Gray O'Brien on playing Tony Gordon

There's a really nice interview with Gray O'Brien, who plays Tony Gordon, in The Sunday Mail. He reveals that he can't do his own stunts in Coronation Street as bosses were afraid of him breaking bones. And he shows a softer side than the one he portrays on the cobbles as evil Tony.

He said: “My father Eddie – who passed away in 2000 – was Coronation Street’s biggest fan. He absolutely worshipped Bill Tarmey who plays Jack Duckworth. It was lovely to walk up to Bill and tell him. My dad wouldn’t let me talk if the Street was on television. He hated being interrupted watching his favourite soap. Now I’m on screen with all his soap heroes. I’m sure he’s still watching and guiding me through it."

He also hinted that there are further twists and turns in the relationship between Tony and Maria. “Let’s just say their relationship gets a little bit softer over the next few months.”
