In this week's fab Inside Soap magazine, there's an interview with Natalie Gumede, who plays bunny boiler Kirsty Soames. The interview with Natalie is part of the mag's interviews with ladies of soapland who'll sizzle this summer. Ooh, I do like a bit of alliteration.
Anyway, Natalie says that Kirsty's parents will be arriving in a couple of months to Coronation Street and she says: "Her father is a force to be reckoned with! Of course, nothing can justify Kirsty's behaviour so I don't think the viewers will have any sympathy for her. Even so, it may give them more of a clue as to what made her the way she is."
She also reveals that she loves working with Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone in Corrie. "There's a lot of trust between us," she says. I can scream and shout at him in our scenes and when the director calls 'cut' I know that everything will be ok."
That's good to hear, because it does sound as if there'll be a lot of screaming and shouting going on between Kirsty and Tyrone in the upcoming domestic storyline.
Natalie has been nominated for Best Newcomer in this year's British Soap Awards. Have you voted yet?
