'Coronation Street' Kym Marsh hints at Michelle, Ciaran tension

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has hinted at the problems ahead in Michelle Connor and Ciaran McCarthy's relationship, admitting that the pair may want different things.

Michelle and Ciaran (Keith Duffy) return to Weatherfield next week to announce the news of their engagement, but their plans for a brief visit change when they see that Carla Connor is in crisis.

As reported at the weekend, Michelle agrees to take charge of the Underworld factory while Carla (Alison King) goes off on holiday to clear her head. This means that Michelle has to delay plans to marry Ciaran in two weeks' time.

Marsh told Inside Soap of the storyline: "When they arrive back, they're absolutely rock solid. They're happy and perfect for each other - living and working together on the cruise ship has clearly cemented their relationship.

"Ciaran knows how much it means to Michelle to be able to help Carla. He's happy to delay the wedding for a little while."



However, Marsh also predicted that there could be trouble when it becomes clear that Michelle's parents are opposing her plans to marry abroad. Fans are already aware that Duffy is only back as Ciaran for a short stint.

"Michelle finds out that her parents aren't happy at all - they don't want her going off and getting married on a beach," Marsh explained. "They don't understand why she won't have the big wedding in Weatherfield - and with that and the factory, Michelle decides they should have the ceremony at home instead.

"But this is a soap - and when do soap weddings ever go to plan? Michelle has started to want to settle down in the street again, whereas Ciaran clearly still has wanderlust. I fear this could be a problem."

Coronation Street airs Michelle and Ciaran's return scenes on Thursday, November 3 at 8.30pm on ITV1.
