Coronation Street newcomer Natalie Gumede has confirmed that her character Kirsty Soames will remain at war with Tina McIntyre for some time to come.
Kirsty joined the soap as Tyrone Dobbs's (Alan Halsall) new love interest in September, but she has constantly clashed with his feisty housemate in recent weeks.
Writing on her official blog today, Gumede hinted that the dramas between Kirsty, Tyrone and Tina (Michelle Keegan) are far from over.
"It's been an intense month at Corrie, as the Kirsty/Tyrone/Tina triangle ramps up a gear," she explained. "I have loved every minute at work so far, and I'm excited that the storyline will continue well into next year!"
Gumede continued: "As we're winding down for Christmas, I always become quite reflective at this time of year - I think about what 2011 has meant for me, and what possibilities 2012 will bring.
"Coronation Street has changed my life beyond measure in the last six months - it has been a huge blessing but has also brought fresh challenges, which require embracing and adjusting to.
"I will be spending much more time away from London - my home of the last 10 years - in 2012, so I look forward to getting to know Manchester a little better."
Recent reports have suggested that Kirsty will tell Tyrone she is pregnant in the New Year.
