VIDEO PREVIEW FOR TONIGHT'S CORRIE
Marcus, Maria and Sean are at a wedding. Sean and several mates surround Marcus and tease him about another bloke there that has always fancied him. They have assumed Maria is just his "wingman" otherwise people will think he's trying to look straight. Maria overhears that last bit and is clearly upset that it looks as if he's going to let them think they're friends but he reluctantly breaks the news that they are a couple.
Watch a preview of these scenes in the video below:

THE GIRL IN THE RED DRESS
Did you know in 2005 Charlie Condou featured in a 12 minute short film called The Girl In The Red Dress (and no Charlie wasn't the one in the red dress)? The short was directed by Aletta Collins.

Cast:
Charlie Condou: Rory
Shirley Henderson: Gaynor
Jenny Ã‰clair  The girl in a red dress.

Director of Photography Gavin Struthers knows that short films are a difficult genre to crack, but when he read Jill Parker’s script of The Girl in the Red Dress, he immediately recognised its high calibre. “It was incredibly well written and the dialogue had a natural feel and pace,” he recalls. Unusually for a 12 minute short film, it was shot on 35mm and stars Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets and Bridget Jones’ Diary) as Gaynor, Charlie Condou (Charlotte Gray and Judge Dredd) as Rory and Jenny Eclair (Perrier Award winning comedienne) as the girl in the red dress. Notably, it is Writer Jill Parker’s first film script, Choreographer & Dance Film Director Aletta Collins’ first fiction film as Director, and Production Manager Julia Valentine’s first film as Producer.

The Girl in the Red Dress opens as a party and a relationship are drawing to an end. The two lead characters, Gaynor and Rory, leave the party and on their early morning walk home, Gaynor resists Rory’s attempts to tell her he’s leaving her by reflecting back on a conversation she had with one of the party guests – the girl in the red dress. In her drunken state, the girl had misread the situation and encouraged Gaynor to think of herself and Rory as the perfect couple. Gaynor’s efforts to save their once great relationship fail and, when they reach her flat, Rory leaves her. As she ascends the stairwell to her flat, she remembers other, very different nights and imagines what might have been.

The film was shot over one day and four nights and 90% of the shots were on Steadicam, so logistically the whole film was a pretty steep learning curve,” admits Struthers. “In the party and flashback sequences, the red dress was really important to Aletta – she wanted it to shout out from the screen. As the couple leave the party and move into the square outside, there’s a transitional shot of a reflection in the window of the girl in the red dress waving, as Gaynor and Rory walk down the street. It's a haunting scene.
