'Coronation Street' Alison King: 'Life stays tough for Carla'

Coronation Street star Alison King has revealed that evil Frank Foster will try to "bully" Carla Connor out of Underworld in the coming days.

Carla was recently left distraught when Frank was found not guilty of raping her, but there is more drama on the way in upcoming episodes as he tries to take over her business.

Tonight's episodes see Frank (Andrew Lancel) return to the factory and announce that he is moving back in now that he is a free man.



King told itv.com of the storyline: "Carla's feeling devastated straight after the trial, but she really just wants to move on, get back into the factory and get back into the swing of things. She's got Peter to lean on and he's helping her do that, but there's complications.

"Frank's still about and making trouble. She arrives back to her factory raring to go, to discover that he's moved in there. He offers to buy her out because he thinks this is going to be a really good solution. He tries to bully her out."

The actress added that, to make matters worse, Peter (Chris Gascoyne) will struggle to get his young son Simon (Alex Bain) to accept his new romance with Carla.

King said: "Carla and Peter's relationship is floating, blooming, it's beautiful. They've got banter, they've got everything. But Carla, Peter and Simon - that's not so easy. Simon hates her."

Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
