Rat runs riot in the Rovers Return

This has made me smile. In next week's Coronation Street we get to see the wonderful Craig again (yay!) when his pet rat escapes and runs riot in the Rovers Return.

Craig, played by actor Colson Smith, and his mum Beth, played by Lisa George, are one of Corrie's golden mother-and-son relationships at the moment. The Tinker twosome has great comic potential and I hope we'll be seeing more of them.

I'm still hoping Craig's going to turn out to be Steve McDonald's son after it was revealed that Beth and Steve had a one-night fling many years ago.
