Coronation Street actress Sally Whittaker has admitted that she finds cast changes in the ITV soap difficult to cope with.
Sally has been on the soap for 23 years and seen many people come and go, she told MSN:
“It is really hard because you start to get a relationship with people and some people you get really close to.”
She continued: “And obviously a lot people who’ve worked on Corrie live in London and then they’re off doing things and you just don’t get to see them. I’ve got a few people that I keep in touch with, but it is really hard because everyone’s so busy.”

Caulfield said that he often draws on sad experiences in his own life to help him play out the part.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Caulfield explained: “This show makes me [cry] bi-weekly. Mark is being put through the mangle. I get genuinely sad sometimes.
On Monday, Natasha tells Mark that they need to watch Cain as she reckons he won’t back down easily. Her prediction comes true in the village when Maisie tells Cain that his flirting won’t go “unrewarded”.
Back at Home Farm, Natasha’s interrupted from her preparations by a knock at the door – it’s Faye.

Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh has spoken out on the possibility of a live episode to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show nex year.
“It does terrify me. Sometime you fluff your lines, and sometimes you get a complete blank: You think: ‘I know I say something now, but I can’t actually think what it is I say’,” Kym told MSN.
Last night’s episode of EastEnders turned in one of the best performances from a child actor that I’ve seen in a long time; Jamie Borthwick who plays Jay played such a convincing and moving part last night when he found out about Billy’s betrayal, I actually cried as he wept on Dawn’s shoulder. I suspect he may be in for an award for that performance, just as he won Best Dramatic Young Actor/Actress at the British Soap Awards in 2008… Read more & comment »
