Phil "The Power" Taylor returns to Coronation Street

Looking at The Mail on Sunday online today, I see that darts champion and Corrie fan Phil "The Power" Taylor is to appear in Coronation Street once again in the New Year, as "Disco Dave" from the Flying Horse.

Apparently, Phil is friends with Michael le Vell (Kevin Webster) after meeting him in a charity darts contest.

As a darts fan myself I'm really looking forward to this, and the story sounds good fun, with the Rovers putting up a team for a competition. It's exactly the kind of storyline I watch Coronation Street for.

I'm not putting a link, as the article mentions who's in the team, so it's obviously a bit of a spoiler re. the tram crash, but if it's accurate they're a great bunch.

I CAN say that one of the players is Eddie Windass as we all know that Steve Huison's not leaving (*sniffles but carries on bravely*) till March or thereabouts.
