Yesterday the Mirror had a story about Toyah Battersby returning to Coronation Street, which turned out to be a non-story. Let's hope today's Corrie spoiler has a bit more to it. Post Blog Notes -
Charlie Condou, who plays Marcus Dent on Coronation Street has just tweeted this from @charliecondou "First I've heard of it".
And the Coronation Street press office have now confirmed the story's not true.
The Mirror says today that Maria will be pregnant with Marcus' baby. Oh well, as Marcus is a midwife Maria should have no problems if she's alone on a beach this time when she goes into labour, like she did with baby Liam, as long as Marcus is with her.
Speaking of baby Liam, where the chuck has he gone?
The paper says that Samia Ghadie and Charlie Condou, who play Maria and Marcus, were said to be “thrilled” when they heard of the baby plans – not least because it cements their futures in the show. And The Mirror reveals there were plans for Marcus to struggle with his sexuality and fall for Maria as far back as summer last year, but Corrie boses held back on giving the green light to the plotline.
So, what do we think of this development, Corrie fans? I'm a big Marcus fan but not so hot on Maria and this story just kind of leaves me a bit cold. But what do you think?
