According to the Sunday Mirror today, Tina McIntyre is going to start work behind the bar at the Rovers Return. The paper quotes "A Coronation Street insider" who said: “Show bosses see Michelle as the new Bet Lynch and think she’s got a huge future ahead of her. She is young, gorgeous, a great actress and hugely popular with viewers. They think she’ll be the sexiest barmaid in the history of the Rovers.”
The article goes on to say that in the tram crash later this year, Tina will be seen rescuing drinkers when the roof of the Rovers caves in after a tram crashes into the Kabin and the Corner Shop. Those inside the Rovers are trapped and Tina will be among a number of heroes who come to the rescue. So, sounds like she'll not be amongst those getting killed off, then?
