When you see this scene of Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street running along a train platform next week, spare a thought for the actress who plays her, Sue Cleaver.While filming the scenes of Eileen rushing along the train platform trying to stop fireman Paul from leaving, Sue did herself a mischief.
Speaking to TV Choice, (by way of Digital Spy) Sue said: "It's like Brief Encounter because Paul's on a train and Eileen's chasing up the platform.
"Unfortunately, I got a bit enthusiastic during filming, tore my Achilles tendon and have been in plaster for a few weeks. It's only just come off."
Ah, so that explains this picture of Sue Cleaver using a crutch and hanging on to cast member John Michie, who plays Karl Munro, last month.
