Coronation Street - Stars to walk cobbles?

"Fawlty Towers" star Andrew Sachs and former "Dynasty" actress Stephanie Beacham are said to be in talks over joining ITV's popular and long running soap Coronation Street.

Sachs, recently caught up in the BBC's Ross/Brand furor is said to be joining the street as Norris Cole's brother after the classic BBC comedy actor expressed interest. Scriptwriters "first started working on a possible character for Andrew Sachs six months ago" a spokesperson for the soap confirmed adding "We have been in discussions with Andrew about the proposed storyline which would be seen on screen sometime next year."


Meanwhile Stephanie Beacham is midway through the audition process for a new part, rumoured to be Ken Barlow's new love interest. A spokespeson confirmed that they had indeed seen the popular actress but added "A decision on the final casting has yet to be made". 


So does this confirm the parting of the ways for Deirdre and Ken? And I'm intrigued to find out about Norris Cole's brother....will they be chalk and cheese? Will they be like two peas from a pod? One thing that can be certain, they'll drive Rita up the wall!
