Tension is back

With Idris Nazir's plot to seize Carla's Underworld factory dragging old rivals into a fresh fight, Carla Leanne tension is back on Coronation Street.

Britain's longest-running soap is reviving the rivalry between Carla Connor-Swain and Leanne Battersby.

"There are a few catfights! They've had quite a lot of fights in the past, haven't they? I recently shot a scene with them where Brody says they've got Jurassic history!", Khan told Inside Soap.
