Any ideas as to what celebrity should feature in a cameo role for a Coronation Street plot?

I can see Patricia Routledge as Emily Bishop's friend.

I'd put Simon Cowell in it! I don't know who he'd be (Slimey businessman?) but I think he'd ruffle a few feathers!

I can't see him as an actor but your right about causng a stir.

Yeah, I know he probably can't act but maybe he could rip the Platts off!

Why the Platts?

I dunno. What I can gather though, Gail has a thing for mysterious men in suits...

Like Mike Baldwin.

Simon Cowell should have went into the canal instead of Richard Hillman who was my favourite character.

John Cleese or Alan Rickman.
Now that I think about it they should have put Alan against Honor and then they could legitimately claim to be the Voices of Weathefield.

Good choices there!!!

Who did you intend on them playing if they were in Corrie?

i think that is a BRILLIANT idea - she could be the snooty sister of Blanche or one of Rita or Emily's friends!

Indeed she could.

Eileen Derbyshire should have been on Keeping Up Appearences alongside Patricia and what a team they'd be!!!
Agent Krycek

James Marsters (Spike from Buffy/Angel) - just to stand around and look good in black leather and tight jeans

I'd also like to see Kerry Norton (Maxi in Bad Girls) in something like Corrie - she did the hard-nut act brilliantly! Jack Ellis (Jim Fenner) would also be a great addition!

I agree about Jack Ellis (Jim Fenner) and I think he should play a taxi driver at Streetcars or an eccentric resident at Weatherfield.

Thats a great idea! Id love to see her in Corrie

Thanks Safra.

Who else would you like to see in Corrie?

I don't think any Too much can over do it.

im sure there will be more celeb cameos - Honor Blackman as Rula was brilliant, but there cannot be an embarassing repeat of the awful Norman Wisdom fiasco! That was dire !

I think it's great when celebs are on Corrie.

Victoria Wood - it needs to happen and it must happen - i see her playing Eileen Grimshaws sister -and we already know they have good chemistry on screen together (Dinnerladies for those of you who never watched it).

Again Julie Walters would be a perfect choice.

I think Victoria Wood be a little too barmy for Corrie, but she is an excellant comediane.

I agree.

It is great when there is comedy on the street.

He's not a celebrity but I'd love Mr Tarantino to guest direct an episode of it! In my dreams, I know, but I'd like to see the way he'd get rid of the dead wood in the show!!!

It'd have to be a late night special though!

Deidre's long lost sister Pauline Campbell Jones from Royston Vasey (League of Gentlemen), her and Mickey would cause some bril friction in the Rovers and Corrie's ratings would shoot up!
