CHARLIE CONDOU’S FIRST CORRIE BLOG POST
Published: 15/09/11
Behind closed doors
This is my first blog for the Corrie site, be patient while I get my bearings. Being part of the longest-running soap on TV is surreal, funny, fascinating, sometimes exhausting but never, ever dull, so hopefully I can give you a glimpse of the view from my little corner of the Street.
Everyone at Corrie shares dressing rooms. There are about 65 regular members of the cast and around 40 dressing rooms. (The old-timers don't share, Barbara Knox for example quite rightly gets her own. Ive never seen inside but rumours of jacuzzis and flamingos are rife!) When I was here a few years back, I roomed with Gray O Brien AKA Tony Gordon, one of Corrie's more memorable psychos. In reality, Gray was a very tidy, considerate room-mate who liked to keep things neat and had a penchant for baking (his lemon drizzle cakes were as legendary amongst the cast as Betty's hotpot). My current roomy, Chris Fountain (pictured), couldn't be more different. To put it bluntly, he's a messy bugger. I squeeze through the door of our already poky room to be faced by a mass of clothes, scripts, hair products and a ridiculous amount of fanmail - as Corrie's resident hunk it’s fair to say Mr F gets more letters than most.
Chris and I hit it off from the moment we met and, of course, the mickey-taking started straight away. To welcome him to our dressing room I left him one of my autographed cast photos with the words, “To Chris, thanks for being my biggest fan". He hit back by pining a semi-naked photo of himself on my side of the wall, leading me to nickname him "Brokeback Fountain". He now has a picture of me dressed as Amy Winehouse to gaze up at, lucky boy! I’m constantly walking in on Chris asleep in the armchair. Seriously, I’ve never met a man who sleeps as much as him, so I’ve started taking photos and posting them on Twitter. Either that, or he's watching films on his laptop curled up with his ridiculously beautiful girlfriend (sorry mate, but you're punching well above your weight).
When we’re not working or winding each other up, we occasionally hang out - we go to lunch at Nandos, head off for a pint, or I escort him to get the dead skin eaten off his feet by hungry fish… just the usual stuff.
We had the makings of a beautiful friendship; a 'bromance' if you will. Or so I thought.
Chris has moved onto pastures new. He's left our dressing room to move in with Jack Shepherd. Bad boy David Platt has tempted him with a TV, Playstation and most importantly, a bed. No more slumming it trying to nap on a broken IKEA armchair for him. Oh no, Chris now has the luxury of goose down and Egyptian cotton.
And I’m left alone. I have a new room-mate coming soon, Fireman Paul played by new boy Tony Hirst. It remains to be seen how we get on, whether or not there'll be socks in the sink or music blaring out from his computer. Personally, I’m crossing my fingers for another lemon-drizzle-baking neat-freak.
So farewell Chris, you fair-weather friend. And, if you don’t come and get them soon, those underpants you left on the floor are going on eBay.
