The new beefcake on Coronation Street, Jake - played by Kenny Doughty - has apparently been signed up to make another appearance on the Street’s New Year’s Eve episode.
Jake has recently been seen wooing and bedding Michelle, but he’s soon to be off our screens as he takes up a job offer in Scotland. However, Kenny announced his brief return on Twitter…
"Pleased to say I'm going back for one more episode on Corrie! Yipee! Will keep nudging them for longer though as I love it on the street!"
A Coronation Street spokeswoman told the PA that Kenny “would be seen again” in Weatherfield at other times, but she added, "There could be a future appearance but nothing's been confirmed yet."
In other cast news, Chris Gascoyne who plays Peter Barlow has apparently been advising his on-screen son Alex Bain to “stay grounded” despite what’s turned out to be his great success on the Street.
Alex of course plays Peter’s son Simon and he recently picked up the award for Best Young Actor at the Inside Soap Awards. Chris told Inside Soap, "He [Alex] couldn't wait to come in and tell me about it the day after it happened...
"He said 'I've got something to tell you, I've won an award.' To wind him up, I said 'You didn't! It must have been for someone else.'
“He was so made up about it, though, so I was quick to tell him not to go getting a big head!"
And Alex’s storylines are getting bigger and better since he’s proved himself such a great little actor. In the coming episodes, we’ll get to see how his relationship with his granddad George develops, as well as how George and Ken compete for their grandson’s attention.
Chris added, "Alex really loves having a new grandad on set. After each scene, he gives Anthony Valentine and Bill Roache a kiss and a cuddle and tells them well done.
"Alex really is like a little old man himself sometimes!"
Bless him!
