Where have you seen Dan the brewery man before?

If you're wondering where you've seen Dan, Dan, the Brewery Man on Coronation Street before then wonder no more.

Dan is played by actor Andrew Paul, who played PC Dave Quinnan in The Bill.  He's also appeared on stage and on TV in many productions. You can find out all about them at his Spotlight CV.

Although Andrew Paul looks a lot like him, Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, confirmed on twitter that he isn't her husband Robert Beck! 

Robert played the role of Jimmy Dockerson in Corrie, one of Tony Gordon's henchmen.

Liz's new fella turns up in Corrie next week

Tony? Tony who?   Wherever he's gone to, Liz has more on her mind than Tony next week when a new fella walks into the pub and into her life.

The previews for next week's Coronation Street says that Liz receives flowers from Tony who tries to grovel his way back into her life.  When Tracy finds out about the flowers, she tells Liz how Tony paid two thugs to put the frighteners on her.

Liz meets Erica for lunch at the Bistro and is flattered by the attentions of two brewery employees. Nick is jealous when Erica flirts with Paddy, while Liz and Dan get on famously.

Sean is surprised to see Liz back at the Rovers with a new man.

Am I the only Corrie fan who's already named him "Dan, Dan, the Brewery Man?" 

Dan will be played by The Bill actor Andrew Paul. Find out more about him here.

The Bill actor joins Coronation Street

Actor Andrew Paul, who played PC Dave Quinnan in The Bill is joining Coronation Street.

Andrew will play Dan Jones, a laddish brewery worker. Dan will find himself on the wrong side of the law in Corrie when he tries it on with the ladies.

Mr Curry Sauce told the Daily Mirror: “Dan is a good looking charmer with a great line in patter and Liz McDonald is soon well and truly on the rebound from Tony and falling for him. But what she doesn’t know is he has history with another Weatherfield woman and when his dark secret is exposed it will reveal his true personality."

He has just begun filming on Corrie and will be seen on screen for the first time next month.
