Corrie's fab photo Friday - September 18, 2009

Ecky thump! It's Gail and RBrian Tilsley strolling down Rosamund Street after an illicit rendezvous. Well, it's not really, it's Helen Worth and Chris Quentin at Lynne Perrie's funeral, but I can make things up, can't I? I don't know about other Corrie fans, but I waste quite a bit of time thinking what might have been. You know, if Val Barlow hadn't been frazzled or if RBrian hadn't been stabbed outside a disco and had stayed in Weatherfield.

Chris Quentin was written out in 1989 after falling out with producer Bill Podmore. Any Corrie actor should know not to get on the wrong side of the production team, and true to form, Chris's character was promptly killed off. What would have been different if RBrian hadn't been murdered? Top of the list for me? No David Platt!

Mrs Barbara Nice joins Coronation Street

The stand-up comedian behind the woman who is Mrs Barbara Nice will be appearing in Coronation Street. But why and who as? Who knows!

Actress Janice Connolly, aka Mrs Nice, was interviewed on the BBC Radio 4 Midweek programme and you can hear her talk about her role on Corrie and whether she'll marry Norris or not. Intriguing, I'm sure you'll agree.

Listen to Janice's radio interview here.
