Yet another 'cellmate' coming on to the Cobbles, they ought to sell Ashley's butchers shop which never features in any stories any more and build a prisioners rehabilitation centre.
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds good!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is a top notch actor, and should bring some real life to the show. Tony was an excellent character, and I am so glad he will still be around for a while. The two of them hold some real potential for some great and thrilling storylines. Well done, Corrie.
ReplyDeleteNow this is exciting and yet another reason to be on tenter hooks for Tony's return. I think this might just be my Corrie highlight of the year because Gray O'Brien just lights up the screen.
