Whatever they’re going to come up with I trust them and I just kind of get on with it. I know a lot of people are different and like to know in advance and they get more of a hands-on approach.” He then added: “I suppose that’s the way they get excited about it. I leave them to it and whatever presents itself is what I do. I’m old enough and ugly enough and I’ve been in this business enough. I started doing this when I was five years old, so I’ve been in it a long time. I just say the lines and try not to bump into the furniture, I come in, I put his hat on, I do the lines, try and deliver what I’m supposed to deliver and then I take the hat off and go home. “Everything is a surprise to me. I’m imagining that this year there’ll be some stuff with my son Dylan. He’s played by Liam McCheyne who I love. I think me and him might have some stuff coming forward, but we will see.”Don't miss a single story!

Could Sean one day run the pub with Glenda? (Credit: ITV) Coronation Street star Antony Cotton shares big dreams for characters Sean Tully and Glenda Shuttleworth Looking further forward, Sean’s future remains a mystery for Antony. But, there’s one dream storyline he’d love to see happen on-screen. And, it involves Sean eventually running the Rovers with his good mate Glenda Shuttleworth. He revealed: “I’ve always said that Sean is part of a Greek chorus. That’s the character of Sean. He’s part of the community, so I’m always happiest when he’s just behind the bar of the Rovers listening in to everybody else’s drama and disasters. I would love at some point if Sean was the boss of the pub, even if it was only temporary. I think that Sean and Glenda would make a great odd couple behind the bar. “Cath Tyldesley who’s just come back, and Aaron who they’re playing the landlord and landlady now, they’re pals. I’ve known Cath forever, and Aaron’s a brilliant actor and I love him, so I’m not trying to do anybody out of a job. But in the future if Sean was offered that, even if it was only temporary, I think that would be joyful.” Antony’s high hopes for Sean’s future revealed Antony further explained: “My memory of Corrie is when Bet and Alec ran the pub and when Alec was in trouble Bet would say ‘Alec back room now.’ They’d then go into the back room and have a massive argument about whatever. They were definitely an odd couple. I love the character of Glenda played by Jodie, so I think Glenda and Sean would make a brilliantly odd couple. Sean would always be henpecked by her even though he wouldn’t ever admit that. “I’m not necessarily interested in the big bombastic explosive stuff. Modern television dictates that that’s what a lot of the time we have to do, but for me the beauty of our show is the character stuff and what that can bring. I think Glenda and Sean in the pub as the landlord and landlady – I’d love that.” Read more: Here’s how old Coronation Street Jack Webster actor Kyran Bowes is Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google Good to Know Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google By Tamzin Meyer 17 Mar 2026, 16:03 By Tamzin Meyer 17 Mar 2026, 16:03 Previous Story Next Story
