Corrie’s Carla Connor in For a “Real Shocker”

Coronation Street bosses have revealed that Carla Connor has a big storyline coming up and it’s going to be a “real shocker.” The character, played by Alison King, has been struggling with a number of things (including her gambling addiction) over the last few weeks but the drama isn’t going to end there.

Producer Stuart Blackburn told Digital Spy: “One of those characters will deliver a bit of news to Carla that will change her sense of self and perception forever. It’s going to be a real shocker.” Aidan and Carla in the show (image: ITV). He added: “We’ve also got a lot more twists and turns for Tracy and Carla. They’ve been out on location filming some of the strongest two-hander scenes we’ve had this year.” Oooh, sounds juicy!
