Who will play Carla Connor's brother?

News that Carla Connor's brother Darren could be turning up in Weatherfield comes at a curious time. Now then, I could well be wrong here but I have a theory as to who would, and indeed could, play someone who has spent eight years in Strangeways for armed robbery.

Because at the same time as news hit that Carla's brother could arrive, David Threlfall (Frank Gallagher from Shameless) is rumoured to be joining Coronation Street too. A coincidence? I'd like to think not so I'm keeping fingers crossed, just in case.
