The Big Announcement has just been revealed - we're getting a trio of new characters to take over behind the bar of the Rovers!
A brand spanking new couple Stella and Karl will be joining the Street in June, played by former Eastenders actress Michelle Collins and Taggart star John Michie.
Steve McDonald is set to employ Stella as his new bar manager, and she'll give poor Steve more than he bargained for by moving in with husband Karl and daughter Eva, who is yet to be cast.
Stella will have a dark secret, like they say about a lot of new arrivals, so that's bound to come out in the first couple of months! And look out for that to have repercussions for some of the Street's residents.
Exec producer Kieran Roberts said: "Karl and Stella's fiery marriage is sure to keep viewers hooked through 2011 and beyond".
What do we think over here at Coronation Street Blog? This will certainly vastly change the dynamics of the Rovers from now on, sounds like an exciting new direction for our favourite boozer! Personally I'm a big fan on Michelle Collins, so looking forward to seeing Stella especially.
