Mike Le Vell on Kevin and Molly's fling!

Last week, I managed to catch up with the head of one of my favourite Coronation Street families, the Websters. Yep, Kevin Webster - played by Michael Le Vell - first appeared on the cobbles in October 1983 and with his faithful promiscuous now faithful wife Sally (Sally Whittaker) by his side, they've firmly established themselves as Corrie gold.

Kevin's about to upset the apple cart again, though, as he embarks on another affair. As if the Natalie Horrocks (Denise Welch) saga didn't cause enough problems. That one ended in divorce! You'd have thought he'd have learned by now, wouldn't you...

A number of Corrie fans don't seem happy with the upcoming Molly (Vicky Binns) and Kevin saga - or 'Molvin' from hereon in. I'm just happy that the Websters and Molly are being given some long-overdue screen time. And it's making for some quite interesting viewing, too.

Here, Michael explains what happens in a few weeks' time between Kevin and Molly. As he says, anything that can go wrong for the promiscuous pair, does go wrong...

There's a great scene with Molly and Kevin in a sports car… What was that like to film?
"It was very funny, actually. Because we don't film it all in chronological order, I think it was one of the first scenes where we had to film a kiss. They take one of Kevin's customer's sports cars for a drive and they take it to a secluded spot. But then they're interrupted by the police!"

There's another moment in the back room of Dev's shop, too, isn't there?
"Yeah, they're trying all sorts! They lock the door of the corner shop for some alone time but Dev forgets something and he ends up banging on the door. They just keep getting interrupted."

It's the week of Sally's birthday, but Kevin only has one thing on his mind…
"Kevin's been obsessed with trying to set up a rendezvous with Molly so they can have a bit of alone time. It's not happened by this point. When Molly leaves Sally's party early and Tyrone goes to the pub, she calls Kevin to let him know and asks him to make an excuse to go to the garage to sort the alarm out or something - and they end up consummating their relationship…"

What happens with the hotel mix-up?
"Kev's desperate by this point and books a hotel for Molly and Kevin to stay in, but then the hotel phone up and Sally answers the phone. Anything that could go wrong does go wrong for them. Maybe the clues are there for them… Maybe they should say 'this isn't meant to be'. But they don't - that'd make boring television!"

Then they have sexy time at the Duckworths'!
"Yeah, that's officially the start of their affair. We actually filmed two versions of that scene. We filmed one on the stairs and one on the settee. The one on the stairs could be a little too raunchy for 7.30pm at night! I don't know which one they're going to use yet, though."

Apparently you're a keen poker player - do you get much time to play, what with the gruelling Corrie schedules?
"Yeah, I love it! I don't get the chance to play as much as I'd like. I do play on Tuesday nights in my local pub, we have our local poker school. I've not been able to play any tournaments for Five or anything this year."

Are you surprised that the writers have never written poker into the show for Kevin?
"That could be an idea… They've had a few card scenes in the past… That'd be good to talk a few of the characters into going to a casino one Friday night and enter a tournament. That'd be great."
