    Andrew Lancel has joined the cast of Coronation Street, taking on the role of new character Frank Foster.

    The actor - best known for playing DI Neil Manson in The Bill - will make his first appearance on the cobbles early next year when Frank is introduced as one of Carla Connor's (Alison King) business associates.

    According to the ITV soap's official website, Frank goes on to become a new factory client before pursuing Carla's right hand woman Michelle (Kym Marsh) as he looks for love.

    Speaking of his new part, Lancel commented: "I'm made up to be here. It's been a long time coming and I'm a big fan of the show so I'm thrilled."

    He added: "Frank looks like he's going to be fun to play, there's more to him than meets the eye, he's definitely not one-sided."

    He also has the job of bursting into people's homes and repeatedly shouting out their names whenever they are pretending to be someone else. John pretending to be Colin with Barry, and Becky pretending to to be Kelly with the social worker were both interrupted by him.

    Well, so would anyone be if the man who kidnapped their teenage daughter and decided to move across the road from them after being released from prison and was accepted by all their friends, turned out to be a serial killer.

    3rd victim? Who was the second? And he didnt technically kill Colin. He pushed him and he died from injuries sustained in a previous altercation.

    Former Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain has been cast in Coronation Street, taking on the role of Tommy Duckworth.

    Tommy - grandson of the late Jack and Vera and son of Terry - will make a shock return to the cobbles next March, more than ten years after he was last seen on screen.

    As he arrives in Weatherfield, Tommy is in for a sad surprise as he is unaware of the fact that Jack has passed away.

    According to the ITV soap's official website, Tommy has an eye for the ladies and soon finds himself accepted by the local community thanks to his "quick wit and easy charm".

    Speaking of his new role, Fountain commented: "I'm delighted to be joining Coronation Street, especially as I'm playing a Duckworth. I'm looking forward to upholding one of the most celebrated names in soap. I can't wait to start filming in the New Year."

    Meanwhile, Coronation Street's producer Phil Collinson said: "I have long admired Chris, right back to his first appearance on our screens as a young boy in Red Production Company's Bob and Rose. He has the perfect balance of looks and charm and will, I am sure, create a brilliant successor to Jack. The ladies of Weatherfield had better watch out!"

    Fountain will be the third actor to play the role of Tommy, following in the footsteps of Darryl Edwards and Joseph Aston, who portrayed the younger versions of the character.

    Best known for appearing as Hollyoaks bad boy Justin Burton between 2003 and 2009, Fountain's other screen credits include Where The Heart Is, The Royal and Five Days.

    Are they trying to turn Coronation Street into the new The Bill now?


    Incidentally, I do actually like Chris Fountain, so I'm pretty happy about that :)

    In the picture, it says "Kabin rocked: Molly and Baby Jack in the Kabin when the blast hits", but the picture is clearly Dev's shop.

    I think that episode was supposed to be on last night, so it would have been Nov 30th. It was a new day (Dec 1) with Ken pacing around his sitting room :pac:

    I'm really looking forward to seeing the first episode.

    Okay, it will probably be as boring as hell, but it will be cool to see the whole then and now element of it :-)

    Has anyone mentioned that Janice might be one of those that are going to die in the crash. Isnt she to go out of it soon. There was an anouncement made earlier in the year about her leaving. What has happened to her idea of training as a nurse or health care worker by the way. And where has Liz gone. I know she is leaving but has she left already and they are making up excuses as to why she is not in the bar. Last night it was a hair do, i think there was also some vintners do or something.

    Freddie, or one of Clur's other brats boys got stung by a bee and went into Anaphylactic shock. Janice jumped into action and saved his life, because she knew what to do from the training she had done and by all accounts saved his life. Only the experience scared the sh1t out of ehr and she lost interest in health care. Very un-Janice like. This was when that psycho was producer and the charachters all got multiple character syndrome.

    I was just thinking about the blast, and Eoin last night. The blast is caused by something mysterious in the Joinery. Does anyone else think it will turn out it was due to shoddy cow-boy style workmanship from Eoin? He is seriously dodgy and I'd love to see him carted off due to negligence or some such.
