CORONATION STREET WELCOMES NIGHTMARE NEIGHBOURS

-
The residents of Weatherfield will soon need to watch their backs as Coronation Street welcomes Mick and Lou Michaelis making life hell for anyone who crosses them.

With the Michaelis family moving into Mawdsley Street at the back of Chesney and Gemma Winter-Brown's house - this will be the very first time Coronation Street have extended the drama across the ginnel.

Arriving on her own on Wednesday 12th February, Lou played by Farrel Hegarty immediately sparks up a friendship with Gemma as they recognise each other from Bessie Street School where Gemma's quads and Lou's two young daughters attend. Why am I excited about this character's arrival? Reminds me of some past characters.

However, when Mick played by Joe Layton appears on Friday 14th February - the audience will be shocked to realise his true identity - the man with the silver van who has been harassing Chesney, who is none the wiser to who Mick really is.

After developing a friendship with the Winter-Browns, it's evident that Mick and Lou are determined to create upheaval starting with a prior connection to Kit Green leading to them exposing his secretive past.

Speaking of her exciting new role as Lou, Farrel Hegarty said: “I’m delighted and so grateful to be joining the cast of Coronation Street. I have genuinely been blown away by how ridiculously warm and nice everyone is. “Lou is definitely an exciting character to play because she’s got good and bad parts to her, she’s a life force and full of beans. She’s a very colourful person who likes to make waves and try to cause chaos. But she also has that strong family loyalty, especially between Mick and Lou, they are thick as thieves and will stick up for each other, even when they probably shouldn’t…”

Joe Layton added: “Coronation Street is such an institute in British television and to get to walk down the cobbles in Mick's shoes is so exciting. To also do it alongside Farrel is awesome - we are having great fun together and connecting really well whilst developing our characters. It also gives the opportunity to get a look behind the curtain of this huge machine and be a small cog within the big picture of Coronation Street and to work alongside people who take such pride in their work. It’s just a really happy place, friendly and welcoming. I’m going to relish every moment of it.”

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday's at 8pm on ITV with episodes available from 7am on ITVX.
