The Guardian, Saturday 3 March 2012

[…I'm properly back at work now and, with a big storyline coming up in the next few months, I'm spending a fair amount of time on the Corrie cobbles or, as Georgia calls it, "Daddy's Manchester"…It's hard being away from Cam. I miss him, of course, and I worry about him getting enough time for his own working life. Because he's a freelancer, it's easy for his work to get sidelined and that's really not fair…]
