Chris Fountain on Tommy's future on Coronation Street

Chris Fountain has given a good, long interview to Digital Spy about playing Tommy Duckworth on Coronation Street.

I'm no fan of Tommy because let's face it, he's not done much since he turned up at Tyrone's door, has he?  But in the last few weeks Tommy's been a good, solid character while Tyrone's been messed about by Kirsty and I've been impressed by the character for at least doing that, if not much else.

Corrie Producer Phil Collinson has already threatened promised us that Tommy and Tina will get together this year and that they'll "become the new Jack and Vera".  Well, we'll see about that.

Chris has been nominated in the National TV Awards for Best Newcomer and he also speaks about that in the interview.  You can read the whole interview here.

Tommy and Tina together should be the most riveting Corrie couple since Sarah Platt and Scooter:)

While she certainly has Vera's gob, Tommy is a far cry from Jack, a workshy schemer.

I kind of like Tommy and he works well with Tyrone. Who else is there on the street besides Tina to put with Tommy...? Tina/Tommy, Fiz/Tyrone....ah lovely.

It would be nice to keep a Duckworth on the Street. As their relationship has slowly developed instead of being slapped together, Tommy & Tina might just work. He needs a real job, tho'.
