Reading next week's Coronation Street episode previews over at http://www.corrie.net/, it seems as if we might be losing Sylvia. Say it ain't so, Corrie!
The preview reads as follows:
Thursday 16 February: Milton asks Sylvia to move to America with him. Discussing his invite with Roy, Sylvia's hoping that Roy will beg her to stay but will he?
Friday 17 February: Milton and Sylvia prepare to leave for the airport. Will Roy be able to bring himself to admit he doesn't want his mother to go?
I'm guessing that Roy won't admit to his feelings in such a big way, he's not that kind of a man. So does this mean that Sylvia will be leaving Coronation Street next week? If it does, let's hope Stephanie Cole will return very soon indeed to the role of Roy's mum Sylvia Goodwin.
When she first arrived, I was a little sceptical, thinking that Corrie had brought in a woman of the same age and temperament as that of the late Blanche Hunt. The danger being that Sylvia was brought in as a replacement for Blanche, and fortunately it's turned out to be anything but. Stephanie Cole has made the role of Sylvia her very own. The relationship between Sylvia and Roy has been a joy to watch and has helped explain more about Roy's character too, finding out a little about what makes him tick and why he is the way he is.
When Stephanie Cole joined Corrie, she did say she was only going to be in it for a short while, so could this be end for Sylvia on the Street? If she does jet off to the States next week with Milton, this fan hopes she jets back to the Street very soon indeed - and she brings her uke-banjo with her for a duet with Deirdre on the harmonica.
