Next on the agenda was a behind-the-scenes look at the drama that unfolds on one of the nation's beloved soap operas, Coronation Street. Actor Colson Smith, known for his role as Craig Tinker, sat down with fellow co-star and friend Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, to reminisce about their friendship and working relationship. Lucy playfully asked Colson how they became friends, to which he replied, "Christmas 2016." After some playful banter about the exact date, Lucy asked why Colson had "blanked" her for a whole year. "I don't know," Colson replied, "but it was all worth it when we finally became friends."
The conversation then shifted to a scary moment on set, with Lucy teasing, "And then they put us together." Colson jokingly responded, "Yeah, worst day of my life." Despite being on the show since 2011, Colson recently took a three-week break to participate in the revival of Celebrity Big Brother, where he placed third. During his time on the show, he clashed with fellow housemate Levi Roots, but is now back on the cobbles of Coronation Street, donning his police uniform once again.
In a video posted on Coronation Street's Instagram story, Colson expressed his appreciation for the support from fans during his time away and his excitement to be back on the show. "I've absolutely loved my time as a housemate, but I'm so buzzing to be back playing Craig Tinker on the streets of Weatherfield," he said. He also shared updates on his own social media, including pictures of his scripts and commenting on the rainy Manchester weather.
As the conversation continued, the topic turned to the recent passing of a legendary co-star and a shocking exit on the show. But for now, Colson is just happy to be back home on the cobbles, keeping the streets of Weatherfield safe.
