Kelly lined up for Rovers Return role

Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly says plans are being made to put her in one of the soap's most prized jobs - a Rovers Return barmaid.

"It's been two years since I joined the Street and 18 months since I started working in the café and became a cast regular," Kelly told The Daily Record.

"Now the Rovers keeps getting mentioned. They'd like her to work behind the bar - but I reckon Becky would sup all the profits," she added.

Kelly, whose character Becky Granger was once homeless, has mixed feelings about the move. She feels it may be disloyal to Roy Cropper, currently her boss at Roy's Rolls.

"I like Becky's connection with Roy. He's really put his trust in her," she said.

Becky will take charge of the café next week when Roy heads of to visit his wife Hayley.

"Becky has done well," Kelly adds.

"She came into the show homeless and when Roy comes back she'll move into Roy's permanently as a lodger."
