Duffy more confident about Corrie role
Monday 8 February 2010
Duffy originally played the role of Ciaran McCarthy from 2002 until 2005. Recently he has returned to the role and believes he is far more experienced than he was when he first joined the show.
Speaking to the Daily Record he said "Seven years ago I was coming out of a job I had been in since I was a kid. I was travelling round the world with four other guys and had a great sense of security.
"Going out on my own and doing a job like 'Coronation Street' which is in so many people's living rooms four nights a week - especially my own family's - was daunting. This time round, there's no comparison. There's a massive difference in experience, ability and understanding of the trade. I thought I could give the job a better crack this time."
He said he sought advice from his bandmates before returning saying "The decision to come into Coronation Street wasn't a decision I took on my own. I sat down with the lads and told them what I wanted to do and they gave me their blessing. We've lost a member of the band and I don't think we could go any further if the four of us weren't all in agreement.
"I love being in the band but I love being on Corrie. I need this. This is the individual, independent part of my life and we all need that."
