Exclusive: Elle Mulvaney, who portrays Amy Barlow on Coronation Street, talked candidly about her motivation for joining the Wigan MS Therapy Center as an ambassador.

Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow on the ITV soap, has become a patron for Wigan MS Therapy Centre off-screen after seeing first hand the effects of multiple sclerosis (MS) on a family member. The actress is currently trying to raise both money and awareness for the centre when she’s not hard at work on the cobbles.

Speaking exclusively she said: “I think there’s not much information about MS and I think unless you know somebody who’s been affected by it [you don’t know about it]. Before a member of my family was diagnosed with it, we’d never heard of it, we didn’t know what it was.”

“It was only when it affected our lives that we then had to do our research on it. So I just think the more awareness we raise on it, the more people will actually be interested in it. Because obviously it affects people at different levels, but it’s a really debilitating illness that affects people’s entire lives and it never goes away.” As an example of the misconceptions of the condition, Elle recalled witnessing people assuming her family member was drunk rather than living with MS as they couldn’t differentiate.

According to the NHS multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.

Elle got involved with the centre through her family’s love of rugby. “Me and my family always go to watch the rugby, and we always sit in the same seats, and we ended up getting really friendly with the people who sat in the seats next to us and they run the charity,” she revealed.

“MS is something that’s affected them quite closely as it turns out his wife has MS. And they said to me: ‘Do you want to be a patron for the charity?’ So I thought, ‘Okay, well, I’ll go and see what this is all about.’

Speaking about the centre’s facilities she explained: “There aren’t any centres up north for MS. There’s only ones down south, which are funded by the government. So this one was set up for people who are living with MS, and they have facilities like a fully accessible gym.

“They have comfy couches so people can come and they can just talk. They also provide things like physiotherapists for people, and they have people who come in and they can do haircuts.

“Sometimes it can be really difficult for people with MS to have normal things like haircuts because, just as an example, it might really hurt their neck to keep it lent back for a certain amount of time. So they have people come in and they’ll do it for either discounted or for free, and they fund it all themselves because they don’t have any funding whatsoever from the government.

“I agreed to be a patron for them, and since then, I ran the Manchester 10k and I raised over £1000 for them on that run, which I was really pleased about,” she reflected.

“And then in the past couple of weeks, they had their annual summer ball, and me and my family raised, I think, three and a half grand for them. So yeah, I mean, it’s obviously not the biggest amount of money in the world, but to a charity like them, who don’t have any funding from anybody else it means a lot, even just doing something small.”

Elle, who has played the role of Amy since 2010, is currently in the middle of training for a half marathon with her sister Georgia which is her next project to raise money for them

“Not many people have been roped in [to help] yet,” she confessed, “but they will be! For my 10k loads of people were roped into helping.

“Loads of people from work donated, loads of my friends and family donated, which I was really pleased about and it’s the power of social media as well. When you post it online, so many people are really generous and it honestly restores your faith in humanity a little bit when you see everybody coming together for a cause, even just to support you and just say, good luck.”

Coronation Street’s Alina ‘Caught Lying’ as Real Baby Father ‘Revealed’ – and It’s Not Tyrone or Seb

Coronation Street’s Alina is lying about the true identity of her son’s father according to fans as they work out who it is – and it’s a soap legend. Coronation Street Alina Pop’s real baby father has been revealed – and it’s not Tyrone Dobbs or Seb Franklin. Alina (Ruxandra Porojnicu) made her return to the cobbles last week with a big baby bombshell, that she had a young son. After her former love rival Fiz (Jennie Mcalpine) bumped into Alina, she quickly realised her husband Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) could be the father of her child. As fans will recall Tyrone and Alina were in a relationship a few years ago – before Alina left Weatherfield, claiming she wasn’t pregnant. And in her final scene, viewers saw her at the airport departures lounge where she cradled her blossoming baby bump. Now, three years later Alina is back, and when Tyrone found out about her return, he was left reeling. He managed to track her down, where she confessed that he was her son’s father. However, it’s fair to say fans are convinced that Tyrone isn’t actually the real dad of her son.

Fans have been quick to share their thoughts on Alina’s baby confession. Some viewers are claiming the real baby daddy could be dead Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) – who briefly dated Alina during her first stint on the ITV soap. However, in what would be a huge twist, other viewers are convinced the real father is actually soap legend David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). Fans will recall the pair ended up sleeping together in a one-night-stand back in 2020. Now, viewers reckon Alina could have secretly had the child off-screen – which would explain why her son looks older than two-years-old.

On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one person mused: “I think Alina is lying and the baby isn’t Tyrones. She’s up to something.” A second wrote: “She had a night with David Platt. Could definitely be a mini David!” A third penned: “I forgot about this!” Someone else chimed in and mused: “If the baby is older than 2 and he looks it, it could possibly be Davids.” A fifth said: “She did have one night with David and baby kind of looks like him. I think that is why she left rubbing her tummy. She knew it was Davids.”

Coronation Street’s Alina rocked back up to the cobbles this week with her son – and fans reckon they know exactly who the father is

The real father of Coronation Street Alina Pop’s baby has been ‘revealed’ – and it’s not Tyrone Dobbs.

The character, played by Ruxandra Porojnicu. made her shock return to the soap this week. Alina first appeared on the cobbles in 2019 – and had two stints on the long-running show.

She was part of a storyline involving a human trafficking ring which gripped viewers across the country. Loyal fans will remember how Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) discovered she had been shipped over to the UK to work at a nail salon.

At the time, her ‘boss’ confiscating her passport to prevent her from returning home. When she finally escaped his from her employer’s cruel grasp, she soon fled the country to reunite with her family.

