Three new Corrie characters join cast

Coronation Street's going to get three new characters over the coming weeks.

First off is Luke Strong, played by Craig Kelly. Luke is an old friend of Carla Gordon's whose arrival will cause havoc in Underworld. He arrives to manage Carla's share of the factory after she leaves Tony and he'll turn up on February 20th.

Then we'll meet Julie Carp's mum Paula, played by Sharon Duce. She arrives on February 27th and is an old school-friend of Eileen Grimshaw, so why does she try to avoid meeting Eileen? Mysterious! Sharon has starred in Casualty, Emmerdale and a whole host of great telly programmes.

And finally this month we'll meet Dev's uncle Umed, played by Harish Patel. He arrives on the Street on March 9th to cast his eye over Dev's questionable personal life. Harish Patel is an Indian actor who has starred in the movie Run, Fatboy, Run.

Hamish looks like he's related to Robbie Coltrane... Hamish... I didn't know that was an Indian name.

Uncle Umed... wonder if he's Ravi's brother? Run Fatboy was quite good!

Julie's mom. i've already figured that one out i think. I think Eileen's dad is Julie's father and that's why her friend is avoiding her. Pure speculation but that's generally how soaps work. Eileen's comment about Paula having Julie quite young pretty much nailed it for me. We haven't seen Julie clock eyes on Colin yet have we?

Cheryl: slip of the fingers, it's Harish and I've changed his name! Thanks for spotting it.

Tvor: You're SO good at guessing these things, that'd be excellent if Eileen and Julie were sisters!!

Cheryl said...

ROFL! Ok, that makes more sense. Being part East Indian I was perplexed and was imagining all sorts!

Cheryl, Hamish Patel might have been good - a Scots-Indian uncle for Dev?!
