I suppose so - Kevin had an affair with Natalie while married to Sally, and Sally had an affair with both Chris and Greg, so this is the third time she had cheated.

Kevin and Sally also had an affair with each other, the night before he married Alison. I suppose it is boring now having the same thing again. I suppose its a bit different this time as she is having an affair to keep her job to get more money for a better life. I mean Ian can hardly compare the Chris Collins in the look department.

I agree that Sally's become a great character over the past year.


Don't forget the mini-affair Sally had with the decorator just before her second wedding to Kevin.

And whilst on the subject... Chris Collins really was gorgeous wasn't he?


Oh yes I forgot about him, so Sally has had the most affairs - this is the 4th one now, she was faithful to Kevin until he went with Natalie though, that changed her a bit.

Chris Collins was by far the best looking out of all the men in Corrie IMO. Greg Kelly was quite nice too as was Angie's boyfriend Neil (most recently seen in the Granada Plus episodes) In a magazine I read that Charlie has been voted Most Kissable Soap Stud or something, I for one dont like him.

She also had a fling - with Alex the decorator- while preparing to remarry Kevin! Rolling Eyes taking the "toll" up to 5.

She'll be rivaling the likes of Elsie Tanner and Ken Barlow soon , as the people who had the most lovers in the show. So thats Kevin Webster, Joe Broughton, Chris Collins, Greg Kelly, Danny, Martin Platt, Alex, Ian. She'd been with a few lads before she was in the show too, thats why Hilda wasnt keen on Kevin going out with her. Anyone else I missed?

Agree completely. Such a shame that Matthew Marsden left to pursue his short-lived pop career. Anyone know what he's up to these days?

I was never a fan of Greg Kelly - he always seemed a bit too slimy for my liking... although if the rumours are to be believed, you're more likely to be in with a chance with him than the others!

I've slowly warmed to Charlie. He looks a lot better since he had his hair cut, and I was surprised at what a fit body he's got when he had his top off a while ago. I wouldn't crawl over broken glass for him, but if it was on offer...

Found this on the IMDB for Matthew Marsden

Quote:
British actor/singer Matthew Marsden is quickly making his way in America. He began his acting career in the UK and rose to stardom from his role on the long-running ITV series "Coronation Street," as Chris Collins. He left the show to pursue a music and acting career in the US and hasn't looked back since.

Since moving to the US, Marsden has been working successfully on feature film, television and music. He starred in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down and he was the lead in USA's epic movie "Helen of Troy."

Marsden's career started in the UK with the series Emmerdale. He soon landed a series regular role on the television series "Island" which led to "Coronation Street" for which he was voted Top Newcomer at the National Television Awards. He went on to star in the independent drama Shiner, opposite Michael Caine and the film Les Soeurs Soleil. In addition, Marsden signed with Columbia Records and recorded the hit single She's Gone, with Destiny's Child, as well as a solo album called Say Who.

Marsden earned his degree in performing arts at Middlesex University. He was also a member of the acclaimed National Youth Theatre


I hadnt heard that rumour about Greg Kelly, I liked him at the time he was in the show, but in recent interviews he had longer hair so I didnt like him so much then. To be honest the only good looking ones in Corrie atm IMO are Jason and Warren. Emmerdale on the other hand have Scott and youngest three King brothers (Matthew, Carl and Max) who I think are all nice.

Thanks for the info on Matthew Marsden, Jez. Looks like he's quite busy, so a return to the Street probably isn't on the cards!

I'd add The All New Adam Barlow to the list of attractive Corrie blokes as well.

Yeah thats a shame

Tonights first episode was good - LOL at Schmichael with Cilla's make up and the pink poodle.

Looks like the Cadbury Creme Egg adverts are back as well.

As much as I dislike Martin and Kayee the storyline with them was good tonight, but isnt Martin a hypocrite for suggesting Kayee has an abortion after the way he went on at Gail 15 years ago when she said she intended to have one.

I wished Katies mum and dad would get rid of those red venetion blinds in their kitchen they have been a fixture since Des and Steph first moved into that house.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the new interior to the corner shop. It all looked a bit odd, with the door apparently having moved.

Looked to be bigger as well, but that might be down to it being empty. Maybe the interior to the shop is about to become as unrealistic as the Rovers when it comes to proportion.

They seem to have changed the side that they're filming from - the number 13 side instead of the Viaduct Street side.

It'll be strange seeing the shop that way around, I don't think it ever has been before. The shelves didn't appear to be real shop fixtures - more like something Charlie has bodged up with some MDF. It could look very unrealistic.

As for the Rovers, I'm still campaigning for a lick of paint, it's 19 years now!

And Sally could at least get a scrubbing brush to the smoke damage on her paintwork... but then she's too busy with Ian I suppose!!

On an entirely different matter, I was sorting through old videos the other day, and found Hilda's return to the Street as part of the ITV Telethon 1990. She was wondering whether or not to marry Dr Louther - who thinks she did go through with it and is now his widow in a giant house in Cheshire with a huge "muriel" on the wall and wonky flying ducks? Well I like to think she is!!
