CHARLIE CONDOU - No.981

MARIA'S GRIM DISCOVERY:

NO MUSCLE TONE!

DailyMailCeleb: Maria finds Marcus in bed with Todd in new Corrie scenes http://dailym.ai/1b9swWv  #corrie

SPOILER ALERT! 
Topless Marcus Dent runs after Maria Connor after she catches him in bed with Todd Grimshaw in new Corrie scenes

Looks like Maria Connor won't get to Christen her new abode, as boyfriend Marcus Dent already has, with Todd Grimshaw. Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria, was spotted running out a house on the Coronation Street set, with onscreen boyfriend Charlie Condou chasing after her, without his top on. But he's too late, as Maria jumps into the waiting car with Audrey Roberts (sue Nichols) in the driver's seat, and they speed off, leaving Marcus to wallow in his cheating shame. Marcus was initially introduced to the show as a gay sonographer who began a relationship with Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), but in his first stint on the show, it ends badly and he moves to London. Upon his return in 2011, the two gave their relationship another go. But after his split from Sean in 2012, Marcus was surprised to find himself falling for current partner Maria Connor - despite being openly gay. But now it looks like he's torn between his feelings for Maria and Todd, which has obviously led to an explosive love triangle storyline. Charlie is set to walk away from the cobbles of Coronation Street for the second time. The 40-year-old actor, will be making his final appearances in the award-winning ITV soap next summer after a three-year run. Though he'll be leaving the series, producers have left the door open for his return. 'I've had a fantastic time at Corrie but feel it's time to move on,' Charlie told the Sun newspaper. 'I was only meant to return for three months and ended up staying for three years. 'The producers have been really supportive and are leaving the door open for Marcus, which is great, and my exit will certainly be explosive.' Series Producer Stuart Blackburn added: 'I will be incredibly sad to see Charlie go and we wish well for what I know will be an exciting future.'

Charliecondou: @thegarethmclean @Shmouise ok but make me drink lite beer

Charliecondou: @thegarethmclean @Shmouise do they do diet Lambrini?

Shmouise: @Charliecondou @thegarethmclean just throw it all up later. It's way more professional.

thegarethmclean: @Charliecondou @Shmouise How would I know? Being Scottish, I drink turps and tonic.

GRANDSON UPDATE

SirThomasWynne: Grandson is improving (still in oxygen crib), sadly our daughter is on bed rest with post-eclampsia.

Daughter was allowed to hold him for the first time since he arrived on the 24th Jan.

And today bub has had his cannula taken out so things are looking brighter. Granddaughter (bub's big sister), has been to see him a few times. With every visit our granddaughter serenades him with songs from her personal repertoire. The first song she chose was Happy Birthday.
