CORONATION Street newcomer Natalie Anderson has revealed there will be explosive scenes as she arrives on the cobbles as Theo’s secret wife.

The actress – who is best known for playing Alicia Gallagher in – has joined the soap in the top secret guest role.

But after making her debut as , in tonight’s episode, Natalie has spoken out about joining the soap and the explosive drama to come.

“I’m loving my time here at , it’s fantastic,”; she said.

“There’s a real nostalgia with Coronation Street, some of the most incredible actors have tread the cobbles so for me personally it’s a huge honour to follow those footsteps and be a tiny part of its history.

“I’m really enjoying myself, I’ve got some great friends here and it’s just a joy. To be part of that soap legacy, even a teeny part, is such an honour when you've grown up with it.

“Back in the day Raquel and Curly, Jack and Vera, Deirdre/Ken and Mike were all these amazing icons that many of us working in the genre today really looked up to as we set out.”;

Speaking about her character, she said: “Danielle is a very interesting character, she’s very layered, you never really know what you’re going to get, you think she’s going to be one thing then she turns out to be another, which is really fun to play.

“It’s great for me to play something different, going into all those different facets of her has been really exciting.”;

In tonight’s episode Danielle arrived on the cobbles to visit the parlour after her mum died suddenly – and she called her husband for support.

Theo arrived much to the shock of Todd, who slept with him just hours before, but Danielle has no idea.

However Natalie has teased the explosive scenes to come when she does find out.

She said: “This is what I mean when I say you don’t know what you’re going to get. Initially we must remember that Danielle is grieving, she’s only just lost her mum so her emotions are all over, one minute she can be crying and the next minute she’s shouting at somebody.

“I think if the secret was to come out I can’t imagine she’s going to take it very well. She’s a woman dealing with a lot of very intense emotions right now.”;

She added: “If she found out I think she would make things very difficult.

“I can’t imagine her going down without a bit of a fight and just accepting things, I think she would want to protect what she feels is hers.

“If the family were to split I think she would be extremely protective of the children because family is everything to her.

“I certainly can’t imagine it being smooth sailing with everyone going off happily into the distance.”;
