As we reported recently, in next week’s visits to Coronation Street, surrogate mum Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) is set to go into labour weeks too early…

She is of course carrying a baby for Gary Windass (Mikey North) and his girlfriend, Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) and in the episode that airs on Wednesday, May 29, Gary’s spent the night at the hospital, but Izzy still won’t let him see his son.

In the special care unit later, Tina urges Izzy to speak to Gary, saying that she carried this baby for a couple who love each other, not a couple on the brink of splitting up… Read more & comment »

Next week’s episodes of Coronation Street are set to be super dramatic as pregnant Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) goes into labour during a row in the newly reopened Rovers, sending Gary Windass and Izzy Armstrong into a panic as they can only sit and wait for the outcome while wondering if their baby boy is going to live or die…

The drama begins on Monday, May 27 as the Windass family gather at the Rovers along with the rest of the Street’s residents for the pub’s grand re-opening. However, as things become more strained, it’s clear that Tina’s stressed and on edge, which isn’t helped when Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) prompts a row with his daughter Katy (Georgie May Foote), Ryan Connor (Sol Heras) and Chesney Brown (Sam Aston)… Read more & comment »

Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) is of course currently in turmoil, given that Gary Windass (Mikey North) recently made a pass at her…

Which may not be remarkable or noteworthy ordinarily, but of course, Tina is carrying Gary and Izzy Armstrong’s (Cherylee Houston) baby, so to say things have become awkward would be something of an understatement.

And the situation isn’t being helped by the fact that not only does Tina’s former boyfriend Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) know about Gary’s faux pas, so does Izzy’s sister Katie (Georgia May Foote) who learned about it after her boyfriend Ryan Connor (Sol Heras) overheard Gary and Tina talking about the embarrassing incident.

Fans of Corrie will know that dad to be Gary Windass (Mikey North) is playing with fire right now, given that he’s evidently got feelings for surrogate mum Tina McIntyre, and as we saw last week, he even tried to kiss her!

However, Tina (Michelle Keegan) rebuffed his advances, but it has of course put her in a very awkward position, given that she’s not only expecting Gary and his girlfriend Izzy’s baby, but she also works for Izzy’s dad, Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies). Read more & comment »

Next week’s visits to Coronation Street are as fraught with drama and tension as ever, and as always on a Saturday, we have sneak peek preview clips for you of the storylines airing in the next seven days…

Dad to be Gary Windass (Mikey North) has of course secretly been growing very fond of surrogate mum Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) but so far, his girlfriend Izzy has failed to spot it…

However, in next week’s episodes, when Izzy (Cherylee Houston) finds out that Gary has splashed out £200 – which they can ill afford – on a gift for Tina, the penny drops and she begins to fear that Gary and Tina are more than just friends.

The drama begins after Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) tells Tina that he can’t give her the next installment of the money he promised her when she agreed to be a surrogate for his daughter. Owen has of course been left broke after laying out in advance for the refit of the Rovers, only to learn from Stella Price (Michelle Collins) that the insurance won’t pay out, and she has no money.

It’s been revealed today that surrogate mum Tina McIntyre is set to go into labour – weeks too early – in the newly refurbished Rovers!

Tina, who is of course played by soon-to-be departing actress Michelle Keegan, will begin to experience contractions as she’s working behind the bar of the pub, which is of course set to reopen once it’s been refurbished following the killer blaze that was started by spurned lover Karl Munro (John Michie).

However, it seems that though the baby boy – who is the biological son of Gary Windass (Mikey North) and his girlfriend Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) – arrives early, after a scare about him being underweight, he’s going to be fine and will be named Jake by his doting mum and dad.

She’s now been signed off work for the rest of the week, which means that the show’s scriptwriters have to work around her absence and to draw up a new schedule for the scenes she was due to film. Read more & comment »

However, there’s a cuckoo in their prospective nest in the form of dad-to-be Gary Windass, who seems more concerned about Tina than he does about his own girlfriend Izzy, which is a fact not lost on an irritated Tommy!

The drama begins on Monday, April 22nd when Gary, Tina and Izzy (Cherylee Houston) all attend an antenatal class together, however, it’s not long before Izzy feels very much the third wheel, so she leaves and lets Gary and Tina simply get on with it… Read more & comment »

Fans of Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan will probably know that she caused a minor frenzy on Twitter this week after posting what appeared to be a picture of herself topless in the bath!

However, the image was deleted just six seconds after it was posted online, and later, Michelle answered hundreds of messages about the photo saying it wasn’t her boobs on display and was instead a prank played on her by her best mate.

But the more Michelle protested that the picture wasn’t of her ample bosom, the more people began to assume the lady doth protest. And the whole debacle prompted her Corrie co-star Alan Halsall – who plays Tyrone Dobbs – to post a series of wisecracks along with images of fat men in tubs… Read more & comment »