But she didn’t leave the soap for long, with the actor returning to the soap back in February 2020. Determined to make Coronation Street her home, it wasn’t long before she drove a wedge between Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and his long-term partner Fiz (Jennie Mcalpine).

Sparks immediately flew between the two, with Tyrone making the difficult decision to call time on his nine-year relationship with Fiz.

However, the mechanic’s pyromaniac daughter Hope (Isabella Flanagan) wasn’t best pleased with her dad’s new girlfriend. Hellbent on splitting the pair up, she lit a fire in the flat which inevitably caused Alina to miscarry her baby.

The couple then moved into the salon flat together, but the mechanic’s pyromaniac daughter Hope (Isabella Flanagan) wasn’t best pleased with her dad’s new girlfriend. Hellbent on splitting the pair up, she lit a fire in the flat which inevitably caused Alina to miscarry her baby.

In September 2021, the soon-to-be mother decided to jet back to Romania after Tyrone had lied about Hope’s destructive behaviour.

Tyrone managed to stop her when he found her at the Chariot Square Hotel, determined to fight for their relationship and to be a part of his child’s life.

Alina insisted to a pleading Tyrone that she wasn’t pregnant after all and had simply got her dates muddled up. But shortly before she boarded the flight, viewers saw her at the airport departures lounge where she cradled her blossoming baby bump.

However, this week, Fiz spotted Alina at the supermarket. Alina explained that she had been called as witness in the human trafficking trial, and Fiz then spotted a photo of a little boy on Alina’s phone.

Alina sheepishly then left. Certain the boy was actually Tyrone’s son, Fiz headed to the Chariot Square Hotel where Alina was staying. There she told her that she was returning to Romania tomorrow.

Fiz eventually came clean to Tyrone and she Fiz urged him to find Alina himself. However, when he arrived, he was told she’d already checked out.

And while fans reckon Alina’s child is actually Tyrone’s, other viewers are convinced her baby daddy is somebody else.

On a Reddit thread discussing Alina’s child on the soap, one viewer said: “He looks way too old to be Tyrone’s kid??? Imagine if Seb was the dad and she’d been keeping the baby hidden…”

While on a Corrie Facebook fan page, someone else mused: “Do you think Alina’s baby is Tyrone’s?” A third replied: “Didn’t she go with Seb tho?” Another viewer wrote: “That’s true, that would be a good twist!”

Coronation Street: Kit’s Next Move Revealed as He Sets His Sights on an ‘Unlikely’ Couple

Kit Green makes a fresh move next week, and fans of Coronation Street are certain that he is up to no good and somehow connected to Joel Deering.

There have been clues revealed by Coronation Street regarding Kit Green’s future move. After spending decades apart, Bernie Winter recently realized she had been tricked by her long-lost son Kit.

Resenting his biological mother for leaving him when he was a youngster, Kit is attempting to turn Gemma Winter and Paul Foreman against her. Police officer Kit used Lauren Bolton’s missing DNA to frame Nathan Curtis and have him arrested earlier this year; Joel Deering, the true culprit, is still at large.

On Monday (August 5) night, Kit secretly collaborated with criminal Sid and his illicit counterfeit T-shirt business, promising silence in exchange for half the profits. Next week’s spoilers hint at more intrigue surrounding Kit as he moves into Glenda Shuttleworth’s old room at the Rovers pub, recognising its potential as a hub of gossip.

Later in the week, he flirts with Daisy Midgeley as he settles into the Rovers. Meanwhile, Daisy’s love interest, Ryan Connor, admires Kit’s vinyl collection and suggests they go out for a drink.

The question remains: what are Kit’s intentions towards Daisy and Ryan, and why is he moving into the Rovers?

In the upcoming week, Paul, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), is disappointed when Kit fails to join them for a family dinner. Later, Paul plays Kit a message begging him to forgive Bernie for the sake of the family.

Kit stubbornly refuses but when Paul suddenly finds himself struggling for breath, Kit is thrown into panic….

This comes as viewers are convinced that Kit is secretly evil Joel’s accomplice on the cobbles. Viewers will recall that Lauren made a shock comeback last month as Cait Fitton reprised her role.

Weeks on from a brutal attack by Joel, which Weatherfield residents still don’t know about, Lauren, who was believed to be dead, was revealed to be alive as she headed to the hospital to visit Roy Cropper after he suffered a heart attack weeks on from him being wrongly imprisoned for Lauren’s ‘murder’.

And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, forcing her into a family room and pleading with her not to reveal what happened. As violent and evil Joel went to lash out again, Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell before fleeing the hospital.

Joel has been secretly harbouring Lauren in a vacant flat, making clandestine visits as he plans her move to Ireland. However, Joel’s sinister plot was unveiled last month when he was spotted searching “What drugs can induce premature labour” on his laptop.

Last week, Lauren faced a terrifying ordeal when she was mugged and subsequently collapsed at the flat, with her newborn son now battling for his life in an incubator.

Coronation Street fans have taken to Twitter to share their theories about the storyline. One viewer speculated: “I say Kit is involved more in this Lauren storyline like there’s something odd with him and could be a nice twist like maybe he knows Joel etc and maybe Kit is father of her baby #corrie”.

Another suggested: “I think that Kit ‘s in league with Joel . I’ve just got this feeling #Corrie”, while another pondered: “I wonder if Joel is Kits brother? ? #Corrie”. A different fan added: “I’m convinced that Kit is involved with Joel . He’s not been brought in just to be Bernie’s long lost son #Corrie.”
