'Coronation Street' Michelle should punch Frank, says Kym Marsh

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has admitted that she wants her character Michelle Connor to punch Weatherfield villain Frank Foster.

Michelle is currently going head-to-head with Frank as she has agreed to look after Underworld while Carla (Alison King) spends some time away from the cobbles to clear her head.

Carla was raped by ex-fiancé Frank - played by Andrew Lancel - earlier this year, and the evil businessman has since schemed to make sure that she loses the factory.

Marsh told PA of the storyline: "Michelle's obviously horrified to see what's happened. She's definitely not going to be scared of Frank, that's for sure, because I think he's met his match with Michelle so he'd better watch out.

"I'd love to see her punch him in the face! No offence Andrew Lancel."



Marsh went on to praise Lancel for his portrayal of Frank over the past few months.

"He is brilliant. It's got to be difficult to play a rapist," she commented. "The guy is such a lovely guy. Obviously nothing like Frank and what I love about Andrew is he's such a subtle actor.

"He kind of underplays everything and it just is brilliant to watch. I've had nothing but admiration for that storyline really."

Frank has recently been tipped to start a relationship with Sally Webster as his story takes new twists in the weeks ahead.
