Corrie star predicts Tommy, Tina romance

Chris Fountain has predicted that Tommy Duckworth and Tina McIntyre will eventually become an item in Coronation Street.

Tommy quickly set his sights on Tina (Michelle Keegan) when he returned to Weatherfield last week, but the Rovers barmaid resisted his charms in order to stay faithful to boyfriend Graeme Proctor.

However, in an interview with Inside Soap, Fountain described his character as "a bit of a player" and tipped him to win over Tina before too long.

He explained: "While he's not great boyfriend material, I reckon Tommy and Tina will get together."

Graeme feared that Tina had slept with Tommy last week when he spotted her leaving the Duckworths' following an overnight stay. However, she reacted angrily to his suspicions as she had merely watched a film with Tommy, Tyrone and Kirk.

Craig Gazey, who plays Graeme, will depart Coronation Street later this year, leaving Tina without a boyfriend on the street. Michelle Keegan recently insisted that her character should stay single for a while following his exit.
