CORRIE PARTY PLATTER Coronation Street’s Julia Goulding and Lucy Fallon turn heads as they party at soap’s Christmas bash in Manchester
CORRIE stars Julia Goulding and Lucy Fallon bring the sparkle at their Christmas party.
Actress Julia, 40, who plays Shona Platt, posed alongside Lucy, 30, who is best known as Bethany Platt on the ITV soap.
The soap stars partied at The Refuge in Manchester on Friday night.
It comes after Corrie legend Bill Roache has bagged a new six-figure pay deal to stay on the hit soap aged 93.
The actor will continue as Ken Barlow after signing another one-year contract.
The deal also comes as a relief to fans who feared he’d be killed off in a huge car crash — which was this week revealed to be the centrepiece of the upcoming mash-up with Emmerdale called Corriedale.
A TV insider said: “Devotees of Corrie and Emmerdale know that they aren’t afraid to bump off certain characters in sensational storylines.
“So when they saw the image of the burning wreckage of two cars in publicity shots for the special episodes, they could have feared the worst
“Thankfully they’ll have cobbles icon Ken on their screens for at least another 12 months.”
Twice-married dad-of-five Bill has always said he wants to be still playing Ken on Corrie when he reaches his 100th birthday.
He holds the world record for the longest-serving TV actor in a continuous role.
Bill, who lives in Wilmslow, Cheshire, is believed to be one of the highest-paid stars on Corrie on around £250,000.
