Katy Cavanagh: Day Two

After a busy one yesterday, Katy Cavanagh returns to blog about her next hectic day filming on the cobbles of Britain's most famous street.

Today, Katy goes shopping, films on a new set and has a good chat with her screen mum Sharon Duce. Katy tells us more in Day Two....

6.45am: Arrived at work bleary-eyed and went straight into make-up. Can't usually string a sentence together until 8am but managed to swap toddler stories with Caroline, my make-up artist, who also made me a piece of toast because I forgot to eat something when I left the house. She's lovely! Looked over my scenes.

8.15am: First scene of the day in the living room of the Rovers with Eileen and Jason. Never worked on this set before, so it felt quite strange. I'm so used to the Battersbys. It's good strange, though, because Julie certainly wasn't feeling comfortable and at home there! Talked through the scene with the director and rehearsed a few times. Complex situation and because we shoot the scenes out of order, we haven't shot the scenes before this one yet, so it's hard to pitch the emotion. Seemed to go well though. I worry too much!

9.45am: Manages to nip into the Rovers set while it wasn't being used. Unless Julie becomes a barmaid, I'll never get to pull a pint behind the Rovers bar! Thought I'd give it a sneaky try. Pint-pulling isn't as easy as it looks! Will drop in again later in the week when I have a little more time! I will pull a perfect pint...

10am: Managed to nip out to the Trafford Centre and choose an outfit for Julie to wear to Colin's 70th party. Julie's definitely dressing to impress. Love shopping for Julie - it's much more fun than shopping for me. Get to go to all the shops I would normally avoid and try on lots of clothes I would never wear. Dresses in particular. Julie's very particular about what she wears and she accessorises like mad. Got back to work and picked up my scripts for the next block. Will read them later when I can concentrate.

1pm: Quick salad in the canteen before I'm back on set. Outside on the cobbles. Forgot to put my thermals on but thankfully only had a few lines, most of the scene was Norris and Rita. Not too long before I can get warm in the green room, have a cup of tea and catch up with some of the cast I haven't seen for a while.

3pm: Met up with Sharon to talk through our scenes later in the week. Had really good chat. Starting to feel like she's my mum in real life! She's always checking I'm OK and making sure I've eaten enough food! Absolutely loving working with her.

5pm: Headed home to learn lines for tomorrow. Big day. Shooting the climax of the block in the Rovers where a revelation causes devastation for so many people. Julie's life is turned upside down. Excited and nervous about it all. Early night for me tonight!

Don't forget to check back tomorrow evening for the third instalment!
