Coronation Street's Steve McDonald will be left "gutted" when Michelle Connor breaks up with him.
The brassy barmaid - played by Kym Marsh - calls time on their relationship next week after discovering that Steve knew about Peter Barlow's affair with Tina McIntyre, but actor Simon Gregson thinks the couple should work it out as they've made it through far worse.
Michelle is left disgusted and packs her bags when she learns Steve lied to help cover Peter's tracks, even though he knew the affair would hurt Michelle's pregnant pal, Peter's wife Carla (Alison King).
Simon reasoned: "Michelle has forgiven Steve for much worse than this, but she packs her bags and leaves. Steve tries to tell her that he didn't want to be the one to tear Carla's world apart by breaking the news to her - especially after finding out she was pregnant - but it's no good. He knows that he should have told Michelle at least.
"I just don't think it would be right for this to be the thing that breaks them. Steve would be gutted if it did."
Following Tina's death, Peter (Chris Gascoyne) is named as prime suspect in the murder investigation and Steve realises his neck is on the line, too, after helping provide Peter alibis for his liaisons with Tina.
Simon told Inside Soap magazine: "He ends up pinning Peter up against a wall. Steve has completely lost patience with this guy, who hasn't thought for one second that his actions might have affected Steve and his life."

Lucy Mecklenburgh thinks 'The Only Way Is Essex' is "cursed".
The 22-year-old beauty got engaged to her ex-boyfriend Mario Falcone on the ITV2 reality show but has admitted she doesn't think her former co-stars Charlie Sims and Ferne McCann should follow suit.
She said: "Charlie Sims has said he wants to propose to Ferne McCann on 'TOWIE'. My advice to him is don't do it! The show is cursed. Not one engagement has worked.
"I don't think there's any need to rush it either. If you love someone, that should be enough. I made that mistake."
The former reality TV star has advised the couple - who confirmed they'd got back together last week following a number of cheating scandals - to take their relationship one step at a time.
She wrote in her new! magazine column: "I reckon they should let the dust settle after everything and get through another series, as things usually get a bit rocky once filming starts."
Meanwhile, Lucy has admitted she avoids going to Mario's house to visit their dog Bentley because she's still getting over their split.
She said: "Mario has made it clear that I can see Bentley whenever I want, but it's just a bit awkward. I thought it'd be better to leave things and move forward."
