Corrie affair storyline has changed: Halsall

'Coronation Street' star Alan Halsall has said that the affair storyline involving his character's wife and his business partner has been changed.

Halsall's on-screen wife, Molly Dobbs played by Vicky Binns, has been involved in a secret affair with his business partner, Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) over the past few months.

Speaking to the Press Association Halsall said he did know how the storyline would end but that the writers have now changed their plans so he is in the dark as to what happens.

He said "I did know what was happening, but apparently there's been a change in the storyline. They like to keep you on your toes and the public on their toes. So at the moment I don't actually know how it finishes. I know where we go to up to January. But after that, who knows?"

Halsall continued: "We've just shot Christmas Day and New Year. There are things that might happen at Christmas and might not - lots of ifs, buts and maybes.

"It should be a nice Christmas. Then after Christmas the situation gets a lot worse for Tyrone. I can't say too much, but it's going to be very sad for him."

It has already been confirmed that next month the storyline becomes even more complicated for the cheating pair when it is revealed that Kevin's wife, Sally (Sally Whittaker) is diagnosed with breast cancer. They have also been reports that Molly's character discovered she is pregnant is the coming months.
