Her latest post, called The Dark Side of Kirsty, is all about the upcoming domestic abuse storyline where Kirsty will beat up Tyrone.
Interestingly, Natalie says that the abuse storyline has been on the Corrie scriptwriter's cards for Kirsty right from the very start since Natalie joined the Street in July last year.
On her blog, Kirsty says: "I feel honoured to have been trusted with such a sensitive subject. I was never sure at what point it would come up however, or how it would come about – indeed I am only just discovering myself why Kirsty is such a damaged individual, and as of today I have no idea how the plot culminates!
"Alan (Halsall, who plays Tyrone) and I have been lucky enough to be privy to some case studies on the subject, and there is also a lot of trust between us as actors (apart from when he is playing practical jokes on me!) so I hope we are able to bring some truth to the story and do it justice. Reflecting real life is one of the many things Coronation Street does so well, particularly with difficult subject matters that often happen behind closed doors, and I think it is so important that these stories are brought to light."
It's going to be uncomfortable to watch, that's for sure. Poor Tyrone.
