Kym Marsh and Keith Duffy return to Corrie

Kym Marsh has confirmed via her column in New magazine that she and Keith Duffy (Ciaran McCarthy) will return to Coronation Street together in September. The on-screen couple Michelle and Ciaran left the street to work on a cruise ship, giving Boyzone singer the chance to tour with the band and allow Kym her early maternity leave.

"I'm due to return to work on Corrie around September and so is Keith Duffy, who plays Ciaran McCarthy," Kym said. "It makes sense for Ciaran and Michelle to return together as viewers like them as a couple."

It's going to be interesting to see how the return of this couple will interact with the new Rovers Return managers.

Michelle has got to be the most boring Street character ever. Others have the sense to know when to leave. Why doesn't Kym Marsh?

Dilly Daydream said...

So how many bar staff is the Rovers going to have then?

Looney Balloon said...

Why are this pair being allowed to return AGAIN? They have had their time, let them go, talk about not knowing when characters are no longer wanted. Michelle is just awful. Another 'great' decision by Phil Collinson.

Sorry but it will be far from interesting. Both characters have no impact on the street anymore. Neither work at the rovers anymore. They should stay on the ship!

I've never been Michelle Connor's biggest fan but I think that was a lot to do with the huge over exposure that the producers gave the character.

Towards the end of her last stint, before she went on maternity leave, I found myself warming to her a bit more. Perhaps it's the influence of Ciaran on her? Or maybe I'm mellowing or starting to go dotty in my old age.

I do have a problem though with Ms Marsh's publicity machine which will no doubt go into overdrive again when she's back on screen.

Apologies for my earlier post, I forgot that Michelle no longer works at the Rovers.

Old age - it's a bitch!!

I can't stand Kym Marsh, but no character is more boring than Ciaran. I can't think of one interesting thing he has said or done. The Street needs to give some unknown talented northern actors a break, like it did when it started.

Ciaran, may, or may not be out of work when he returns to the Rovers. It probably depends on how he left on terms with his previous employer, and if he is required by the new management.

Michelle, as Dilly Daydream pointed out, was last working at Underworld. Does Maria currently have her job? Maybe this is why we persume Michelle will return to the pub?

I can't see that they'll both be able to turn up one day and assume their positions in the pub - will they be seen as surplus? Or will they be back onscreen before Karl & Stella make their debut and thus be able to retain their jobs?

Michelle would have knocked Frank's head six ways into Sunday, so too bad that storyline didn't have her in it. Glad to see Ciaran back, hope he has many scenes with Peter and little Simon but moves on from Michelle....she is SO annoying.

Not looking forward to this!

Kym said "It makes sense for Ciaran and Michelle to return together as viewers like them as a couple." Hmm, missed that blog!

They should split the pair of them up and have her as a common tart living over the kebab shop. The only good storyline she had in the last year was when she copped off with the bloke who caught her in the bath and that went...? Forgotten as usual.

It just doesn't make sense that either of them would return, especially Michelle as she has no real links to the Street now, and it holds bad memories for her as both brothers died in Weatherfield.

Honestly, why do they think anyone cares?

Finally..maybe and end to some of these ridiculous storylines..Fiz/John...Windass adoption of Carrie oops..Faye..Maria/Frank attempted rape/feeble grope..Sally/Kevin carry-on ad naseum and the horrible trainwreck that is Becky and Steve et al. Maybe they'll be boring as old boots but it's going to be better than what's been happening lately..hopefully

Actually, neither one was working in the Rovers when they left - Michelle was in the factory with Carla and Ciaran had been out of work since the Joinery blew up. So the writers effectively have a blank canvas for when they bring them back - they'll have to come up with somewhere to slot them in!

Donice said...

I actually like Michelle and Ciaron they might not the most interesting charaters but it's better than story lines like the stapewick saga ,the becky & steve saga Boring Kevin & Sally saga Wiundass & Faye saga and the Frank & Maria rape that wasn't a rape just Maria going over the top again saga they are the only people we are seeing at the moment exept Syliva Roys mum who is the only interesting charater at the moment!
