Is it just me or does Carla Connor look like a big assset to the show.I brought All About Soap today and it had a scene with Sally and Carla having a fight and it had a piece of writing saying that Carla starts manupulaiting Paul and the factory workers.

I see her as a short term character. She looks good, but not the sort to hang around.

She won't stay for all that long.

I hope that they keep her as the 'cut above' character and don't dilute her.

Paul Connor's wife.

Not sure what she does, although she turns up next Friday (1st).

She does look like a great character, a bit of a bitch, which i love! I hope her bitchiness isn't toned down though as her reign in the show continues, she doesn't seem the type to hang around, but i like the sound of her character so i hope Corrie producers manage to lure her back. I also heard she had a history with Charlie.

Alison King is a very stunning woman and a good actress. I hope that she remains a bitch and doesn't get watered down like Frankie did when she first arrived.

Wasn't it longer ago than that? And wasn't it Charlie who slept with her? And didn't the character have a different name?

I could be wrong though

It's the same actress but different character. I think she was in Corrie in late 2004 or early 2005.

She sounds great and I heard she has a contract for 6 months.

This is one character I'm looking forward to meeting. Hope she doesn't disappoint.

I think she definitely sounds promising, especially with Tracey on the outs in a few months and Frankie leaving soon as well.

I am very excited by her now.

Initially I thought the character seemed a bit samey, that we'd seen it before with Frankie Baldwin, but now I have realised that she is Coronation Street's archetypes - the snob who in reality is from the same background as everyone else.

We've seen it with Annie Walker, Audrey Roberts and most recently Sally Webster. If Carla Connor is portrayed in the right way, then her supposed bitchiness should smoulder! There is nothing better than a character who lauds it over the other residents, when really they are from the same stock as those they are looking down on.

CAN'T WAIT!

As long as she isn't a one-dimensional bitch character then she'll be good. Corrie are usually good with their bitches...they tend to have a heart underneath it all (Cilla, Tracy, Leanne) so I'm hopeful.

That was Mrs Fanshaw a different character altogether!
