SHE’S back on the cobbles and that means trouble. Yes, Cilla Battersby-Brown is once more causing mayhem in Coronation Street - thank goodness!
Our iconic Northern soap has started to lose its way recently and desperately needs a shot in the arm. The return of talented actress Wendi Peters as the sharp-tongued and conniving Cilla is likely to result in some entertaining storylines and typically over-the-top behaviour.
Corrie has been mired in doom and gloom for months now. Hung up on the murder storyline surrounding Tina and the depressing scenario around Peter’s drinking.
Why they’ve not lightened the atmosphere with a nice Norris and Mary plot is beyond me. They’ve got all these skilful actors and actresses and yet the action seems to have ground to a halt.
There’s only Gail’s budding romance with Michael to cheer things up, and that’s taking forever. So I can’t wait to see what havoc the terrible Cilla is going to wreak. And it does need to be drastic.
