Well she must be popular with someone out there. Stuart Blackburn obviously likes her

Kate Ford has some fans due to her comic ability. She even makes me laugh sometimes! I like Deirdre, though she has the occasional dodgy acting moment herself. She's very good on the whole, though, and is funny too.

I think the producers want to keep the Barlow family together as they're so important to Corrie's history.

I think he had an argument with a short-lived member and gave up SB in disgust. I hope he gets over it and comes back sometime.

Yes, if you remember, I left at the same time basically over the same member. But I then decided I couldn't live without you all.

I'll see if I can persuade Alan to come back - we are Facebook Friends.

Samia Ghadie has announced that she is pregnant with her second child.

It will be Ghadie's second child, but her first with partner Sylvain Longchambon, who has retweeted the news.

Ghadie already has a daughter Freya with her ex-husband, property developer Matthew Smith.

She previously spoke about wanting to have a child with Longchambon in 2013, saying: "In the future it would be nice to have more children as Sylvain is great with kids."


I wonder if they write the pregnancy into the storyline with Luke or if we see more baggy clothes and big handbags

Do we have to have a Maria return? I dread what exit line and return they come up with!
