If Faye's dad was a returning character, I'd like him to be...

One of the spoilers that Phil Collinson talked about in the Digital Spy interview we blogged earlier was the possibility of Faye's father appearing on the cobbles. It got me thinking. We know that Faye's biological mother was a drug addict. Chances are that her father was one, too. What I would love is for that father to be Becky's former partner in crime, Slug, to be Faye's father!

Think about it. Becky and Slug were friends, lovers and did a lot of illegal stuff together including drugs so it's already established that Slug is or was a user. He brought Becky to her knees after her wedding by planting drugs in her handbag for slimy Cst. Hooch to find and hadn't reformed as he had pretended to Becks that he had.

It's not out of the realms of possibility that he could be Faye's father and I for one would love to see the excellent Marshall Lancaster back on Corrie for a visit!

Becky and Slug - a match made in muck?

There's a good insight into Becky Granger's relationship with the man who's Trouble with a capital T - Slug - over at Digital Spy today. With quotes from Katherine Kelly, who plays Coronation Street's Becky, the article digs into the history between Slug and Becky from their jailbird past to Slug slithering back as Neil into Becky's life.

Ashes to Ashes fans will recognise Slug/Neil as actor Marshall Lancaster who played Chris in the show. And Katherine Kelly also turned up in A2A playing a character called Heather, Sam's auntie in 1973.

Becky's Slug returns to Coronation Street

Remember a while ago it was revealed that Becky and Steve will go for wedding number two but someone from Becky's past will put a spanner in the works? I wonder if it'll be her old boyfriend, Slug?

Actor Marshall Lancaster is returning to Corrie as Slug, says Ian Wylie at the Manchester Evening News. Slug was last seen on the Street in 2007 when he got Becky into all sorts of trouble, and if I recall correctly, stole Roy and Hayley's prize Morris Minor Traveller.
