Sue Johnston
Stella Price outside the Rovers in Coronation Street
Collinson commented: "I'm very excited to be able to tell you that Sue Johnston is going to be joining the Coronation Street cast. She starts recording with us in a couple of weeks, and she'll be on screen in June.
"She's going to play Gloria Price - Stella's mum, and Leanne and Eva's grandma. A very vivid, brilliant character, I think - already from what I'm reading in the scripts.
"She's feisty, brilliant - she comes over from Spain, where she's been running a bar, so she's perma-tanned! She's a terrifying, domineering, overbearing mother, so there's going to be sparks flying."
Gloria's debut episode will see her arrive in Weatherfield unannounced, telling Stella (Michelle Collins) that she only plans to stay for a short time. However, she is still around months later - leaving Stella suspicious over what her mum has been up to abroad and why she isn't returning.
A Coronation Street statement teased: "It soon becomes clear that Gloria has been economical with the truth and the sparks fly between her and her daughter.
"And the ladies of Weatherfield soon discover that they will have to keep an eye on their men, as she sets her sights on Dennis and Lewis.
"Larger than life, ballsy and outspoken, Gloria will be in the great tradition of strong Weatherfield women who don't take no for an answer and live life to the full."
Johnston's extensive CV includes her roles as Brookside's Sheila Grant and The Royle Family's Barbara Royle.

I've got a horrible feeling that things are going to get much worse for Tyrone.

Oh I'm sure they will as it's been on the cards for some time on a slow release. I really hope she doesn't lose the baby for whatever reason as that would destroy Tyrone. Maybe at some point after the birth she'll really lose the plot and will be sectioned and the baby will be with Tyrone.

 

On another note I've felt for a while that Tyrone and Fizz would be a good match...there was a storyline at one point where I thought this might happen but that story has disappeared now lol.

I loved Aaron's final scene with Paddy.

When he called him 'Dad' ... *sobs again*

I was blubbing like a wee baby 

As for Corrie, yes i would like to see Tyrone and Fizz together too, better than that fruit and nut case he has now! Looking forward to Sue Johnston too

Me too Aimee ..  I think her jumping on Stella's bloke is something I find hard to believe she would do.  I dislike the storyline too.  Funny how we all hate it lol, and everyone I have spoken to isn't fond of it either.  It;s just so sudden and is out of character for her.  Didn't notice Shirl's trousers: I will have to watch it on catch up!

I agree! she's obviously fed up with Dev but it doesn't make sense she'd be interested in a gambler and liar.

That's how I feel too.  I know it's a soap and anything can happen, but I just can't see Sunita doing that.
