Coronation Street viewers are working out the real identity of Mad Dog, the person texting Hope Stape. The 11-year-old has been the target of texts by a person going by the peculiar username.

Former Coronation Street actor Jamie Kenna has launched a new career worlds away from the ITV soap.

Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) and Phil Whittaker’s (Jamie Kenna) upcoming wedding in Coronation Street was paused recently so the cast could wish Maureen Lipman a very happy birthday!How lovely!The actress, who plays Evelyn Plummer, celebrated her birthday on May 10, turning 76. Cast including Jamie, Jennie, Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor), Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) and Antony Cotton (Sean Tully) can all be seen in the pictures, smiling and documenting the special moment for Maureen, as she receives a very delicious looking birthday cake!Of course, Maureen is involved in the filming of Fiz and Phill’s wedding as Evelyn is the grandma of Tyrone, and great grandma of Hope (Isabella Flanagan) and Ruby (Macy Alabi). The lead up to the wedding isn’t going well for the couple, as last night, Fiz and Phill had to deal with Evelyn and Mimi (Margot Leicester) bickering, the bridesmaids dresses being ruined, and the arrival of Camilla – Phill’s ex!Oh, and Tyrone told Fiz that he still loves her.

New images released ahead of Coronation Street’s upcoming episodes have revealed a heated exchange between Tyrone Dobbs' love rival Phil Whittaker with the pair spotted filming an intense scene in Manchester.Tyrone, played by Alan Halsall, was seen confronting his ex-partner Fix’s new beau, Phil, played by Jamie Kenna, with the two seen arguing, before Phil is seen to clap right back. It’s currently unknown whether the argument forms part of Tyrone’s attempts to win back the love of his life Fiz Stape, played by Jennie McAlpine, or if it’s just a concerned friend taking an interest in his former partner’s wellbeing - but in recent weeks, the mechanic has been seen appearing increasingly forlorn as he watches his ex start a new life with Phil.

Coronation Street's Tyrone Dobbs and Phil Whittaker haven't got off to the best of starts with their macho show of rivalry over Fiz Stape. And it seems the pair are far from cementing a friendship as they end up in another scrap.

Coronation Street has revealed that Green Street actor Jamie Kenna is joining the show’s cast as a brand new love interest for Fiz, played by Jennie McAlpine.
