I wish Karen (Suranne Jones) would come back - she was one of my favourite characters and would really stir up trouble

I love Carla in the soap though, especially her dress sense, she always looks wicked. Shame she's got a voice like a plumber on a period

Michelle (Kym Marsh) is another one who always looks good aswell. Cowbag

Tracy Barlow will become the richest killer behind bars when she inherits a fortune this summer.

And murderer Tracy isn’t the only one to be surprised that gran Blanche Hunt, who died in Spain, left all her money to the jailbird.

It will come as an even bigger shock to her mum Deidre (Anne Kirkbride, 55) because she is left only some tatty necklaces and earrings by the battleaxe.

News that Tracy (Kate Ford, 32) is now worth a small fortune quickly angers her relatives. Brother Peter (Chris Gascoyne, 42) storms: “Why Tracy, for God’s sake? What was Blanche thinking?”

Ken (Bill Roache, 77) says: “Maybe she thought Tracy needed the money.”

But that doesn’t wash with Peter, who hits back: “What, for soap and tobacco? Cos that’s all she’ll be able to spend it on for the next 10 years.”

When Deirdre breaks out laughing, Peter asks what she’s so amused about and she explains:

“I’m laughing at you lot arguing. Don’t you get it? That’s just what me mum would have wanted.”

And Blanche, who was played by the late Maggie Jones, takes one last swipe at Ken when she leaves him her dog.

Blanche writes: “You’d better feed and walk her regularly. And don’t take her near canals, theatres
or any other places where loose women may be hanging about.”

Ken responds: “Even in death she mocks me.”

Coronation Street bad boy Gary Windass is to flee his Army barracks in a forthcoming storyline.

The squaddie, played by 23-year-old Mikey North, goes AWOL after seeing another soldier who has lost both legs and an arm while serving in Afghanistan.

Gary decides immediately that he cannot cope with the harsh realities of battle and returns home to Weatherfield before he is due to be flown out to the troubled country.

In subsequent scenes, the Windasses are shocked by Gary's return and slowly come to the realisation that something is amiss. However, by the time they do, Gary goes on the run again.

It is thought that Coronation Street producers consulted Ministry of Defence officials while devising the topical storyline.

A Weatherfield source told the News of the World: "A lot of planning went into this plot as we like to feel we never shirk sensitive issues. We are conscious that barely a week goes by without some terrible news breaking that a soldier has lost his life or has been horrifically injured."

Gary's new plotline is expected to begin next month and continue until May.

Coronation Street couple Roy and Hayley Cropper are to tie the knot later this year, it has been revealed.

The Weatherfield favourites, played by David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh, will finally make their partnership official in one of the soap's 50th anniversary storylines, according to reports today.

Roy and Hayley previously had their relationship blessed in 1999, but were not able to marry officially due to legal restrictions. Hayley was born as a man named Harold and could not wed in her new gender after falling in love with Roy.

However, the law was changed in 2004 and the Croppers are now expected to take advantage of the opportunity in December.

It is thought that the pair's wedding plans will initially cause friction as Roy only wants a low-budget ceremony at a registry office, while Hayley wants to splash out for the occasion.

A source told The Sun: "Thankfully, Roy relents after Hayley puts the pressure on and it's a day for all the street's residents to celebrate."

Reports suggest that Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) will also marry as part of Coronation Street's 50th anniversary celebrations.
