Dear blog followers,

Don't forget to keep an eye out for Charlie Condou later this year when he is scheduled to appear on the UK game show Family Fortunes (aka Family Feud in USA and Oz). It's sure to be a fun episode. Charlie was initially worried when he agreed to do the show and said he may look into hiring a family from an extra's agency - Tom.

GETTING IT ON WITH LOOSE WOMEN

Here is a recap of Charlie's appearance on yesterday's episode of popular UK TV show Loose Women. He talked mainly about how things were going to pan out with the Marcus and Maria storyline that will be airing on Coronation Street soon.

Charlie Condou predicted that Marcus Dent and Maria Connor will always have issues in their relationship. Marcus embarked on a surprise romance with Maria last year, despite having always identified himself as a gay man. After some quieter times on the cobbles, the couple experience more problems this week as Marcus faces the difficult task of telling his gay friends that he's now dating a woman.

Charlie spoke about his character's ongoing storyline receiving some criticism from the gay community. Condou explained: "I think it's because Marcus is probably quite a positive role model, if you like. He's not a stereotype, he's not a cliché, he's not camp and a lot of the things that people might think are stereotypes. "I suppose some people have said that it's really easy to make the 'normal' gay man straight, but I don't think that's what they're doing. Far from it. "Some people's sexuality is a little bit more complicated than that, and his is definitely complicated. It's soap, it's not going to be easy."

He continued: "The public seem to like Marcus and Maria together, but it's always going to be an issue. It's soap anyway and things are always going to be complicated. This is a really tricky one for both of them. It's probably harder for Maria in a lot of ways. "[This week] it's almost like he's having to come out again, or go back into the closet! He's done it all and now he's doing it again." Condou also welcomed the recent news that Beverley Callard will be back on Coronation Street as Liz McDonald from October. He said: "I think it's great. Liz McDonald is one of those iconic Corrie characters. There'll be a huge storyline for her coming up, I'm sure."
