Coronation Street star Sam Aston has spoken about the upcoming dramatic scenes he filmed for the soap, saying there is a case of 'wrong place, wrong time' for his character Chesney.
On tonight's episode Chesney and Sinead (Katie McGlynn) agree to give their relationship another shot, but when Chesney visits Daniel (Rob Mallard) at the Bistro to clear the air, he finds himself in the crossfire of a drug-related bust-up between Rich (Fraser Ayres) and Robert (Tristan Gemmill), and he is seriously injured.
"Chesney wants to have a word with Daniel, nothing confrontational, just to say no hard feelings. He wants to clear the air now him and Sinead are back together," Aston said ahead of the episode.
"As Chesney walks through the door of the Bistro with his good intentions, it’s just wrong place, wrong time and Chesney is caught in the crossfire. It is very clever how it is done. Chesney collapses and Daniel talks him round."
Speaking about tackling more dramatic scenes than he would be used to, Aston, who made his first appearance on the cobbles in 2003, said he enjoyed the challenge.
"It was great fun, I’ve been here for quite a long time and I have never done anything like that. It was a challenge because Chesney is making kebabs most of the time but it was really cool to be involved in something different," he said.
