New Love Interest for Liz

Hot on the heels of announcing the casting of Cherylee Houston as Kirk's new love interest Izzy, Coronation Street have been telling Digital Spy all about their latest signing - Izzy's father, Owen, played by Ian Puleston-Davies.

Corrieproducer Kim Crowther says Owen will become Liz McDonald's new love interest, and not get off to a good start with Becky. He's also Izzy's father, and will have another daughter showing up on the Street too.

What are your initial thoughts on the new family unit? Sound off below!

I liked Liz & Lloyd. They sparked and it was different. Now we've got Lloyd settling for a loser like Teresa (I'm sorry, fans, Karen is a good actor, but the character is brassy trashy freeloader with no redeeming virtues).

I hope TPTB integrate this new family slowly, let us get to know them, not just takeover every story.

Why is it when a young character is introduced, their father has to end up having an affair with someone on the street? Its all too trite. I expect Liz will treat this one like dirt like she does all the rest, I would like to see Liz in other storylines which dont just involve her getting a boyfriend. Apart from interfering in Steve's marraige, Liz's character does not seem to be used unless she has a "new man".
