Corrie's Tyrone talks Margi's return
Published Tuesday, Jan 6 2009, 06:00 GMT | By Kris Green | 5 comments
I recently caught up with Coronation Street's Alan Halsall - Tyrone Dobbs in the soap - to chat about his upcoming screen wedding to Molly (Vicky Binns). Click here to read more.
Here, though, are Alan's thoughts on his screen mum Jackie's return to the soap and how he'd like her to make a full-time comeback.
What's it like to have Margi Clarke back again?
"Oh both occasions, it's been mad. Margi's just crazy. She's a real live wire to be around and she always makes the day fun, as does Jackie the character - she comes in and causes trouble. It really is great to have her back. It was many years ago now that I last did some work with her on Corrie and for all she might have changed in her appearance with the pink hair, she's really not changed as a person. She's the fantastic live wire she's always been."
Would you like to see her return full-time?
"I'd like to see Margi return full-time, but whether Tyrone as a character would is a different matter! Every time she's around she just causes him heartache. Jackie would have to do a lot of grovelling for Tyrone to accept his mum back in his life full-time. At the end of the day, though, she's still his mum and there'll always be that great relationship between the pair of them."
Let me know your views on Tyrone and Jackie in the usual place below.

I don't think it would be right to have Margi Clarke back surely Tyrone is not going to be portrayed as that intellectually challenged he would take her back again and again. her part has been overplayed and I actually don't like the part or the person. There is no credibility in that storyline.

I hope that Jackie will soon be sent away with a flea in her ear. Both she and the actress who plays her really get on my nerves.

Jees, I can't stand Margi Clarkes character nor can I stand Margi Clarke. She's a terrible annoying actress that grates on me. Her voice, her face, those false teeth. Just get rid. No need for her mug on Corrie.

Please don't bring back Margi Clark She drives me to distraction!!! She is just too much of a trouble maker. Auntie Pam causes enough trouble but it is always well meant & funny, but Tyrone's mother is beyond belief & no joke. \if she comes back permanently then I will have to switch off Coronation Street.
