Corrie producer Phil Collinson: "Becky's one of the biggest Corrie characters in the last 20 years"

Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson has been interviewed by David Brown of the Radio Times.

Phil talks about Robert Vaughn's arrival as Milton, Nigel Havers returning as charmer Lewis, Katherine Kelly leaving, Antony Cotton returning and Craig Charles taking a break.

Phil rightly heaps praise on actress Katherine Kelly and talks about her leaving.  However, this fan reckons he undermines most of the current Corrie cast when he says: "Becky's been probably one of the biggest characters in the last 20 years on Coronation Street."
