Corrie have announced a major new casting today for 2011. Andrew Lacel (also known as D.I Manson from The Bill) has joined the cast of Corrie as 'Frank Foster' a business associate of Carla Connor. Let's hope he becomes the new Danny or Mike Baldwin!
I'm over the moon about this as The Bill had a fantastic cast, who were sadly left out of work after the show ended, Andrew was one of the best actors in The Bill, so to have him join the cobbles is excellent.

Not the first from the Bill. The guy who played Frank Burnside was also in it many years ago as a friend of Mike Baldwin IIRC.
We've also had Matt Ramsden the too tall doctor and bookie Dan Mason.
Oh good - I liked him in the Bill.
I'll always remember him as the drug user in Queer as Folk - truly scary.
Oh I was so in love with him when he was in The Bill. Feel free to join my facebook group - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=5422283050
Why do we have to have well known faces all the time? He was called the shop dummy for his acting skills as DI Manson so I recall so I am not particularly looking forward to this one. There must be plenty of eagar unknowns out there.
With lots of ex-Bill actors looking for work I'd have been over the moon if they'd landed DCI Jack Meadows ( Simon Rouse) instead.
Excelled at salt-of-the-earth type of characters.
DI Manson is 2 or 3 generations younger so I s'spose it's no contest as far as the Corrie production team are concerned. And what they gonna do about his London accent?
At least Jack's was broad Yorkshire.
Hes from Rufford Lancashire and hes also an actor who can do diferent accents you know.
Oh, I'd love to see Jack Meadows in Corrie, he's great!
As Merseytart said, he was a very scary (and convincing) gay drug user in Queer as Folk long before the Bill. Anyone who saw that would be convinced about his acting skills. Plus, we need some maturer male eye candy. I'd rather look at Andrew Lancel than wrinkled, (sexy as Betty's corns), Big Ears Price.
Hes from Rufford Lancashire and hes also an actor who can do diferent accents you know.
Quite so - and yes, accents and expectations. . .
Areas of Britain and associated accents is a bit of a misnomer as far as the accents you'd expect to hear, go.
Tomorrow, amongst the regular colleagues I'll be working and communicating with, will also be those speaking with,
a Welsh accent,
a Scottish accent,
an Irish accent,
a Polish accent,
an Asian accent (both Pakistani and Indian),
and then there's mine: northern!
(And up until last year you'd have heard an aussie accent to).
And the area we're all working in?
- The south West! Land of the Wurzels and 'Ooh arr, ooh arr' and 'well I've got a combined harvester'.
I bet anyone working in Manchester could probably say similar. However, Corrie just woudn't be Corrie without the familiar broad vowels of the Lancashire accents, would it?
