring now!'"

However, the pair apparently "made up" afterwards, and Walsh - previously a cast member on Corrie - "blamed scriptwriters".

An informant added: "But it really chilled the atmosphere and was pretty embarrassing all round.

"The show's producers promised they would cut it from the final edit for Wednesday night's broadcast. But it remains to be seen whether or not it will stay in."

Would be good if it was kept in , might be worth watching the whole boring charade then. Doubt if it will though.

Coronation Street star John Michie has expressed his excitement over the future of his ongoing affair storyline.

The actor's character Karl Munro and Rovers barmaid Sunita Alahan are currently enjoying a fling, betraying their respective partners Stella and Dev.

Michie has now told Inside Soap that he expects an explosive reaction when Stella discovers the truth.

He commented: "When Stella finds out about the affair, she's going to want to kill Karl. It would probably be treated as a crime of passion, too! Stella has put a lot of faith in Karl, so that total abuse of trust will completely devastate her.

"As an actor, I'm looking forward to the moment when she does find out, whichever way it ends up being written. There's very little doubt that the sparks will start flying."

Michie also confirmed that Karl will be on good terms with Stella's mum Gloria, played by Sue Johnston, when she joins Weatherfield in the coming weeks.

He said: "Karl actually gets on with Gloria really well. She also quite likes him, and they have good banter. But she'll surely hate him if he hurts her daughter in any way."

Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati has said that Sunita's affair plot has made her feel like she is living "in a world of misogynists".

The actress took to Twitter and complained about how harshly her character had been judged for cheating on Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) with Stella Price's (Michelle Collins) partner Karl Munro (John Michie).

"Use of the word "slag" for a woman who is "cheating"commonplace with you tweeters and nothing is said about the man WOW #justsayin #baffled," she wrote.

"Since doing this story about sunita and being back on twitter I realise that we are still in a world of misogynists #2012...yawn yawn yawn bored of the misogyny now!"

When a follower pointed out that the backlash could be because Sunita's affair painted her as a hypocrite, Gulati replied: "Change is as good as a rest...maybe but most people are [hypocrites] when u scratch the surface great debate.... That's the beauty of drama !"

Gulati recently said that she believes Sunita is genuinely in love with Karl.

In a new interview, Harkishin suggested that Dev has been "honourable" as his relationship deteriorates.

Coronation Street star Jimmi Harkishin has offered advice to troubled alter ego Dev Alahan.

Shopkeeper Dev's wife Sunita, who earlier this year admitted she was unhappy in their marriage, is now having an affair with Karl Munroe.

Harkishin believes that Dev ought to tell Sunita to leave her children and family home at number 7.

"I would say, 'Dev, mate, you've tried your best. Throw her out and find a 22-year-old with a bit of cash'," he told Soaplife.

The 53-year-old actor recently predicted that Dev will "be prepared to sweep an affair under the carpet if it meant his family was secure".

Shobna Gulati last week claimed that her character Sunita is in love with Dev as well as secret lover Karl.

Over the coming months, viewers will be left to wonder if either Dev or Karl's partner Stella Price will find out about the affair.

Coronation Street star Michelle Collins has revealed viewers have been urging her character Stella Price to leave boyfriend Karl Munro.

Rovers landlady Stella is about to discover ladies' man Karl has been cheating on her with barmaid Sunita Alahan and Michelle told the Coronation Street website how viewers have definitely taken Stella's side over the affair.

"They hate it! They keep telling me to 'get rid of him'!" she revealed.

Michelle added: "I think she is making the right decision, Karl is a loser who is only going to hurt her again if she gives him the chance to. A leopard never changes his spots!"

The soap star revealed this is not the first time Karl has cheated, but Stella feels even more betrayed as she thought Sunita was her friend. She feels humiliated and she and Sunita have a very public catfight.

Michelle said: "She probably feels more betrayed by Sunita, as she took her for a friend and has done so much to help her recently. She feels betrayed by both of them, but I think she expected more from Sunita.

"It has happened before with a few other barmaids. Stella has forgiven him in the past and learnt to trust him again, but this time it's different. She hates him for what he has done to her."

And Michelle doesn't think Stella will be in any hurry to find a new man.

She said: "I think she should concentrate on having some fun. Stella isn't the type to have an affair, so he would have to be single. But after Karl, I think she will focus more on looking after herself and trying to get over the affair."

I agree that Stella should leave Karl.





She should return to Albert Square


He should return to Glasgow


and the gormless Eva back to Hotten Prison

"It has happened before with a few other barmaids.

"Stella has forgiven him in the past and learnt to trust him again, but this time it's different. She hates him for what he has done to her."

Collins also seemed to rule out a reunion for the pair, despite having previously proclaimed that Stella is in love with Karl.

"I think she should concentrate on having some fun," she added. "Stella isn't the type to have an affair, so he would have to be single. But after Karl, I think she will focus more on looking after herself and trying to get over the affair."
