Interviewing people is genuinely one of my favourite things to do in life, and I’ve been very fortunate over the past few years to have been able to indulge in that passion, both at Coronation Street and elsewhere. I love the uniqueness of each act of sitting down and conversing with someone, and what the… Continue reading Coronation Street Blog Interview: Sophie Thompson
Josh Tucker seems just the kind of bloke you’d like to have around. Affable, funny, cheeky and good company, he’s seldom without a group of enthusiastic hangers on, despite being new to the street.

On Monday’s Corrie we had the pleasure of experiencing yet another when Maria burst in in the middle of Aidan and Eva’s lavish ceremony. A rather smug Eva tells her she’s… Continue reading Coronation Street Blog Interview: Samia Longchambon
