'Coronation Street's Carla Connor is about to realise that she has a new admirer very close to home.
According to the show's official website, actor Rob James-Collier has revealed that his character Liam is about to fall in love with his sister-in-law Carla, played by Alison King.
The actor told All About Soap: "Liam was bitter working with Carla at first, but the law is the law and he had to deal with Carla getting Paul’s share of the factory."
"They've had their moments, but the dust has finally settled – until Tony came on the scene," he said, referring to new character Tony Gordon, a catalogue rep who takes a shine to Carla.
"Tony has stirred feelings in Liam he didn't expect. Liam had no idea he felt something for Carla," the actor said.
"At first he genuinely thinks it’s too soon for Carla to be dating after Paul, but Liam's cheating himself. He's in denial.'"
"Tragedy brings up emotions you never knew you had so Paul dying may have had an effect. Sometimes you need a threat, such as another guy, to make you realise you actually love someone."
James-Collier also revealed that Liam kisses Carla after the pair have a very heated argument.
