Keith Duffy: 'Ciaran will charm everyone'

Coronation Street star Keith Duffy has joked that no Weatherfield female will be safe after his womanising character Ciaran McCarthy returns to the cobbles.

Former barman and chef Ciaran makes his screen comeback next week and wastes no time before returning to his lady-chasing ways.

Speaking to DS about Ciaran's antics, Duffy commented: "[He's] pretty much straight in for Michelle to be fair! It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it! Anything that walks by that's at all attractive or in a skirt he chats up to be honest.

"He chats up Carla, he chats up Michelle, he's very charming to Liz McDonald who sees it as a come-on - that's a funny scene in itself - Kelly from the factory... no-one is safe!"

On Ciaran's ex-fiancée Sunita Alahan, played by Shobna Gulati, he continued: "Yeah - he's been back chatting her up as well. He's under the illusion that herself and Dev are together and obviously he and Dev left on bad terms, so she's on her own in the pub and he goes over and starts chatting her up and charming her again. Sunita was quite up for it because they nearly got married - I think I left her at the altar if I remember rightly."

Duffy also confirmed that Ciaran will be happy to charm any of the Street's other women as long as "they're attractive and they like a drink".
