John Michie's wife says he'll ruin Corrie

...for her. John Mitchie, who is to join Corrie soon playing Karl the boyfriend of new Rovers landlady Stella, has said that everyone is happy that he has joined Corrie - except for his wife.

It would seem that John's wife is a big Corrie fan and that to her Corrie is a bit of a "fantasy world" and it won't be now that she'll see her husband on the cobbles!
John says: "The show's been a good escape and a release from the hardships of reality - but now she's going to be seeing my ugly mug on screen." I don't know about 'ugly mug' but I can personally see where his wife's coming from.

Corrie has always been a piece of escape for me personally, but what about you? How would you feel about Corrie if your significant other or someone you knew in your day-to-day life suddenly popped onto the cobbles? Would it ruin it for you?

It would never ruin it for me, but it would be strange!

Nah, if he were on Corrie, I'd get to hang out with the actors :)

And apparently John Michie is also going to have to modify his Scottish accent to a Mancunian one. I guess he and Ms. Collins will have to share a language coach

Be interesting to see if he quits his role in Taggart as he cant really appear in both.

one of my best friends' baby was in the show playing a very young amy barlow for about 6 months - that was a bit strange to see, but i felt happy for my friend!

Taggart has been axed so i dont think that will pose a problem!
