The latest in celebrity casting to hit the cobbles comes from ITV.com who reveal today that veteran actor, Robert Vaughn, is to appear in Coronation Street.
You know that cruise that Sylvia has won? Seems she's going to meet a gentleman called Milton on the cruise and he arrives in Weatherfield to find her. According to ITV this will set the "cat among the pigeons". We've not heard if actor Stephanie Cole is leaving or if her tenure at the cafe was only temporary so we don't know if this leads to her departure or if she'll be embroiled in a romantic entanglement.
What I'd like to see is Dennis Tanner finding himself suddenly jealous over the attentions paid to Sylvia. I've noticed a few little sparks of friendship between them even though Dennis is living with Rita and they've become quite comfortable companions. Is it more than that? I'm sure Dennis is fond of Reet but perhaps he'll realise Syl is more his type.
Any storyline with the veteran actors is great in my books and I'd much rather see an actor like Vaughn getting a cameo than one of the many tabloid celebs that say they want to be in Corrie just so they can get their name in the papers.
Robert Vaughn is well known for his iconic role as Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E in addition to his many other television and film roles. His IMDB entry is here.
